Seite 32 - I hear, and hate — be England what she will, With all her faults, she is my country still.
Seite 132 - Clerkenwell, where the body is deposited, and give a token of her presence there, by a knock upon her coffin ; it was therefore determined to make this trial of the existence or veracity of the supposed spirit.

Seite 68 - NIGHT'S honest shade When pomp is buried and false colours fade, Plainly we see at that impartial hour Them dupes to pride, and him the tool of pow'r. God help the man, condemn'd by cruel fate To court the seeming, or the real great. Much sorrow shall he feel, and suffer more Than any slave who labours at the oar.
Seite 39 - Candour must declare he acts too much. Why must Impatience fall three paces back ? Why paces three return to the attack?
