Halaman 90 - Offending race of human kind, By nature, reason, learning, blind ; You who, through frailty, stepp'd aside ; And you, who never fell from pride : You who in different sects were shamm'd, And come to see each other damn'd ; (So some folk told you, but they knew No more of Jove's designs than you ;) — The world's mad business now is o'er, And I resent these pranks no more. — I to such blockheads set my wit ! I damn such fools ! — -Go, go, you're bit.

Halaman 19 - ... circumstances, each of which is productive of pleasure. In the first place, it removes that uneasiness which a true spirit feels from dependence and obligation. It affords pleasure to the creditor, and therefore gratifies our social affection : It promotes that future confidence, which is so very interesting to an honest mind : It opens a prospect of being readily supplied with what we want on future occasions : It leaves a consciousness of our own virtue : and it is a measure we know to be right,...

Halaman 39 - He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument.
Halaman 14 - What had the Gods to do with me or mine? Did I molest your heaven ? Why should you then make Maximin your foe Who paid you tribute, which he need not do ? Your altars I with smoke of gums did crown, For which you...
Halaman 95 - Shakspeare, but falling on an age still more Hottentot, was stifled in those gross and barbarous productions, tragi-comedies. It turned to tuneful nonsense in the ' Mourning Bride,' grew stark mad in Lee ; whose cloak, a little the worse for wear, fell on Young ; yet in both was still a poet's cloak. It recovered its senses in Hughes and Fenton, who were afraid it should relapse, and accordingly kept it down with a timid, but amiable, hand ; and then it languished.
