Page 5750 - How charming is divine philosophy ! Not harsh, and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns.

Page 6176 - Here shift the scene, to represent How those I love, my death lament. Poor Pope will grieve a month; and Gay A week ; and Arbuthnot a day. St John himself will scarce forbear, To bite his pen, and drop a tear. The rest will give a shrug and cry I'm sorry; but we all must die.
Page 5708 - O la ! what noise is that ? There he is again. Well, to be certain, though I know there is nothing at all in it, I am glad I am not down yonder, where those men are.
Page 5852 - ... heart grown cauld to me When we came in by Glasgow town We were a comely sight to see ; My Love was clad in the black velvet, And I myself in cramasie. But had I wist, before I kist...
Page 6075 - He studieth his scholars' natures as carefully as they their books; and ranks their dispositions into several forms.
