OR, PASSION PAST, AND OTHER POEMS; FROM THE CYMRIC AND OTHER SOURCES. "Inde, ubi "Morbidus aër."- Lucr. vi. 1095. pectus complerat, et ipsum "Who loves, raves-'tis youth's frenzy." "And spake of passions, but of passion past." "Pistol. Nym, thou hast spoke the right; His heart is fracted and corroborate." LONDON SAUNDERS AND OTLEY CONDUIT STREET HANOVER SQUARE. 1854. 280.5.39. "LET us do right, and whether happiness come or unhappiness is no very mighty matter. If it come, life will be sweet; if it do not come, life will be bitter-bitter, not sweet, and yet to be borne. On such a theory alone is the government of this world intelligibly just. The well-being of our souls depends only on what we are, and nobleness of character is nothing else but steady love of good, and steady scorn of evil. The government of the world is a problem while the desire of selfish enjoyment survives. Only to those who have the heart to say, we can do without that, it is not what we ask or desire, is there no secret. Man will have what he deserves, and will find what is really best for him, exactly as he honestly seeks for it."Westminster Review, Oct. 1853, p. 440. |
