Were now that chronicle alive, Those white designs which children drive, And the thoughts of each harmless hour, With their content too in my power, Quickly would I make my path even, And by mere playing go to heaven. And yet the practice worldlings call Business and weighty action all, Checking the poor child for his play, But gravely cast themselves away.
Like Nora, she came from the middle classes, and, like Nora, she transgressed, how often he did not know, but with another woman's husband certainly. A critical writer and exponent of serious literature. Taste for learned studies did not preclude abstinence from those sins which in his ignorance of life he had associated with worldlings! Of course, St. Augustine was such a one.
Among his friends there were Edward Kirke, who ed. the Shepheard's Calendar, and Gabriel Harvey, the critic. While still at school he had contributed 14 sonnet-visions to Van de Noot's Theatre for Worldlings . On leaving the Univ.
St John Deloraine persevered in crediting all she met with a passion for virtue.

Never lose sight of your glorious title of Christian.
But, if we can lift ourselves up into the higher comprehension of what a noble thing this world really is, we may well aspire to be worldlings. Julius Caesar was a worldling; so was Shakespeare. Erasmus was a worldling. We might increase the list indefinitely. These men brought the loftiest talents to the use of worldly things.
Many men contract their idea of the world to their own circle, and what they imagine to be said in that circle of friends and acquaintances is their idea of public opinion- "as if," to use a saying of Southey's, "a number of worldlings made a world."
I, who almost every day do traffick with worldlings, what can I learn thereby save the acts of worldly men?
If you would really understand Christianity you must look neither down to the deluded masses, and those ambitious worldlings who only use it as a means to an end by inflaming their baser passions, nor up to the throne, where power translates the impulse of a disastrous moment into sinister deeds.
