Pagina 150 - It is to be all made of fantasy, All made of passion, and all made of wishes ; All adoration, duty and observance, All humbleness, all patience, and impatience, All purity, all trial, all observance ; — And so am I for Phebe.

Pagina 83 - That thence the Royal actor borne The tragic scaffold might adorn : While round the armed bands Did clap their bloody hands.

Pagina 614 - The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. I have read all Mrs Radcliffe's works, and most of them with great pleasure. The 'Mysteries of Udolpho,' when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again ; I remember finishing it in two days, my hair standing on end the whole time.
Pagina 112 - Compound for sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to...
Pagina 150 - Sir, I am a true labourer: I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness, glad of other men's good, content with my harm, and the greatest of my pride is to So see my ewes graze and my lambs suck.
