Sivu 151 - It is pure when .the accent rests upon every second syllable through the whole line. Courage uncertain dangers may abate, But who can bear th' approach of certain fate ? DRYDEN.
Sivu 73 - When souls that should agree to will the same, To have one common object for their wishes, Look different ways, regardless of each other, Think what a train of wretchedness ensues...
Sivu 18 - He who knows not thee, Knows not the beft emotions of the heart, Thofe tender tears that humanize the foul, The figh that charms, the pang that gives delight ; He dwells too near to cruelty and pride, And is a novice in the fchool of virtue.

Sivu 193 - It is quite a mistaken idea, that a woman cannot keep a secret — nobody so well. Trust her but with half, or try to keep it from her altogether, and she is sure to beat you ; because her pride prompts her to find out what the man thinks it right to conceal, and then her vanity induces her to tell what she has found out ; and this in order to show her power of discovery. Trust all to her, and she will never betray you ; but half a confidence is not worth having...
Sivu 64 - His woYds will ever echo in my ears ; Still will he be the torture of my days, Bane of my life, and ruin of my glory.
Sivu 54 - When gratitude o'erflows the swelling heart. And breathes in free and uncorrupted praise For benefits received : propitious heaven Takes such acknowledgment as fragrant incense. And doubles all its blessings.
