Strana 128 - Happy the man - and happy he alone He who can call today his own, He who, secure within, can say 'Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today: Be fair or foul or rain or shine, The joys I have possessed in spite of Fate are mine: Not Heaven itself upon the Past has power, But what has been has been, and I have had my hour.

Strana 73 - Behold the labourer of the glebe, who toils In dust, in rain, in cold and sultry skies ! Save but the grain from mildews and the flood, Nought anxious he what sickly stars ascend.
