149. oldal - All discord, harmony not understood ; All partial evil, universal good : And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is clear, WHATEVER is, is RIGHT.
149. oldal - Cease then, nor order imperfection name : Our proper bliss depends on what we blame. Know thy own point : This kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heaven bestows on thee.
181. oldal - I myself have seen the ungodly in great power : and flourishing like a green bay-tree. I went by, and lo, he was gone : I sought him, but his place could no where be found.
