الصفحة 418 - Berkshire, •This modest stone, what few vain marbles can, May truly say, Here lies an honest man : A poet, blest beyond the poet's fate, Whom Heaven kept sacred from the Proud and Great : Foe to loud praise, and friend to learned ease, Content with science in the vale of peace.

الصفحة 32 - Newcastle-under-Line, a scattered town, on the top of a hill, inhabited almost entirely by potters ; a multitude of whom assembled at five in the evening. Deep attention sat on every face, though as yet accompanied with deep ignorance. But if the heart be toward God, he will, in due time, enlighten the understanding.
الصفحة iv - Here she beholds the chaos dark and deep, Where nameless somethings in their causes sleep, Till Genial Jacob, or a warm third day, Call forth each mass, a poem, or a play: How hints, like spawn, scarce quick in embryo lie, How new-born nonsense first is taught to cry, Maggots half-form'd in rhyme exactly meet, And learn to crawl upon poetic feet.
الصفحة 419 - I rove, And studious wander in the Grecian grove ; While wonder and delight the soul engage To sound the depths of Plato's sacred page ; Where science in attractive fable lies, And, veil'd, the more invites her lover's eyes. Transported thence...
الصفحة 440 - Having acquired a large fortune, his purse was always open to the calls of charity, and to the support of every institution for the public good.
