Side 66 - Man's love is of man's life a thing apart, 'Tis woman's whole existence; man may range The court, camp, church, the vessel, and the mart, Sword, gown, gain, glory, offer in exchange Pride, fame, ambition, to fill up his heart, And few there are whom these cannot estrange: Men have all these resources, we but one, To love again, and be again undone.
Side 226 - The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured. Such things become the hatch and brood of time...
Side 35 - And, e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart, distrusting, asks if this be joy. Ye friends to truth, ye statesmen, who survey The rich man's joys increase, the poor's decay, "Tis yours to judge how wide the limits stand Between a splendid and a happy land. Proud swells the tide with loads of freighted ore, And shouting Folly hails them from her shore...

Side 1 - That charm shall grow, while what fatigues the Ring, Flaunts and goes down, an unregarded thing...
Side 123 - For what admir'st thou, what transports thee so ? An outside? fair, no doubt, and worthy well Thy cherishing, thy honouring, and thy love, Not thy subjection : weigh with her thyself ; Then value : oft-times nothing profits more Than self-esteem, grounded on just and right Well managed ; of that skill the more thou know'st, The more she will acknowledge thee her head, And to realities yield all her shows...
Side 324 - Still o'er these scenes my memory wakes, And fondly broods with miser care ; Time but the impression stronger makes, As streams their channels deeper wear.
