Sivu 343 - Heaven doth with us as we with torches do, Not light them for themselves ; for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not. Spirits are not finely...
Sivu 44 - To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and fell, To slowly trace the forest's shady scene, Where things that own not man's dominion dwell, And mortal foot hath ne'er or rarely been ; To climb the trackless mountain all unseen, With the wild flock that never needs a fold ; Alone o'er steeps and foaming falls to lean ; This is not solitude ; 'tis but to hold Converse with Nature's charms, and view her stores unroll'd.
Sivu 324 - And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat ; and it cometh to pass.
Sivu 357 - The mouldering gateway strews the grass-grown court, Once the calm scene of many a simple sport; When nature pleased, for life itself was new, And the heart promised what the fancy drew.
Sivu 343 - What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure, he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and god-like reason To fust in us unused.
Sivu 91 - Rich marbles, richer painting — shrines where flame The lamps of gold — and haughty dome which vies In air with Earth's chief structures, though their frame Sits on the firm-set ground, and this the clouds must claim.
Sivu 189 - Flung about carelessly, it shines afar, Catching the eye in many a broken link, In many a turn and traverse as it glides...
Sivu 235 - Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. 2 Father in heaven, O hear when we call ; Hear, for Christ's sake, who is Saviour of all; Feeble and fainting we trust in thy might, In doubting and darkness thy love be our light; Let us sleep on thy breast while the night taper burns, Wake in thy arms when morning returns.
Sivu 234 - FADING, still fading, the last beam is shining, Father in heaven ! the day is declining, Safety and innocence fly with the light, Temptation and danger walk forth with the night; From the fall of the shade till the morning bells chime, Shield me from danger, save me from crime.
Sivu 50 - The persecutions have long ceased ; and time and its attendant improvements have diminished the prejudices, and weakened the feelings of aversion with which they were formerly regarded. But they are still the race of Cagots — still a separate family — still outcasts — still a people who are evidently no kindred of those who live around them, but the remnant of a different and more ancient family.
