v. oldal - Heav'n the grateful liberty would give, That I might choose my method how to live, And all those hours propitious Fate should lend, In blissful ease and satisfaction spend, Near some fair town I'd have a private seat, Built uniform ; not little, nor too great : Better, if on a rising ground it stood ; On this side fields, on that a neighb'ring wood. It should, within, no other things contain, But what were useful, necessary, plain : Methinks 'tis nauseous, and I'd ne'er endure The needless pomp of...
viii. oldal - Nor busy meddlers with intrigues of state : Strangers to slander, and sworn foes to spite ; Not quarrelsome, but stout enough to fight ; "Loyal, and pious, friends to Caesar ; true As dying martyrs, to their Maker too.
vi. oldal - I'd always take my morning exercise : For sure no minutes bring us more content, Than those in pleasing, useful studies spent. I'd have a clear and competent estate, That I might live genteelly, but not great : As much as I could moderately spend ; A little more, sometimes t
x. oldal - I'd shun, with as much studious care, As I would dens where hungry lions are; And rather put up injuries, than be A plague to him, who'd be a plague to me. I value quiet at a price too great, To give for my revenge so dear a rate: For what do we by all our bustle gain, But counterfeit delight for real pain?
ix. oldal - Give life an edge so keen, no surly care Would venture to assault my soul, or dare, Near my retreat, to hide one secret snare. But so divine, so noble a repast I'd seldom, and with moderation, taste : For highest cordials all their virtue lose, By a too frequent and too bold a use ; And what would cheer the spirits in distress, Ruins our health, when taken to excess.
viii. oldal - A soul she should have for great actions fit ; Prudence and wisdom to direct her wit : Courage to look bold danger in the face ; No fear, but only to be proud, or base ; Quick to advise, by an emergence prest, To give good counsel, or to take the best. I'd have th...
80. oldal - See! see, she wakes — Sabina wakes! And now the sun begins to rise: Less glorious is the morn, that breaks From his bright beams, than her fair eyes. With light united day they give; But different fates ere night fulfil: How many by his warmth will live! How many will her coldness kill!
vi. oldal - Ovid too, Who all the turns of love's soft passion knew : He that with judgment reads his charming lines, In which strong art with stronger nature joins, Must grant his fancy does the best excel; His thoughts so tender, and express'd so well : With all those moderns, men of steady sense, Esteem'd for learning and for eloquence.
143. oldal - Strephon, choose a mate, From too exalted, or too mean a state ; For in both these we may expect to find A creeping spirit, or a haughty mind. Who moves within the middle region, shares The least disquiets, and the smallest cares.
