It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath; it is twice bless'd; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown.
'Bless'd paper credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly! Pope, Moral Essays, iii. 39. Who has been pleased to furnish me with his remarks. BOSWELL. No doubt Malone, who says, however: 'On the whole the publick is indebted to her for her lively, though very inaccurate and artful, account of Dr. Johnson. Prior's Malone, p. 364. See ante, iii. 81. Anec. p. 183.
Then the toils of life are done, Youth and age are both as one; Sorrow never more can sting, Neglect or pain the bosom wring; And the joys bless'd spirits prove, Far exceeds all earthly love!" Wearing Mourning for the Dead "What is death? my sister, say." "Ask not, brother, breathing clay. Ask the earth on which we tread, That silent empire of the dead.
Perhaps the good angels, who watch over human lives and human destinies, might have looked with pity upon both. Better, tenfold, to be sinned against than sinning. "Better trust all, and be deceived, And weep that trust and that deceiving, Than doubt one heart which, if believed, Had bless'd one's life with true believing."
Yet still in some moments enchanted I find A ray of her fondness beams soft on my mind; While thus in bless'd fancy my angel I see, All the world is a Larghan Clanbrassil to me. On this journey with Boswell there was a Margaret his own cousin, and it is curious to find him in this mood of sentimental philandering, were it no worse, when we have now to see Bozzy at the end of his love affairs.
Bridget sent no scaly spoil; An infant, wellnigh dead, They saved, and rear'd in want and toil, To beg from you her bread." That orphan maid the lady kiss'd "My husband's looks you bear; St. Bridget and her morn be bless'd! You are his widow's heir." They've robed that maid, so poor and pale, In silk and sandals rare; And pearls, for drops of frozen hail, Are glistening in her hair.
'What are you arter, mun? says I; 'burying a dead babby? says I. 'Give us hold here I'm bless'd if I don't see though what you've got buckled up there. With that, the little white fool it's sartin he was mad all on a sudden flings at my head a precious hard bundle, gives a horrid howl, jumps into the punt, and off again, afore I could wink twice.
'All is not gain that is got into the purse.

The winds were fiercely wreaking Their vengeance on the wave, A hoarse dirge wildly shrieking O'er each uncoffin'd grave. "I started from my pillow The moon was riding high, The wind scarce heav'd a billow Beneath that cloudless sky. I look'd from earth to heaven, And bless'd the tranquil beam; My trembling heart had striven With the tempest of a dream." Goat Island
"Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend; Bless'd be that spot, where cheerful guests retire To pause from toil, and trim their evening fire; Bless'd that abode, where want and pain repair, And every stranger finds a ready chair: Bless'd be those feasts with simple plenty crown'd, Where all the ruddy family around Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail, Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale; Or press the bashful stranger to his food, And learn the luxury of doing good."
