Стр. 124 - See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day.
Стр. 155 - Know Nature's children all divide her care ; The fur that warms a monarch warm'da bear. While man exclaims,
Стр. 76 - At thirty man suspects himself a fool ; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan ; At fifty chides his infamous delay, Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; In all the magnanimity of thought Resolves and re-resolves; then dies the same.

Стр. 99 - Painful preeminence ! yourself to view Above life's weakness, and its comforts too. Bring then these blessings to a strict account ; Make fair deductions ; see to what they 'mount...
Стр. 31 - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair; thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable, who sitt'st above these heavens, To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.
