Popular passages
Page 144 - From virtue and unblemish'd fame. By birth the name alone descends ,Your honour on yourself depends : Think not your coronet can hide Assuming ignorance and pride. Learning by study must be won-; 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son.
Page 143 - Some at the sounding anvil glow ; Some the swift-sliding shuttle throw ; Some, studious of the wind and tide, From pole to pole our commerce guide : Some (taught by industry) impart With hands and feet the works of art; While some, of genius more refined, With head and tongue assist mankind ; Each aiming at one common end, Proves to the whole a needful friend.
