Strana 64 - When death shakes off the slave's body, the chain falls with it, and the man, disenthralled at last, goes where the wicked cease from troubling, where the weary are at rest...
Strana 38 - Must call thee so, the rich affection's store That fed our hopes lies now exhaust and spent, Like sums of treasure unto bankrupts lent. We that did nothing study but the way To love each other, with which thoughts the day Rose with delight to us, and with them set, Must learn the hateful art how to forget.
Strana 75 - But yet the spirit of Job was in a better tune : Shall we (saith he) take good at God's hands, and not be content to take evil also?

Strana 149 - Nae mair of that ! Dear Jenny, to be free, There's some men constanter in love than we ; Nor is the ferly great, when nature kind Has blest them...
Strana 187 - In that sense, there is more joy in heaven over one repentant sinner than over ninety-nine just men — if the latter are just only because they are too feeble ever to have sinned.
Strana 184 - For I have drank the cup of bitterness, And having drank therein of heavenly grace, I must not put away the cup of shame. * Thus as she spake she falter'd at the close, And in that dying fall her voice sent forth Somewhat of its original sweetness. Thou ! . . Thou self-abased ! exclaim'd the astonish'd King;.. Thou self-condemn'd ! . . The cup of shame...
