Strana 59 - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty ! thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair: thyself how wondrous then, Unspeakable ! who sitt'st above these heavens To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.
Strana 175 - Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate, All but the page prescribed, their present state: From brutes what men, from men what spirits know: Or who could suffer being here below? The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood.
Strana 193 - For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD : to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the LORD.
Strana 42 - ... Methodism ; whom he also calls a fellow of Pembroke college in Oxford. But as Mr. Whitfield disclaims all worldly grandeur; and with great humility assures us, that (like the blessed Founder of our religion) he was born in an inn : ' so, like him, ( I am persuaded) he will confess, 'that he came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.
Strana 143 - Baronet, that fell in love with a young lady of small fortune (at some public place) for her beautiful brown locks. He married her on a sudden, but was greatly disappointed upon seeing her wig or tete the next morning thrown carelessly upon her toilette; and her Ladyship appearing at breakfast in very bright red hair ; which was a colour the old gentleman happened to have a particular aversion to.
Strana 204 - How remote from probability is it, that a grave divine, who is continually inveighing against the vices and follies of the age, should have a pack of soiled cards in his pocket, ready for his engagements of business or pleasure ? or that a venerable counsellor, who is continually surrounded with briefs, leases, or acts of parliament, should prefer a trifling card in transacting business with his...
Strana 217 - ... to the foolish ambition of being seen in, what is called, good company. In short, nothing can be more trifling than the life of a Lady, nor more insipid than that of a Gentleman, at Bath : the one is a constant series of flirting and gadding about ; the other of sauntering from place to place, without any scheme or pursuit. Scandal or fashions engross the conversation of the former; the news of the day, the price of fish, the history of the preceding night at the tavern, or savoury anticipations...
Strana 178 - ... foreigners of outlandish antecedents as qualified critics of England. In the course of his wanderings, Wildgoose, the fanatic Methodist, falls in with one Graham, grotesque philosopher, who is the author of an unpublished manuscript. Its title satirizes the progeny of The Turkish Spy: Literae Hottentoticae, or, Letters from a beautiful young Hottentot to her Friends at the Cape.
Strana 167 - Thorn—or any romantic accounts of the Holy Land, and the like, he had thought it rather a dry discourse, and beginning to spit sixpences, as his saying was, he gave hints to Mr. Wildgoose to stop at the first public-house they should come to. But there was none till they came to Tetbury, where they went into a second-rate inn, for fear of meeting with the same insults which they had received at the Bell at Gloucester.
Strana 72 - Whether it were any sin, to call for a pint of ale, at sich a time as this ? So with Wildgoose's consent, they went to one of the booths, and were refreshing themselves with the aforesaid potation, when the company began to divide; and proclamation was made, that a holland shift, which was adorned with ribbands, and displayed on a pole, was going to be run for, and six young women began to exhibit themselves before the whole assembly, in a dress hardly reconcileable to the rules of decency.
