Sivu 99 - WHAT slender Youth bedew'd with liquid odours Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave, Pyrrha for whom bind'st thou In wreaths thy golden Hair, Plain in thy neatness? O how oft shall he On Faith and changed Gods complain : and Seas Rough with black winds and storms Unwonted shall admire : Who now enjoys thee credulous, all Gold, Who always vacant, always amiable Hopes thee ; of flattering gales Unmindful.
Sivu 134 - He, that holds fast the golden mean, And lives contentedly between The little and the great, Feels not the wants that pinch the poor, Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door, Imbittering all his state.
Sivu 147 - THE man resolv'd and steady to his trust, Inflexible to ill, and obstinately just, May the rude rabble's insolence despise, Their senseless clamours and tumultuous cries; The tyrant's fierceness he beguiles, And the stern brow, and the harsh voice defies, And with superior greatness smiles.
Sivu 52 - When conquer'd Greece brought in her captive arts, " She triumph'd o'er her savage conquerors' hearts ; " Taught our rough verse its numbers to refine, " And our rude style with elegance to shine.
Sivu 145 - Sleep is a god too proud to wait in palaces, And yet so humble too, as not to scorn The meanest country cottages : " His poppy grows among the corn." The halcyon Sleep will never build his nest In any stormy breast. Tis not enough that he does find Clouds and darkness in their mind; Darkness but half his work will do : Tis not enough ; he must find quiet too.
Sivu 99 - What slender Youth bedew'd with liquid odours Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave, Pyrrha for whom bind'st thou In wreaths thy golden Hair, Plain in thy neatness; O how oft shall he On Faith and changed Gods complain: and Seas Rough with black winds and storms Unwonted shall admire: Who now enjoyes thee credulous, all Gold, Who alwayes vacant, alwayes amiable Hopes thee; of flattering gales Unmindful!.
Sivu 43 - Make the Greek authors your supreme delight; Read them by day, and study them by night. — ' And yet our sires with joy could Plautus hear, Gay were his jests, his numbers charm'd their ear.
Sivu 193 - Will toss us in a morning more ? What with your friend you nobly share, At least, you rescue from your heir. Not you, Torquatus, boast of Rome, When Minos once has fix'd your doom, Or eloquence, or splendid birth, Or virtue, shall restore to earth. Hippolytus, unjustly slain, Diana calls to life in vain ; Nor can the might of Theseus rend The chains of hell, that hold his friend.
Sivu 43 - The critic, who with nice discernment knows What to his country and his friends he owes ; How various nature warms the human breast, To love the parent, brother, friend, or guest ; What the great offices of judges are, Of senators, of generals sent to war ; He can distinguish, with unerring art, The strokes peculiar to each different part.
Sivu 134 - What if thine heaven be overcast, The dark appearance will not last ; Expect a brighter sky. The God that strings the silver bow Awakes sometimes the muses too, And lays his arrows by.
