الصفحة 165 - Or wak'd to extafy the living lyre. But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the fpoils of Time did ne'er unroll ; Chill Penury reprefs'd their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the foul.
الصفحة 111 - June 25 [1701], [printed in] Select Letters, 1777, 2 vols., vol. ii, p. 113. I send you a List of some Statues, about the same size with that Pair you have ; DEMOSTHENES LOCKE CHAUCER SHAKESPEARE and and and and CICERO, NEWTON, SPENCER, MILTON. When you have fixed upon which Pair you will have, you will let me know whether you will have them white or bronzed.
الصفحة 172 - She starts, but lies again. The roe is in the cleft of the rock; the heath-cock's head is beneath his wing. No beast, no bird is abroad, but the owl and the howling fox: she on a leafless tree; he in a cloud on the hill. Dark, panting, trembling, sad, the traveller has lost his way.

I remember...
الصفحة 176 - O maid! Thou that hast been the delight of heroes! The blast drives the phantom away; white, without form, it ascends the hill. The breezes drive the blue mist, slowly, over the narrow vale.
الصفحة 175 - ... the grass of the rock. The firs fall from their place. The turfy hut is torn. The clouds, divided, fly over the sky, and show the burning stars.

الصفحة 179 - Night is alike to me, stormy or gloomy the sky. Night flies before the beam, when it is poured on the hill. The young day returns from his clouds, but we return no more. Where are our chiefs of old? Where our kings of mighty name ? The fields of their battles are silent. Scarce their mossy tombs remain. We shall also be forgot. This lofty house shall fall. Our sons shall not behold the ruins in grass. They shall ask of the aged, " Where stood the walls of our fathers...
الصفحة 320 - The dear lamented son I have lost, was the pride and joy of my heart ; but I hope I may be the more easily excused for having looked on him in this light, since he was not so from the outward advantages he possessed, but from the virtues and rectitude of his mind. The...
