Sivu 390 - Yes ! let the rich deride, the proud disdain These simple blessings of the lowly train ; To me more dear, congenial to my heart, One native charm, than all the gloss of art...
Sivu 222 - Why should we faint and fear to live alone, Since all alone, so Heaven has willed, we die,* Nor even the tenderest heart, and next our own, Knows half the reasons why we smile and sigh?
Sivu 65 - As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below, So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while.
Sivu 81 - Is there, in human form, that bears a heart — A wretch, a villain, lost to love and truth — That can, with studied, sly, ensnaring art, Betray sweet Jenny's unsuspecting youth ? Curse on his perjur'd arts, dissembling, smooth!
Sivu 64 - If I do prove her haggard, Though that her jesses were my dear heart-strings, I'd whistle her off, and let her down the wind, To prey at fortune.
Sivu 406 - And the green turf lie lightly on thy breast : There shall the morn her earliest tears bestow, There the first roses of the year shall blow; While angels with their silver wings o'ershade The ground, now sacred by thy reliques made.
Sivu 405 - Come, rest in this bosom, my own stricken deer, Though the herd have fled from thee, thy home is still here; Here still is the smile, that no cloud can o'ercast, And a heart and a hand all thy own to the last.
Sivu 242 - Man hard of heart to man ! Of horrid things Most horrid '. 'Mid stupendous, highly strange ! Yet oft his courtesies are smoother wrongs ; Pride brandishes the favours He confers, And contumelious his humanity: What then his vengeance ? Hear it not, ye stars ! And thou, pale moon ! turn paler at the sound ; Man is to man the sorest, surest ill.
