Halaman 30 - The chamber where the good man meets his fate, Is privileg'd beyond the common walk Of virtuous life, quite in the verge of heaven. Fly, ye profane ! If not, draw near with awe, Receive the blefling, and adore the chance,
Halaman 15 - both pain us, what can pleafe ? That which the Deity to pleafe ordain'd, Time us'd. The man who confecrates his hours 185 By vigorous effort, and an honeft aim, At once he draws the fting of life and death; He walks 'with Nature; and her paths are peace. Our error's
Halaman 52 - The deep damp vault, the darknefs, and the worm; Thefe are the bugbears of a winter's eve, The terrors of the living, not the dead. Imagination's fool, and error's wretch, Man makes a death, .which nature never made ; 15 Then on the point of his own fancy

Halaman 35 - And make diftrefs, diftraftion. Oh Philander! What was thy fate ? A double fate to me ; Portent, and pain ! a menace, and a blow!
