Pagina 222 - A daring pilot in extremity, Pleased with the danger, when the waves went high, He sought the storms; but, for a calm unfit, Would steer too nigh the sands to boast his wit. * Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide ; JOHN DRYDEN Else, why should he, with wealth and honour blest, Refuse his age the needful hours of rest?

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty...
Pagina 217 - Michal, of royal blood, the crown did wear, A soil ungrateful to the tiller's care : Not so the rest ; for several mothers bore To god-like David several sons before : But since like slaves his bed they did ascend, No true succession could their seed attend.
Pagina 275 - Of mimic'd statesmen and their merry king. No wit to flatter left of all his store! No fool to laugh at, which he valued more. There, victor of his health, of fortune, friends, And fame, this lord of useless thousands ends.
Pagina 217 - Promiscuous use of concubine and bride ; Then Israel's monarch after heaven's own heart, His vigorous warmth did variously impart To wives and slaves ; and wide as his command, Scatter'd his Maker's image through the land.
