DOMINION.-Milton. Here we may reign secure; and, [in my choice, | To reign is worth ambition [though in hell: Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. EMOTIONS. The emotions pervade every operation of the mind, as the life-blood circulates through the body: within us and without, in the corporeal world and in the spiritual, in the past, the present, and the future, there is no object of thought which they do not touch; there are few, very few, which they do not colour and transmute. 3 3 m 28 3 4 e ENERGETIC EFFORT.-Shakespeare. str I saw him beat the surges under him, And ride upon their backs; he trod the water, [Whose enmity he flung aside, | and breasted 4 The surge most swollen that met him his bold head pr "Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared Himself with his good arms, in lusty strokes, To the shore, [that [o'er his wave-borne basis | bowed, ENVY.-Byron. He who ascends to mountain-tops shall find The loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds and snow: He who surpasses or subdues mankind, Must look down on the hate of those below. Though high above, | the sun of glory glow, And [far beneath the earth and ocean spread, im Round him are icy rocks, and loudly blow sym Contending tempests on his naked head; And thus reward the toils which to those summits led. 3 e EVIL CONSCIENCE. str Dryden. Here, here it lies: a lump...of lead, | by day; | ་ sad And, [in my short, distracted nightly slumbers | H. v The hag that rides my dreams. 2 tr 49 EXASPERATION.- Baillie.

Young. 3 m All soldiers, valour, all divines have grace, ch As maids of honour, beauty, by their place. EXPERIENCE.— Young. 'Tis greatly wise to talk with our past hours; 1 s And ask them...what report they brought to heaven; And how they might have borne... more welcome news. 3 m Their answers form what men Experience call; 2 If Wisdom's friend, her best, if not, worst foe. FAITH. Though faith be above reason, yet is there a reason to be given of our faith. He is a fool who believes he neither knows what nor why. FAME.-Young. With fame [in just proportion | envy grows; 3 2 The man that makes a character makes foes. 4 FIDELITY.—Maturin. e 28 f Yea, time hath power upon my hopeless love; And what a power, I'll tell thee: A power to change the pulses of the heart a Exp To one dull throb, of ceaseless agony- pr To hush the sigh on the resigned lip e And lock it in the heart,-freeze the hot tear, 4 m And bid it on the eyelid hang... for ever Such power hath time o'er me. 4 FORTITUDE.-. The torture! you have put me there, already, 3 Daily [since I was Doge! | but [if you will 4 9 Add the corporeal rack | you may: these limbs 4 e Will yield with age to crushing iron, but 5 str There's that within my heart shall strain your engines.

High stations, tumult, [but not bliss | create: Heads bow, knees bend, eyes watch. [around a throne, | And hands obey 5 e 3 ch - our hearts are still our own. ... 3 Ex In such a world, [so thorny, and where none It seems the part of wisdom, and no sin > Against the law of love, to measure lots 2 With less distinguished than ourselves, that thus We may, with patience, bear our moderate ills, HUMAN WRETCHEDNESS.- Southey. 3 As her bier Went to the grave, a lark sprang up aloft. So full of joy, that to the mourner's ear More mournfully than dirge or passing bell 2 s His joyful carol came, and made us feel That [of the multitude of beings, | none...
