Seite 61 - Grief fills the room up of my absent child, Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form; Then, have I reason to be fond of grief ? Fare you well: had you such a loss as I, I could give better comfort than you do.

Seite 69 - My defperation, though refolute, was not of that violent kind as to urge me to take the fatal plunge. As I fat, I fervently recommended my fpirit to that Being I was going to offend in fo Unwarrantable a manner, by not bearing patiently the affliction he was pleafed I fhould naffer.
Seite 79 - Cerberus, guards each avenue to the heart, so that pleasure does not approach. Happy! thrice happy ! are those who are blessed with an independent competence, and can confine their wants within the bounds of that competence, be it what it may. To such alone the bread of life is palatable and nourishing.
