Seite 15 - The holy Stranger to these dismal walls ; And doth not he, the pious man, appear, He, " passing rich with forty pounds a year ?" Ah ! no, a Shepherd of a different stock, And far unlike him, feeds this little flock ; A jovial youth, who thinks his Sunday's task, As much as GOD or Man can fairly ask ; The rest he gives to loves and labours light, To Fields the morning and to Feasts the night ; None better...
Seite 141 - This BOOKS can do; - nor this alone; they give New views to life, and teach us how to live; They soothe the grieved, the stubborn they chastise, Fools they admonish, and confirm the wise: Their aid they yield to all...
Seite 80 - And now her path but not her peace she gains, Safe from her task, but shivering with her pains ; Her home she reaches, open leaves the door, And placing first her infant on the floor, She bares her bosom to the wind, and sits, And sobbing struggles with the rising fits: In vain, they come, she feels th...
