Стр. 272 - To view the structure of this little work, A bird's nest. Mark it well, within, without. No tool had he that wrought, no knife to cut, No nail to fix, no bodkin to insert, No glue to join; his little beak was all. And yet how neatly finish'd ! What nice hand, With ev'ry implement and means of art, And twenty years apprenticeship to boot, Could make me such another?

Стр. 83 - One murder made a villain Millions a hero. — Princes were privileged To kill, and numbers sanctified the crime. Ah ! why will kings forget that they are men ! And men that they are brethren? Why delight Inhuman sacrifice ? Why burst the ties Of nature, that should knit their souls together In one soft bond of amity and love...
Стр. 12 - And made ev'n thick-lipp'd musing Melancholy To gather up her face into a smile Before she was aware ? Ah ! sullen now, And dumb as the green turf that covers them ! Where are the mighty thunderbolts of war ? The Roman Csesars and the Grecian chiefs, The boast of story?
Стр. 132 - I would not enter on my list of friends (Though graced with polished manners and fine sense, Yet wanting sensibility) the man Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.
Стр. 73 - And amidst the flashing and feathery foam, The stormy petrel finds a home...
