Pagina 228 - Muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die. For who to dumb Forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resigned, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing lingering look behind?
Pagina 83 - Nor ease, nor peace, that heart can know, That, like the needle true, Turns at the touch of joy or woe; But, turning, trembles too.

Pagina 316 - Forgiveness to the injured does belong ; But they ne'er pardon who have done the wrong.
Pagina 295 - Tis she ! — but why that bleeding bosom gor'd ? Why dimly gleams the visionary sword ? Oh ever beauteous, ever friendly ! tell, Is it, in Heaven, a crime to love too well ?
