Strana 161 - He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, Who dares not put it to the touch, To gain or lose it all.
Strana 239 - As it slipped through their jaws, when their edge grew dull, As they lazily mumbled the bones of the dead, When they scarce could rise from the spot where they fed ; So well had they broken a lingering fast With those who had fallen for that night's repast.
Strana 233 - Teaching we learn ; and giving we retain The births of intellect; when dumb, forgot. Speech ventilates our intellectual fire; Speech burnishes our mental magazine; Brightens for ornament, and whets for use.
Strana 175 - I endeavoured to approach it the farther it seemed to recede, till at last it vanished altogether, " like the baseless fabric of a vision, leaving not a wreck behind.
