Popular passages
Page 191 - Yields undiscerned by all but God ? Thy precious things, whate'er they be That haunt and vex thee, heart and brain ? Look to the cross, and thou shalt see How thou may'st turn them all to gain.
Page 220 - In glowing health, with boundless wealth, But sickening of a vague disease, You know so ill to deal with time, You needs must play such pranks as these. Clara, Clara Vere de Vere, If Time be heavy on your hands, Are there no beggars at your gate, Nor any poor about your lands ? Oh ! teach the orphan-boy to read, Or teach the orphan-girl to sew, Pray Heaven for a human heart, And let the foolish yeoman go.
Page 312 - I am ashamed that women are so simple To offer war where they should kneel for peace, Or seek for rule, supremacy and sway, When they are bound to serve, love and obey.
Page 102 - How far less blest am I than them, Daily to pine and waste with care! Like the poor plant, that, from its stem Divided, feels the chilling air.
