Pagina 98 - As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow, While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below, So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile, Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while.
Pagina 33 - The Princess Henrietta is very pretty, but much below my expectation; and her dressing of herself with her hair frized short up to her ears, did make her seem so much the less to me. But my wife standing near her with two or three black patches on, and well dressed, did seem to me much handsomer than she.

Pagina 302 - And with a gen'ral's love of conquest glows; Proudly he marches on, and void of fear Laughs at the shaking of the British spear : Vain insolence ! with native freedom brave The meanest Briton scorns the highest slave...
Pagina 31 - If Judith, marching with the general's head, Can give us passion when her story's read, What may the living do, which brought away Though a less bloody, yet a nobler prey ; Who, from our flaming Troy, with a bold hand, Snatched her fair charge, the princess, like a brand ? A brand ! preserved to warm some prince's heart, And make whole kingdoms take her brother's part.
Pagina 32 - Her princely burthen to the Gallic shore. Born in the storms of war, this royal fair, Produced like lightning in tempestuous air, Though now she flies her native isle (less kind, Less safe for her than either sea or wind!) Shall, when the blossom of her beauty's blown, See her great brother on the British throne; Where peace shall smile, and no dispute arise, But which rules most, his sceptre, or her eyes.
Pagina 272 - Prepar'd to leap o'er sticks, or bind them. To make the bundle strong and safe, Great Ormond, lend thy general's staff: And, if the crosier could be cramm'd in, A fig for Lechmere, King, and Hambden ! You'll then defy the strongest whig With both his hands to bend a twig; Though with united strength they all pull. From Somers, down to Craggs and Walpole.
Pagina 243 - ... but your happiness will depend upon your submission to God, and the care which you take to relieve your people. For this reason you must avoid war as much as possible. It is the ruin of the people. Do not follow the bad example which I have set you. I have undertaken war too lightly, and have continued it from vanity. Do not imitate me, but be a pacific prince, and let your chief occupation be to relieve your subjects.

Pagina 349 - The cloud-capt towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself; * Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like the baseless fabric of a vision, Leave not a wreck behind.
