Стр. 144 - I exclaimed, is the pitiless part Some act by the delicate mind, Regardless of wringing and breaking a heart Already to sorrow resigned. This elegant rose, had I shaken it less, Might have bloomed with its owner awhile ; And the tear that is wiped with a little address, May be followed perhaps by a smile.
Стр. 274 - Oh ! blest are the lovers and friends who shall live The days of thy glory to see ; But the next dearest blessing that Heaven can give Is the pride of thus dying for thee ! THE HARP THAT ONCE THROUGH TARA'S HALLS.
Стр. 206 - Such freedom crowns it at an inn. I fly from pomp, I fly from plate, I fly from falsehood's specious grin! Freedom I love, and form I hate, And choose my lodgings at an inn.
Стр. 200 - Surrounded by foreign cooks, confectioners, and ñddlers, he travels all night, and arrives at day-break. His effeminate form sinks for a few hours on down ; and he rises in the afternoon.
