Seite 333 - It is not poetry that makes men poor ; For few do write that were not so before ; And those that have writ best, had they been rich, Had ne'er been clapp'd with a poetic itch ; Had loved their ease too well to take the pains To undergo that drudgery of brains ; But, being for all other trades unfit, Only t' avoid being idle, set up wit.
Seite 317 - How various and innumerable Are those who live upon the rabble! Tis they maintain the church and state, Employ the priest and magistrate; Bear all the charge of government, And pay the public fines and rent; Defray all taxes and excises, And impositions of all prices; Bear all the' expense of peace and war, And pay the pulpit and the bar; Maintain all churches and religions, And give their pastors exhibitions...
Seite 330 - LOVE is too great a happiness For wretched mortals to possess ; For could it hold inviolate Against those cruelties of fate Which all felicities below By rigid laws are subject to, It -would become a bliss too high For perishing mortality ; Translate to earth the joys above; For nothing goes to Heaven but Love.
Seite 334 - Far greater numbers have been lost by hopes Than all the magazines of daggers, ropes, And other ammunitions of despair, Were ever able to despatch by fear.
Seite 15 - that he was betrayed by " those whom he most trusted, and who had been " most obliged by his father;" so being weary of his visit, quickly took his leave, and the next morning left the town, out of fear that the prince might know that he was the very fool and coxcomb he had mentioned so kindly. And within two days after, the prince did come to know who it was whom he had treated so well, and whom before, by his behaviour, he had believed to be a man not very glad of the king's restoration.
