Stran 144 - How small , of all that human hearts endure , That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.
Stran 320 - Here love his golden shafts employs, here lights His constant lamp, and waves his purple wings, Reigns here and revels...
Stran 386 - Why has not man a microscopic eye ? For this plain reason, man is not a fly.
Stran 253 - IF you should see a flock of pigeons in a field of corn; and if (instead of each picking where and what it liked, taking just as much as it wanted, and no more) you should see ninety-nine of them gathering all they got into a heap; reserving nothing for themselves but the chaff and the refuse; keeping this heap for one, and that the weakest perhaps...

Whose causeway parts the vale with...
Stran 383 - Annual for me, the grape, the rose renew The juice nectareous, and the balmy dew; For me, the mine a thousand treasures brings; For me, health gushes from a thousand springs; Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise; My foot-stool earth, my canopy the skies.
Stran 80 - Just what you hear you have; and what's unknown The same, my lord, if Tully's or your own. All that we feel of it begins and ends In the small circle of our foes or friends; To all beside as much an empty shade...
