Стр. 206 - O, no; he knew his own profession; He took his hat off, with respect, And would no gentle means neglect; But finding it was all in vain For him admittance to obtain, Thought it were best, let come what will, To gain an entry by his skill. So while St. Peter stood aside To let the door be open'd wide, He skimm'd his hat with all his strength Within the gates, to no small length: St. Peter star'd; the lawyer asked him, 'Only to fetch his hat,' and pass'd him, But when he reach'd the jack he'd thrown.
Стр. 235 - Whatever mitigates the woes, or increases the happiness of others, this is my criterion of goodness ; and whatever injures society at large, or any individual in it, this is my measure of iniquity.
Стр. 196 - Eternal ! have fra>er' mercy upon me, because I am passing away : O Infinite ! because I am but a speck : O Most Mighty ! because I am weak : O Source of Light ! because I draw nigh to the grave : O Omniscient ! because I am in darkness : O All-bounteous ! because I am poor : O All-sufficient ! because I am nothing.
