Halaman 91 - The pen, flowing with love, or dipped black in hate, Or tipped with delicate courtesies, or harshly edged with censure, Hath quickened more good than the sun, more evil than the sword, More joy than woman's smile, more woe than frowning fortune ; And shouldst thou ask my judgment of that which hath most profit in the world, For answer take thou this, The prudent penning of a letter.
Halaman 117 - Or he that changeth often, can he know its truth ? Longing for another's happiness, yet often destroying its own ; Chaste, and looking up to God, as the fountain of tenderness and joy ; Quiet, yet flowing deep, as the Rhine among rivers ; Lasting, and knowing not change — it walketh with Truth and Sincerity. Love : — what a volume in a word, an ocean in a tear...

Thou knowest not his good will: — be thy prayer then submissive thereunto; and leave thy petition to his mercy, assured that He will deal well with thee.
Halaman 279 - ... duritiem coepere suumque rigorem, mollirique mora, mollitaque ducere formam. mox, ubi creverunt, naturaque mitior illis contigit, ut quaedam, sic non manifesta, videri forma potest hominis, sed uti de marmore coepto, 405 non exacta satis, rudibusque simillima signis.
Halaman 117 - And estimate the recklessness of license as the right attribute of liberty, — But with the world, thou friend and scholar, stain not this pure name ; Nor suffer the majesty of Love to be likened to the meanness of desire : For Love is no more such, than seraphs' hymns are discord, And such is no more Love, than ^Etna's breath is summer.
