Stran 64 - 164 Then we upon our globe's last verge shall go, And view the ocean leaning on the sky : From thence our rolling neighbours we shall know, And on the lunar world securely pry. 165 This I foretell from your auspicious care, Who great in search of God and nature grow ; Who best your wise Creator's praise declare,
Stran 101 - soil been freed From cockle, that oppress'd the noble seed ; David for him his tuneful harp had strung, And Heaven had wanted one immortal song. But wild ambition loves to slide, not stand, And fortune's ice prefers to virtue's land.
Stran 100 - he broke; The pillars of the public safety shook ; And fitted Israel for a foreign yoke : Then seized with fear, yet still affecting fame, Usurp'da patriot's all-atoning name. So easy still it proves, in factious times, iso With public zeal to cancel private crimes! How
Stran 3 - on Venus' soil, One jewel set off with so many a foil; Blisters with pride swell'd, which through's flesh did sprout Like rose-buds, stuck i' th' lily-skin about. Each little pimple had a tear in it, To wail the fault its rising did commit:

Stran 182 - one first principle must be : But what, or who, that UNIVERSAL HE : Whether some soul encompassing this ball, Unmade, unmoved ; yet making, moving all; Or various atoms' interfering dance Leap'd into form, the noble work of chance ; Or this Great All was from eternity ; Not even the
Stran 115 - Let Israel's foes suspect his heavenly call, 664 And rashly judge his wit apocryphal; Our laws for such affronts have forfeits made ; He takes his life who takes away his trade. Were I myself in witness Corah's place, The wretch who did me such a dire disgrace, Should whet my memory, though once forgot,
