Side 282 - The powers of man; we feel within ourselves His energy divine; he tells the heart, He meant, he made us to behold and love What he beholds and loves, the general orb Of life and being; to be great like him, Beneficent and active.
Side 327 - ... wherefore, with a rash impetuous aim, Seek ye those flowery joys with which the hand Of lavish Fancy paints each flattering scene Where Beauty seems to dwell, nor once inquire Where is the sanction of eternal truth, Or where the seal of undeceitful good, To save your search from folly !

Side 30 - But tofles thro' the midnight made, Of death, of life, alike afraid ; For ever fled to fhady cell, Where Temperance, where the Mufes dwell ; Thou oft art feen, at early dawn, Slow-pacing o'er the breezy lawn : Or on the brow...
