Стр. 277 - She, while her Lover pants upon her breast, Can mark the figures on an Indian chest; And when she sees her Friend in deep despair, Observes how much a Chintz exceeds Mohair.
Стр. 50 - TWAS at the silent solemn hour, When night and morning meet ; In glided Margaret's grimly ghost, And stood at William's feet. Her face was like an April morn Clad in a wintry cloud ; And clay-cold was her lily hand That held her sable shroud.
Стр. 161 - The love of praise, howe'er conceal'd by art, Reigns, more or less, and glows, in every heart : The proud, to gain it, toils on toils endure ; The modest shun it, but to make it sure.
Стр. 192 - You stars, who these entangled fortunes give, O tell me why It is so hard to die, Yet such a task to live?

Стр. 179 - Mock Epitaph on a Fellow of Trinity College. Here lies a Doctor of Divinity, Who was a Fellow too of Trinity ; He knew as much about Divinity As other fellows do of Trinity. Parson. On Self-Conceit. Hail ! charming power of self-opinion ! For none are slaves in thy dominion: Secure in thee, the mind 's at ease ; The vain have only one to please.
Стр. 159 - With all the charms of labour'd ease ; Through looks and nods with meaning fraught, To teach what she was never taught. By her each latent spring is seen, The workings foul of secret spleen ; The guilt that sculks in fair pretence, Or folly veil'd in specious sense. And much her righteous spirit grieves, When worthlessness the world deceives ; Whether the erring crowd commends Some patriot sway'd by private ends ; Or...
Стр. 107 - Were she not ugly, she would him despise ; Nor would he marry her if he had eyes. To their defects they 're for the match in debt, And, but for faults on both sides, ne'er had met.
