Sivu 154 - I HAVE observed, that a reader seldom peruses a book with pleasure, till he knows whether the writer of it be a black or a fair man, of a mild or choleric disposition, married or a bachelor, with other particulars of the like nature, that conduce very much to the right understanding of an author.
Sivu 155 - Twas her own country bred the flock so fair! 'Twas her own labour did the fleece prepare; And, sooth to say, her pupils ranged around, Through pious awe, did term it passing rare; For they in gaping wonderment abound, And think, no doubt, she been the greatest wight on ground. Albeit ne flattery did corrupt her truth, Ne pompous title did debauch her ear; Goody, good woman, gossip...

Sivu 7 - Queen of it himself, and wrote her a letter evincing the mild gaiety of his disposition, as well as the courage of his soul, in which he said,. " What consoles me is, the reflection that I am burning for you.
Sivu 231 - To prouder poets' lofty tales. Circling the Old Oak Table round, Whose moral worth thy measure owns, Heroes and heroines yet are found Like Abner and the Widow Jones. There Gilbert Meldrum's sterner tones In virtue's cause are bold and free, And ev'n the patient sufferer's moans In pain and sorrow plead for thee.
Sivu 266 - Who does most for the sex? — Let it fairly be try'd, And they that look round 'em will presently see, They're much less beholden to you than to me; I grant it, indeed, mighty favours you boast, But how scanty your favours, how scarce is a toast? A shape, a complexion, you confer now and then, But to one that you give, you refuse it to ten...
Sivu 171 - The savage practice of torturing and burning to death their prisoners, existed in this nation. An unfortunate female, taken in war, of the Paduca nation, was destined to this horrible death. The fatal hour had arrived. The trembling victim, far from her home and her friends, was fastened to the stake. The whole tribe was assembled on the surrounding plain to witness the awful scene. Just when the funeral pile was...
