الصفحة 155 - The praise of Bacchus then the sweet musician sung, Of Bacchus ever fair, and ever young. The jolly god in triumph comes ; Sound the trumpets, beat the drums ; Flushed with a purple grace He shows his honest face : Now give the hautboys breath ; he comes, he comes.
الصفحة 108 - O sacred solitude ; divine retreat ! Choice of the prudent ! envy of the great ! By thy pure stream, or in thy waving shade, We court fair wisdom, that celestial maid : The genuine offspring of her lov'd embrace, (Strangers on earth,) are innocence and peace. There from the ways of men laid safe ashore, We smile to hear the distant tempest roar; There, bless'd with health, with bus'ness unperplex'd, This life we relish, and ensure the next.

But, not to wrong the fair, the Muse must own 415 In this pursuit they court not Fame alone ; But join to that a more substantial view, " From thinking free, to be free agents too.
الصفحة 65 - O'er globes, and sceptres, now on thrones it swells ; Now, trims the midnight lamp in college cells : 'Tis tory, whig ; it plots, prays, preaches, pleads, Harangues in senates, squeaks in masquerades.
الصفحة 31 - Gave names to nations ; or fam'd empires join'd ; Who rais'd the vale, and laid the mountain low ; And taught obedient rivers where to flow ; Who with vast fleets, as with a mighty chain, Could bind the madness of the roaring main : All lost ? all undistinguish'd ? no where found ? How will this truth in Bourbon's palace sound ? That hour, on which the...
الصفحة 102 - But if, by chance, an ill-adapted word Drops from the lip of her unwary lord, Her darling china, in a whirlwind sent, Just intimates the lady's discontent.
