Pàgina 250 - him for her own. Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere; Heaven did a recompense as largely send. He gave to mis'ry all he had—a tear; He gain'd from heaven ('twas all he wish'd)— a friend. . . No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties
Pàgina 390 - not enough no harshness gives ofience ; The sound must seem an echo to the sense. Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows, And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows ; But when loud surges lash the sounding shore, The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar.
