Стр. 122 - As one who, destined from his friends to part, Regrets his loss, but hopes again erewhile To share their converse and enjoy their smile, And tempers as he may affliction's dart; Thus, loved associates, chiefs of elder art, Teachers of wisdom, who could once beguile My tedious hours, and lighten every toil, I now resign you; nor with fainting heart; For pass a few short years, or days, or hours, And happier seasons may their dawn unfold, And all your sacred fellowship restore: When, freed from earth,...
Стр. 26 - I have therefore one common and authentick- philosophy I learned in the schools, whereby I- -discourse and satisfy the reason of other men; another more reserved, and drawn from experience, whereby I content mine own.
