Pride still is aiming at the blest abodes : Men would be angels , angels would be
gods . Aspiring to be gods , if angels fell , Aspiring to be angels , men rebel : And
who but wishes to invert the laws Of order , sins against th ' Eternal Cause ...

Deity , should snatch the draught , With night eternal blot it out , and give The
skies alarm , lest angels too might die ? If human souls , why not angelic , too ...

A manger ' s nigh , Make the great Being in a manger lie ; Fill the wide sky with
angels on the wing , Make thousands gaze , and make ten thousand Let men
afflict him , men he came to save , ( sing ; And still afflict him till he reach the

Here Hope , that smiling angel , stands , And golden anchors grace her hands ...

Sivu 243 - tis madness to defer; Next day the fatal precedent will plead ; Thus on, till wisdom is push'd out of life Procrastination is the thief of time ; Year after year it steals, till all are fled, And to the mercies of a moment leaves The vast concerns of an eternal scene.
Sivu 45 - Lo, the poor Indian ! whose untutor'd mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind; His soul, proud science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk, or milky way...
Sivu 256 - LET observation, with extensive view, Survey mankind, from China to Peru ; Remark each anxious toil, each eager strife, And watch the busy scenes of crowded life...
Sivu 261 - Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause awhile from letters, to be wise; There mark what ills the scholar's life assail, Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.
Sivu 7 - Rising or falling still advance his praise. His praise, ye Winds, that from four quarters blow, Breathe soft or loud ; and wave your tops, ye Pines, With every plant, in sign of worship wave. Fountains, and ye that warble, as ye flow, Melodious murmurs, warbling tune his praise.
Sivu 41 - Vast chain of being! which from God began Natures ethereal, human, angel, man, Beast, bird, fish, insect, what no eye can see, No glass can reach; from Infinite to thee, From thee to Nothing. On superior...
Sivu 262 - The march begins, in military state, And nations on his eye suspended wait; Stern Famine guards the solitary coast, And Winter barricades the realms of Frost; He comes...
Sivu 145 - These, as they change, Almighty Father, these Are but the varied God. The rolling year Is full of thee.
Sivu 276 - FAR in a wild, unknown to public view, From youth to age a reverend hermit grew ; The moss his bed, the cave his humble cell, His food the fruits, his drink the crystal well : Remote from man, with God he pass'd the days, Prayer all his business, all his pleasure praise.
Sivu 148 - tis nought to me, Since God is ever present, ever felt, In the void waste as in the city full ; And where He vital breathes there must be joy.
