Сторінка 154 - That dare be covetous and proud : In golden bondage let them wait, And barter happiness for state. But oh ! my Celia, when thy swain Desires to see a court again, May...
Сторінка 144 - Tis hard to say if greater want of skill Appear in writing or in judging ill ; But of the two less dangerous is th' offence To tire our patience than mislead our sense : Some few in that, but numbers err in this; Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss ; A fool might once himself alone expose ; Now one in verse makes many more in prose.
Сторінка 264 - Big with false hopes, and eager after fame ; Till looking round me, ere the race began, Madmen, and giddy fools, were all that ran ; Reclaim'd betimes, I from the lists retire, And thank the gods, who my retreat inspire.
