Seite 198 - THE BODY of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Printer, (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out, and stript of its lettering and gilding) lies here food for worms ; yet the work itself shall not be lost, for it will (as he believed) appear once more in a new and more beautiful edition, corrected and amended by THE AUTHOR.

Seite 185 - A poet, blest beyond the poet's fate, Whom Heaven kept sacred from the Proud and Great : Foe to loud praise, and friend to learned ease, Content with science in the vale of peace. Calmly he look'd on either life ; and here Saw nothing to regret, or there to fear ; From Nature's temperate feast rose satisfied, Thank'd Heaven that he had liv'd, and that he died.

Seite 335 - A Commentary, with Notes, on the four Evangelists and the Acts of the Apostles," with other theological pieces.
Seite 261 - ... in judgment and in genius bright; In controversy seldom known to spare, But humble as the Publican in prayer ; To more, than merited his kindness, kind, And, though in manners harsh, of friendly mind ; Deep ting'd with melancholy's blackest shade, And, though prepar'd to die, of death afraid— Such Johnson was ; of him with justice vain, When will this nation see his like again...
