Stran 188 - Should have his glorious name enroll'd ; He better claims the glorious name who knows With wisdom to enjoy what heaven bestows : Who knows the wrongs of want to bear, Even in its lowest, last extreme ; Yet can with conscious virtue fear, Far worse than death, a deed of shame ; Undaunted, for his country or his friend, To sacrifice his life— 0 glorious end ! ODE TO MjECENAS.
Stran 261 - And venture into love ! The maid that loves, Goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, And puts her trust in miracles for safety.
Stran 177 - To dig the rock, and search the pearly deep. These costly toys our silly fair surprise; The shining follies cheat their feeble sight ; Their hearts, secure in trifles, love despise : Tis vain to court them, but more vain to write. Why did the gods conceal the little mind And earthly thoughts beneath a heavenly face ; Forget the worth that dignifies mankind, Yet...

Stran 62 - ... And muscles, all obstructions shall remove. In the new moon all shellfish fill with juice, But not all seas the richer sort produce ; The largest in the Lucrine lake we find, But the Circaean are of sweeter kind. Crayfish are best on the Misenian coasts, And soft Tarentum broadest scollops boasts. If not exact and elegant of taste, Let none presume to understand a feast ; 'Tis not enough to buy the precious fish, But know what sauce gives flavour to the dish, If stew'd or roasted it shall relish...
Stran 103 - ... poverty with shame he views; And wealth with every vice pursues, My lord, more vicious as more great, Views him with horror, and with hate: At least, shall o'er him tyrannise, And like a fond mamma advise, Who bids her darling daughter shun The paths of folly she had run. 'Think not,' he cries, 'to live like me; 'My wealth supports my vanity; 'Your folly should be moderate, Proportioned to a small estate.
Stran 13 - I am asham'd that women are so simple To offer war where they should kneel tor peace. Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway.
