Էջ 134 - Spring through all her foliage shrinks. Joyless and dead, a wide-dejected waste. For oft, engender'd by the hazy north. Myriads on myriads, insect armies waft Keen in the poison'd breeze ; and wasteful eat. Through buds and bark, into the blacken'd core Their eager way. A feeble race ! yet oft The sacred sons of vengeance ! on whose course Corrosive famine waits, and kills the year.
Էջ 424 - The heavens, and the firmament, show the wisdom, and the glory of the Workman. Astronomers, who are best skilled in the symmetry of systems, can find nothing there that they can alter for the better. God made these perfect, because no subordinate being could correct their defects. When, therefore, we survey nature on this side, nothing can be more splendid, more correct, or amazing. We there behold a Deity residing in the midst of a universe, infinitely extended every way, animating all, and cheering...
Էջ 425 - The works of art are exerted with interrupted force ; and their noisy progress discovers the obstructions they receive ; but the earth, with a silent, steady rotation, successively presents every part of its bosom to the sun ; at once imbibing nourishment and light from that parent of vegetation and fertility.
Էջ 426 - ... other. This habitation, though provided with all the conveniences of air, pasturage, and water, is but a desert place, without human cultivation. The lowest animal finds more conveniences in the wilds of nature than he who boasts himself their lord. The whirlwind, the inundation, and all the asperities of the air, are peculiarly terrible to man , who knows their consequences, and at a distance, dreads their approach. The earth it self, where human art has not pervaded, puts on л frightful gloomy...
Էջ 427 - ... man the earth is an abode of desolation, where his shelter is insufficient, and his food precarious. A world thus furnished with advantages on one side, and inconveniences on the other, is the proper abode of reason, is the fittest to exercise the industry of a free and a thinking creature. These evils, which art can remedy, and prescience...
Էջ 260 - In using the ointment, begin at the head of the sheep, and, proceeding from between the ears along the back to the end of the tail, the wool is to be divided...
Էջ 422 - Deity resides ; and this earth as one of its apartments. In this, all the meaner races of animated nature mechanically obey him ; and stand ready to execute his commands, without hesitation. Man alone is found refractory ; he is the only being endued with a power of contradicting these mandates. The Deity was pleased to exert superior power in creating him a superior being ; a being endued with a choice of good and evil ; and capable, in some measure, of co-operating with his own intentions. Man,...
Էջ 260 - ... an instance of a sheep suffering any injury from the application. In a few days the blotches dry up, the itching...
Էջ 426 - Such are the delights of the habitation that has been assigned to man ; without any one of these, he must have been wretched ; and none of these could his own industry have supplied. But while...
Էջ 181 - I have been particular in defcribing thefe methods of folding, as they are not common in any place, and in others entirely unknown, and to Gentlemen who have parks and large plantations which afford abundance of leaves, this hint may be the more deferving attention. Upon the Norfolk farm, the land...
