154 페이지 - If he would add a line or two to say it came into his hands by accident, I should like it better.

If Dodsley do not do this immediately, he may as well let it alone.
75 페이지 - For this reason he kept his pieces very long in his hands, while he considered and reconsidered them. The only poems which can be supposed to have been written with such regard to the times as might hasten their publication were the two satires of Thirty-eight; of which Dodsley told me that they were brought to him by the author, that they might be fairly copied.

Immortal Rich! how calm he sits at ease 'Mid snows of paper, and fierce hail of pease; And proud his Mistress' orders to perform, Rides in the whirlwind, and directs the storm.
306 페이지 - Cries Sylvia to a reverend dean What reason can be given, Since marriage is a holy thing, That there are none in heaven ? " ' There are no women,' he replied, She quick returns the jest, ' Women there are, but I'm afraid They cannot find a priest.
