Strana 203 - Here will I hold. If there's a Power above us, — And that there is, all Nature cries aloud Through all her works, — He must delight in virtue; And that which He delights in must be happy.
Strana 232 - So powerful is the current of the poet's imagination that the mind which once ventures within it is hurried irresistibly along. On the seeming improbability of Lear's conduct it may be observed that he is represented according to histories at that time vulgarly received as true. And perhaps, if we turn our thoughts upon the barbarity and ignorance of the age to which this story is referred, it will appear not so unlikely as while we estimate Lear's manners by our own.

Strana 232 - There is no scene which does not contribute to the aggravation of the distress or conduct of the action, and scarce a line which does not conduce to the progress of the scene. So powerful is the current of the poet's imagination, that the mind which once ventures within it, is hurried irresistibly along.

Strana 189 - Tantas idas Y venidas, Tantas vueltas Y revueltas, Quiero, amiga, Que me diga, ¿ Son de alguna utilidad ? Yo me afano; Mas no en vano. Sé mi oficio; Y en servicio De mi Dueño Tengo empeño De lucir mi habilidad.
Strana 481 - They occupy little huts, raifed among the ruins of the monaftery ; and feem to have no employment, but begging : as if a place, once devoted to indolence, could never again become the feat of induftry.
Strana 88 - In fine, the tribute you demand from the Hindoos is repugnant to justice ; it is equally foreign from good policy, as it must impoverish the country : moreover, it is an innovation and an infringement of the laws of Hindostan.
Strana 481 - ... we excufe, perhaps we approve, the neatnefs that is introduced within : it may add to the beauty of the fcene ; to its novelty it undoubtedly does.
