Стр. 31 - The whole strange purpose of their lives, to find Or make an enemy of all mankind! Not one looks backward, onward still he goes, Yet ne'er looks forward further than his nose.
Стр. 53 - The chosen He adores the precious oil, Meekly receives the solemn charm, and while The Priest some blessed nothings mutters o'er, Sucks in the sacred grease at every pore : He seems at once to shed his mortal skin, And feels Divinity transfus'd within.

Стр. 7 - Of pow'r divine, hereditary right, And non-resistance to a tyrant's might : For sure that all should thus for one be curs'd, Is but great nature's edict just revers'd.
Стр. 143 - If splendor charm not , yet avoid the scorn, That treads on lowly stations. Think of some Assiduous booby mounting o'er your head , And thence with saucy grandeur looking down : . Think of (Reflection's stab ! ) the pitying friend "With shoulder shrugged and sorry.
Стр. 126 - And claim blind faith in cuftom's laws. Safer with multitudes to ftray, Than tread alone a fairer way ; To mingle with the erring throng, Than boldly fpeak ten millions wrong. Beware of the...
