Page 205 - The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour which doth in it live. The canker-blooms have full as deep a dye As the perfumed tincture of the roses, Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly When summer's breath their masked buds discloses: But, for their virtue only is their show, They live unwoo'd and unrespected fade; Die to themselves.
Page 1 - New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray ; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

Page 151 - Is this a Mother's Love ? A parent's heart may prove a snare; The child she loves so well, Her hand may lead, with gentlest care, Down the smooth road to hell ; Nourish its frame, — destroy its mind : Thus do the blind mislead the blind, Even with a Mother's Love.
Page 64 - This let me hope, that when in public view I bring my pictures, men may feel them true ; 'This is a likeness,' may they all declare, 'And I have seen him, but I know not where;' For I should mourn the mischief I had done, If as the likeness all would fix on one.
