الصفحة xii - I'd have a private seat, Built uniform, not little nor too great; Better, if on a rising ground it stood ; On this side fields, on that a neighbouring wood.
الصفحة 5 - I'd in pleasure, ease, and plenty live. And as I near approach'd the verge of life, Some kind relation (for I'd have no wife) Should take upon him all my worldly care, Whilst I did for a better state prepare.
الصفحة 1 - A little more, sometimes t' oblige a friend. Nor should the sons of poverty repine Too much at fortune, they should taste of mine ; And all that objects of true pity were, Should be reliev'd with what my wants could spare ; For that our Maker has too largely given, Should be return'd in gratitude to Heaven.

الصفحة 5 - I'd readily afford My tongue, my pen, my counsel, or my sword. Lawsuits I'd shun with as much studious care As I would dens where hungry lions are ; And rather put up injuries, than be A plague to him who'd be a plague to me. I value quiet at a price too great, To give for my revenge so dear a rate : For what do we by all our bustle gain, But 'counterfeit delight for real pain?
الصفحة 62 - Strephon, choose a mate From too exalted, or too mean a state; For in both these we may expect to find A creeping spirit, or a haughty mind. Who moves within the middle region, shares The least disquiets, and the smallest cares. Let her extraction with true lustre shine; If something brighter, not too bright for thine: Her education liberal, not great; Neither inferior nor above her state.
الصفحة 61 - Confider, friend ! who all yourbleffings gave, What are recall'd again, and what you have ; ' And do not murmur when you are bereft Of little, if you have abundance left...
الصفحة 129 - O holy, holy, holy, Lord, Eternal God, Almighty One, Be Thou for ever, and be Thou alone, By all thy creatures...
