Página 203 - ON A GIRDLE THAT which her slender waist confined Shall now my joyful temples bind : No monarch but would give his crown His arms might do what this has done. It was my Heaven's extremest sphere, The pale which held that lovely deer : My joy, my grief, my hope, my love Did all within this circle move. A narrow compass ! and yet there Dwelt all that's good, and all that's fair : Give me but what this ribband bound, Take all the rest the Sun goes round.
Página 227 - Nil admirari prope res est una, Numici, solaque quae possit facere et servare beatum.
Página 167 - Humanity inclines, religion requires, and our moral duties oblige us, as far as we are able, to relieve the distresses and miseries of our fellow-creatures ; but this is not all, for a true heart-felt benevolence and tenderness will prompt us to contribute what we can to their ease, their amusement, and their pleasure, as far as innocently we may.

Página xliv - I wish you, unless he gives you at the same time at least an equal portion of judgment to keep it in good order, wear it, like your sword, in the scabbard, and do not brandish it to the terror of the whole company.
Página 32 - Nam ceterae neque temporum sunt, neque aetatum omnium, neque locorum : haec studia adolescentiam alunt, senectutem oblectant ; secundas res ornant, adversis perfugium ac solatium praebent ; delectant domi, non impediunt foris ; pernoctant nobiscum, peregrinantur, rusticantur.
Página 140 - Flavia the least and slightest toy Can with resistless art employ. This Fan in meaner hands would prove An engine of small force in love ; But she, with such an air and mien, Not to be told or safely seen, Directs its wanton motions so, That it wounds more than Cupid's bow ; Gives coolness to the matchless dame, To every other breast a flame.
Página 191 - ... knew a man who had a story about a gun, which he thought a good one, and that he told it very well. He tried all means in the world to turn the conversation upon guns ; but, if he failed in his attempt, he started in his chair, and said he heard a gun fired; but when the company assured him they heard no such thing, he answered, perhaps then I was mistaken ; but, however, since we are talking of guns — and then told his story, to the great indignation of the company.
