But when I speak — thou dost not say What thou ne'er left'st unsaid ; And now I feel, as well I may, Sweet Mary ! thou art dead ! If thou wouldst stay, e'en as thou art, All cold and all serene — I still might press thy silent heart, And where thy smiles have been.

Side 230 - Depend upon it, that you will find the same competitions, the same jealousies, the same Arts and Cabals, the same emulations of interest and of Fame, and the same Agitations and passions here that you have experienced in Italy; and if they have the same effect on your Temper, they will have just the same Effects on your Interest; and be your merit what it will, you will never be employd to paint a picture.
Side 278 - ... Incorrupta, precor, maneas, atque integra, neu te Aura regat populi, neu novitatis amor : Stet quoque prisca domus (neque enim manus impia tangat) ; Floreat in mediis intemerata minis ; Det Patribus Patres, Populoque det inclyta Gives, Eloquiumque foro, Judiciisque decus, Conciliisque animos, magnaeque det ordine genti Immortalem alta cum pietate fidem : Floreat, intacta per postera secula fama, Cura diu patriae, cura paterna Dei.
