Seite 123 - Prostrate my contrite heart I rend, My God, my Father, and my Friend, Do not forsake me in my end.
Seite 83 - Immodest words admit of no defence ; For want of decency is want of sense.

Seite 18 - Like transitory dreams given o'er, Whose images are kept in store By memory alone. The time that is to come is not; How can it then be mine? The present moment's all my lot; And that, as fast as it is got, Phillis, is only thine.
