Сторінка 178 - This truth shall manifest, — A gentle wife Is still the sterling comfort of man's life. To fools a torment, but a lasting boon To those who wisely keep their Honeymoon.
Сторінка 103 - O call not to my mind what you have done ; It sets a debt of that account before me, Which shows me poor, and bankrupt even in hopes.
Сторінка 44 - The mind, when overcharged, droops as it were ; and like the rose suffused with evening dew, seeks, if I may be allowed the expression, support from its kindred branches. I have much to tell, and much to ask of you.
