Popular passages
Page 146 - I'll example you with thievery: The sun's a thief, and with his great attraction Robs the vast sea: the moon's an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun: The sea's a thief, whose liquid surge resolves The moon into salt tears: the earth's a thief, That feeds and breeds by a composture stolen From general excrement: each thing's a thief; The laws, your curb and whip, in their rough power Have uncheck'd theft.
Page 378 - tis He alone Decidedly can try us, He knows each chord its various tone, Each spring its various bias : Then at the balance let's be mute, We never can adjust it; What's done we partly may compute, But know not what's resisted.
Page 495 - This is my own, my native land"? Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned, From wandering on a foreign strand?

Not so when, held within their proper bounds, And guiltless of offence, they range the air, Or take their- pastime in the spacious field ; There they are privileged : and he that hunts Or harms them there, is guilty of a wrong, Disturbs th' economy of Nature's realm, Who, when she form'd, design'd them an abode.
Page 7 - ... respectable baker drive through the city from the west end of the town, and let him cast an eye on the battlements of Northumberland House, has his little muffin-faced son the smallest chance of getting in among the Percies, enjoying a share of their luxury and splendour, and of chasing the duer with hound and horn upon the Cheviot Hills?
Page 512 - I sat alone in my cottage, The midnight needle plying ; I feared for my child, for the rush's light In the socket now was dying ; There came a hand to my lonely latch, Like the wind at midnight moaning ; I knelt to pray, but rose again, For I heard my little boy groaning. I...
