480 SCIENCE-SENSITIVENESS, &c. 3. Delightful task, to rear the tender thought, THOMSON'S Seasons. 4. Oh! ye who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germany, or Spain, I pray ye, flog them upon all occasions; 1. Where glow exalted sense and taste refin'd, HANNAH MORE. 2. Dearly bought, the hidden treasure Finer feelings can bestow! Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure, Thrill the deepest notes of woe. Broken; - the chords were drawn too fast; 3. Upon my lute there is one string My heart is like that string-it tried Too much, and snapt in twain at last. SEPARATION.-(See ABSENCE.) BURNS. SERVILITY-SLAVERY. 1.

And thus they plod in sluggish misery, Rotting from sire to son, and age to age, To a new race of unborn slaves. BYRON. Thine was the sway ere heaven was form'd or earth; POPE. 4.

Fair nature's sweet simplicity, With elegance refin'd. LORD LYTTLETON. Like light from heaven, thy magic glance - 1. What peremptory, eagle-sighted eye Dares look upon the heaven of her brow, That is not blinded by her majesty? 2. To splendour only do we live? Must pomp alone our thoughts employ? Is dearly bought with love and joy. SHAKSPEARE. CARTWRIGHT. 3. Can wealth give happiness? look round and see, What gay distress! what splendid misery! I envy none their pageantry and show, I envy none the gilding of their woe. YOUNG. |
