Page 1 - Be kind and courteous to this gentleman ; Hop in his walks, and gambol in his eyes ; Feed him with apricocks and dewberries, With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries ; The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees, And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighs, And light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes...
Page 158 - Pursuing and pursued, each other's prey ; As wolves for rapine, as the fox for wiles, Till Death, that mighty hunter, earths them all. Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour ?

Page xxviii - He fays it never can be drawn up with any degree of accuracy, fo exceedingly ftrange, various, and perplexed it was ; and yet the materials are to be gathered from his writings. All this I deny. I think I can draw his character ; not from his writings, but from my own near obfervations of the man. I knew him well, tho...
Page 365 - God; maker of all things; a clear knowledge of their duty was wanting to mankind. This part of knowledge, though cultivated with some care, by some of the heathen philosophers, yet got little footing among the people. All men indeed, under pain of displeasing the gods, were to frequent the temples, every one went to their sacrifices and services; but the priests made it not their business to teach them virtue.
Page 162 - Son alfo may glorify thee : 2 As thou haft given him power over all flefh, that he fhould give eternal life to as many as thou haft given him.
