Стр. 280 - Let not this weak, unknowing hand Presume thy bolts to throw, And deal damnation round the land On each I judge thy foe. If I am right, thy grace impart, Still in the right to stay ; If I am wrong, oh teach my heart To find that better way.
Стр. 53 - Whose powers shed round him in the common strife, Or mild concerns of ordinary life, A constant influence, a peculiar grace; But who, if he be called upon to face Some awful moment to which Heaven has joined Great issues, good or bad for human kind, Is happy as a Lover; and attired With sudden brightness, like a Man inspired...
Стр. 50 - When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

Стр. 53 - Who, if he rise to station of command, Rises by open means; and there will stand On honourable terms, or else retire, And in himself possess his own desire: Who comprehends his trust, and to the same, Keeps faithful with a singleness of aim...
Стр. 328 - God was thy ransom, thy guardian and guide ; He gave thee, he took thee, and he will restore thee, And death has no sting, for the Saviour has died...
Стр. 53 - He who though thus endued as with a sense And faculty for storm and turbulence, Is yet a soul whose master-bias leans To home-felt pleasures and to gentle scenes ; Sweet images! which, wheresoe'er he be, Are at his heart; and such fidelity It is his darling passion to approve ; More brave for this, that he hath much to love...
