Stran 215 - Farewell, great painter of mankind ! Who reach'd the noblest point of art, Whose pictured morals charm the mind, And through the eye correct the heart. If Genius fire thee, reader, stay, If nature touch thee, drop a tear, If neither move thee — turn away — For Hogarth's honour'd dust lies here.

It was a simple print I saw, The fair face of a musing boy ; Yet, while I gazed, a sense of awe Seemed. blending with my joy. A simple print : — the graceful flow Of boyhood's soft and wavy hair, LUCY IIOJPER.
Stran 85 - Indeed it forms a decided feature and its light cannot be put out, because it is the light of nature — the Mother of all that is valuable in poetry, painting or anything else — where an appeal to the soul is required.
Stran 187 - ... manner, that the Magnifico was utterly amazed.
