"Cowper was my favourite poet in my youth," she said, "and I was very fond of Mrs. Hemans and Mrs. Barbauld. Their poetry is at once elegant and elevated in tone and spirit. I hope you agree with me, Doctor Strong?" "I don't know!" said Geoffrey, "I never read 'em. But Shelley, Miss Vesta! you love Shelley, I'm sure? He would have loved you so, you know."
Someone was it Cowper? -has said that there are no really ugly voices in nature, and that he could imagine that there was something to be said even for the donkey's bray. I should have thought that the beautiful voices in nature were few, and that most of them could be defended only on the ground of some pleasant association.
Cowper tottered at a black dispatch-box. "There, there!" he said; "I tell you I shall starve if I don't have it. Ask him ask him " He was clutching me like a drowning man. Castro raised the inevitable arm towards heaven, letting his round black cloak fall into folds like those of an umbrella.
Behold the imperial mount! 'tis thus the mighty falls." But Cowper rises to a yet higher pitch, and reads the true moral which is taught by this fallen mount. For to Rome may we apply his lines on the fall of the once proud monarchy of Spain. "Art thou, too, fallen, Iberia? Do we see The robber and the murderer weak as we?
It reminds one of Cowper, the English poet, who, in the same kennel, cut a big hole for his big dog and a little hole for the pup. The most talked-of war subject in England is the German spy system.

If the pages were written so recently, where is the writer?" "He is dead," Burton replied. Mr. Cowper sighed. "Well, well," he continued, starting upon his task with avidity, "we will talk about him presently. This is indeed miraculous. I am most grateful deeply grateful to you for having brought me this manuscript." Mr. Cowper was busy for the next quarter of an hour.
It is made up, in the particular language here under consideration, of human beings as heterogeneous as Burns and Bunyan, De Foe and Johnson, Goldsmith and Cowper, Law and Fielding, Scott and Byron.
Even Cowper, who owed to the frolics of his kitten a few hours' respite from melancholy, had no conception that his adult cat could do better service than slay rats. "I have a kitten, my dear," he wrote to Lady Hesketh, "the drollest of all creatures that ever wore a cat's skin. Her gambols are incredible, and not to be described. She tumbles head over heels several times together.
Never squeamish about the truth, when he could gain a point by falsehood, Swift endorsed the spiteful fabrication, and in the Examiner, pointing at Lord Cowper, wrote "This gentleman, knowing that marriage fees were a considerable perquisite to the clergy, found out a way of improving them cent. per cent. for the benefit of the Church.
From Thee is all that soothes the life of man,— His high endeavour and his glad success, His strength to suffer and his will to serve.—COWPER. And God proclaim’d from heaven, and by an oath Confirm’d, that each should answer for himself; And as his own peculiar work should be Done by his proper self, should live or die.—POLLOK.
