Even while you wept there by your fallen harp by the grave, What you wept for was translated, pass'd from the grave, The winds favor'd and the sea sail'd it, And now with rosy and new blood, Moves to-day in a new country." Or take these lines from "Children of Adam:"
Yet, O favor'd ones! to chase Victory, to grasp her flutt'ring skirt, and so, with warm, panting cheeks, kissing her, to fall, escaping evil days! How could they laugh? For me, the late passionate struggle left me shaken with sobs; and for the starting tears I saw neither moors around, nor sun, nor twinkling sea.
"By fortune favor'd, clear in fame, I once ambitious was; And friends I had who fann'd the flame, And gave my youth applause. "But now my weakness all accuse, Yet vain their taunts on me; Friends, fortune, fame itself I'd lose, To gain one smile from thee. "And only thou should'st not despise My weakness or my woe; If I am mad in others' eyes, 'Tis thou hast made me so.
The farmer's wife was a quiet woman, in rather tender health; and though for all her offspring she had a mother's love, Frank's kiss ever seem'd sweetest to her lips. She favor'd him more than the rest perhaps, as in a hundred similar instances, for his being so often at fault, and so often blamed.
Two great examples have been shown to-day, To what sure ruin passion does betray, What long repentance to short joys is due, When reason rules, what glory must ensue. If you will love, love like Eliza then, Love for amusement, like those traitors, men. Think that the pastime of a leisure hour She favor'd oft but never shar'd her pow'r.
"Your punishment be on your own head, rash woman," said Dan, sternly, as he took up his riding-whip. "I'll dance with Peggy Harrison," and he went out to Prince Rupert, lifting his hat, as he mounted, to Miss Lydia, who stood at her window above. A moment later they heard his horse's hoofs ringing in the drive, and his voice gayly whistling: "They tell me thou'rt the favor'd guest."
"Her bottom bilged immediately, and the masts were as soon cut away, and the gallant ship, upon which hung the hopes of the colony, was now a complete wreck. I understand that there are some faint hopes, if favor'd with extraordinary fine weather, to recover most of the provision, for she carried a great quantity there on the part of the reinforcement.
I behold the splendid equipages roll by I see the respectful bow at the presence of pride and I curse the contrast between my own lot, and the fortune of the rich. The lofty air the show of dress the aristocratic demeanor the glitter of jewels dazzle my eyes; and sharp-tooth' d envy works within me. I hate these haughty and favor'd ones. Why should my path be so much rougher than theirs?
And when I have observ'd the great anxiety and affliction which many parents have with undutiful children who are favor'd with health, especially their sons, I could perceive very few whose troubles and exercises, on that account, did not far exceed ours.
By these examples then which are drawn out of ancient and modern affaires, searching into the cause hereof, we shall find it much more easie to gain those men for friends, who formerly were contented with the State, and therefore were his enemies: than those, who because they were not contented therewith, became his fiends, and favor'd him in getting the mastery of it.
