Stran xiv - I perceived that he had already changed my guinea, and had got a bottle of Madeira and a glass before him. I put the cork into the bottle, desired he would be calm, and began to talk to him of the means by which he might be extricated.
Stran xiv - I put the cork into the bottle, desired he would be calm, and began to talk to him of the means by which he might be extricated. He then told me that he had a novel ready for the press, which he produced to me. I looked into it, and saw its merit; told the landlady I should soon return, and having gone to a bookseller sold it for sixty pounds. I brought Goldsmith the money, and he discharged his rent, not without rating his landlady in a high tone for having used him so ill.
Stran xv - I was empowered to pay most liberally for his exertions ; and, would you believe it ! he was so absurd as to say ' I can earn as much as will supply my wants without writing for any party ; the assistance you offer is therefore unnecessary to me...
Stran xii - India voyage, nor are my resolutions altered ; though, at the same time, I must confess, it gives me some pain to think I am almost beginning the world at the age of thirtyone. Though I never had a day's sickness since I saw you, yet I am not that strong, active man you once knew me.

Stran xxi - How often have I blest the coming day, When toil remitting lent its turn to play, And all the village train, from labour free, Led up their sports beneath the spreading tree; While many a pastime circled in the shade, The...
Stran xi - I know of no misery but a gaol to which my own imprudencies and your letter seem to point. I have seen it inevitable these three or four weeks, and, by heavens ! request it as a favour, as a favour that may prevent somewhat more fatal. I have been some years struggling with a wretched being, with all that contempt which indigence brings with it, with all those strong passions which make contempt insupportable.
Stran xxii - Historian, Who left no species of writing untouched, or Unadorned by his pen, Whether to move laughter, Or draw tears : He was a powerful master Over the affections, Though at the same time a gentle tyrant ; Of a genius at once sublime, lively, and Equal to every subject: In expression at once noble, Pure, and delicate.
Stran xviii - ' cried the Doctor, and lo, on uncovering the shillings, which had been dispersed, each beneath a separate hat, they were all found 90 congregated under one.
