Pàgina 294 - Cut down and wither'd in an hour.] 6 [Our age to seventy years is set ; How short the term! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan than live.
Pàgina 81 - 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.
Pàgina 268 - Taller or stronger than the weeds they shade? Or ask of yonder argent fields above, Why Jove's satellites are less than Jove?
Pàgina 38 - STATELY stept he east the wa', And stately stept he west, Full seventy years he now had seen, Wi' scarce seven years of rest. He liv'd when Britons breach of faith Wrought Scotland mickle wae : And ay his sword tauld to their cost, He was their deadlye fae.
Pàgina 108 - Shall we receive good at the hand of the Lord, and shall we not receive evil?
Pàgina 136 - Mrs. Hemans, for whom I have long felt something very like affection. She had two fine boys with her, the objects, visibly, of very great tenderness, who seem equally attached to her. She is entirely feminine, and her language has a charm like that of her verse— the same ease and peculiar grace, with more vivacity.

Pàgina 34 - I have met with Basil Hall, and was never more surprised ; I looked for a bold weather-beaten tar, but I found a gentleman, with a soft voice and soft manners, pouring out smalltalk in half whispers to ladies ; I believe, however, he is very estimable.
Pàgina 314 - Forgiveness to the injured does belong ; But they ne'er pardon who have done the wrong.
Pàgina 293 - 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 ? To bear too tender or too firm a heart. To act a lover's or a Roman's part ? Is there no bright reversion in the sky For those who greatly think, or bravely die...
Pàgina 13 - What a being must Cowper have been, that could excite such a pure and fervent attachment ; and how much beyond the conception of ordinary minds was the tenderness, the constancy, the fortitude, and, above all, the faith of this blessed woman ! Lady Hesketh, the good, the generous, and the amiable, tried to fill her place, but sank under it. Miss Fanshawe, who was with Lady H. in the last months of her life, told me that she never recovered the miserable winter she spent with her beloved cousin.
