第 ix 頁 - E'en those who dwell beneath its very zone, Or never feel the rage, or never own ; What happier natures shrink at with affright, The hard inhabitant contends is right. 230 Virtuous and vicious every man must be, Few in the extreme, but all in the degree ; The rogue and fool by fits is fair and wise ; And e'en the best, by fits, what they despise.
第 109 頁 - DOUBTLESS the pleasure is as great Of being cheated, as to cheat ; As lookers-on feel most delight That least perceive a juggler's sleight, And still, the less they understand, The more they
第 271 頁 - O woman ! in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light, quivering aspen made ; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou...
第 298 頁 - Oh ! ever thus, from childhood's hour, I've seen my fondest hopes decay ; I never loved a tree or flower, But 'twas the first to fade away. I never nursed a dear gazelle. To glad me with its soft black eye, But when it came to know me well, And love me, it was sure to die ! Now too — the joy most like divine Of all I ever dreamt or knew.

This rule may be followed in other complaints with other very active drugs, such as croton oil; but this is one of our profoundest secrets, and must be kept so. Were it known, our wonder-working powers would be reduced in the estimation of the public and the regulars."—P.
第 83 頁 - Men are but children of a larger growth ; Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain; And yet the soul, shut up in her dark room, Viewing so clear abroad, at home sees nothing; But, like a mole in earth, busy and blind, Works all her folly up, and casts it outward To the world's open view...
第 250 頁 - And Gilpin, long live he; And when he next doth ride abroad, May I be there to see ! AN EPISTLE TO A PROTESTANT LADY IN FRANCE.
第 323 頁 - THE Old Lion of England grows youthful again ; He rouses — he rises — he bristles his mane; His eye-balls flash fire ; his terrible roar, Like thunder, bursts awfully over our shore ! We Sons of the Lion...
第 193 頁 - Morphia, Strychnine, Arsenic, Corrosive Sublimate, and such like : a few of these, mingled with your sugar and starch globules, will cause effects to be felt by the sceptic, which will quickly overcome his disbelief — he generally makes an excellent patient, and often a good decoy duck.
