עמוד 202 - I dwell in groves that gilt are with the sun, Sit on the banks by which clear waters run ; In summers hot, down in a shade I lie, My music is the buzzing of a fly ; I walk in meadows, where grows fresh green grass, In fields, where corn is high, I often pass ; Walk up the hills, where round I prospects see, Some brushy woods, and some all...
עמוד 314 - Occasion'd by four Satyrical Verses on Women- Wits, in the Rape of the Lock': In vain you boast Poetic Names of yore, And Cite those Sappho's we admire no more: Fate doom'd the Fall of ev'ry Female Wit, But doom'd it then when first Ardelia writ.
עמוד 177 - No pedant, yet learned ; no rake-helly gay, Or laughing, because he has nothing to say ; To all my whole sex obliging and free, Yet never be fond of any but me ; In public preserve the decorum that's just, And shew in his eyes he is true to his trust.
עמוד 278 - To noble, serious, melancholy things. And let no human foot, but mine, e'er trace The close recesses of the sacred place : Nor let a bird of cheerful note come near, To whisper out his airy raptures here. Only the pensive songstress of the grove, Let her, by mine, her mournful notes improve ; While drooping winds among the branches sigh, And sluggish waters heavily roll by.
עמוד 225 - And others busy them in vain To study ways of State ; But I, resolved from within, Confirmed from without, In privacy intend to spin My future minutes out. And from this hermitage of mine I banish all wild toys, And nothing that is not divine Shall dare to tempt my joys. There are below but two things good : Friendship and honesty, And only those, of all, I would Ask for felicity. In this retired and humble seat Free from both war and strife, I am not forced to make retreat, But choose to spend my...
עמוד 165 - See TITIANA driving to the park! Hark ! let us follow, 'tis not yet too dark ; In her all beauties of the fpring are feen, Her cheeks are rofy, and her mantle green. PATCH. See TINTQRETTA to the opera goes!
עמוד 292 - And dullness, born with him, would lay Upon thy accidental sway; Because, sometimes, thou dost presume Into the ablest heads to come: That, often, men of thoughts refin'd...
עמוד 315 - Who would like you have writ, Had he in London town been bred, And polished, too, his wit ; But he, poor soul, thought all was well, And great should be his fame, When he had left his wife in hell, And birds and beasts could tame. Yet...
עמוד 163 - No, I'm unhappy, you are in the right, 'Tis you they favour, and 'tis me they flight. Yet I could tell, but that I hate to boaft, A club of ladies where 'tis me they toaft. PATCH.
עמוד 172 - GALEN, the grave; officious SQUIRT was there, ' With fruitlefs grief and unavailing care : * MACHAON too, the great MACHAON, known * By his red cloak and his fuperior frown ;
