It must indeed be confess'd, that a Lampoon or a Satyr do not carry in them Robbery or Murder; but at the same time, how many are there that would not rather lose a considerable Sum of Mony, or even Life it self, than be set up as a Mark of Infamy and Derision?
"See in the circle next, Eliza plac'd; Two babes of love close clinging to her waste; Fair as before her works she stands confess'd In flow'r'd brocade by bounteous Kirkall dress'd, Pearls on her neck, and roses in her hair, And her fore-buttocks to the navel bare." The Goddess of Dullness offers "yon Juno of majestic size" as the chief prize in the booksellers' games.
"Order is heaven's first law, and this confess'd, Some are, and must be, greater than the rest, More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence That such are happier, shocks all common sense." Our people observed to me, "This is a country of the Sultan, so the women fear nothing." But the environs of Ghadames are the country of the Sultan, which does not prevent the depredations of banditti.
Taylor seems to have answered in a letter to "N. N." which called forth a scathing reply in The Lancashire Levite Rebuked, or a Farther Vindication of the Dissenters.... Taylor's reply, which came out in 1699, was entitled Popery, Superstition, Ignorance, and Knavery Confess'd and fully Proved on the Surey Dissenters.... "N. N." The Lancashire Levite Rebuked. The Rev.
It is confess'd I have talk'd in my tyme And talk'd too much, but not too much of you; For I but seldome thought of such a woman: For any other Sis. Nay, sir, I am satisfied; You can talke your pleasure. Cou. Have I not done it, too? Sis. Yes, by your own report, and with a lady So much in vertue and in birth above you; And therefore I expect not Cou. Stay; this moves me.
It was, however, the decree of fate that Miss Bellenden should not continue to evince the same equanimity till the conclusion of the day. Horseman and horse confess'd the bitter pang, And arms and warrior fell with heavy clang. Pleasures of Hope.
A. I say there's nothing on my mind but what I have confess'd. Q. Well, what you have proclaim'd abroad, if by your works you show, You are prepar'd to worship God, so, at, it, you, may, go."
Again, in "Repentance and Confession," a sinner confesses his misdeeds in such words as these: "But still there's more crowds on my mind And blacker than the rest They look more dark and greater crimes Than all that I've confess'd With tattling tongues and lying lips I've often bore a part: I frankly own I've made some slips To give a lie a start.
'Tis confess'd had he done either, or both these things, he had left them a dear bought Victory, but he was depriv'd of his Counsellor, for as soon as things came to this height, the Achitophel we have so often mention'd, left him also, and went away; all his Abrograzian Priests too fosook him, and he was so bereft of Counsel that he fell into the Hands of his Enemies as he was making his escape, but he got away again, not without the connivance of the Enemy, who were willing enough he should go; so he got a Vessel to carry him over to the Neighbouring Kingdom, and all his Armies, Ships, Forts, Castles, Magazines, and Treasure, fell into his Enemies Hands.
One line, however, in the poem printed in capital letters, gives the moral which was doubtless most deeply felt by the author, and which did not lose its meaning in the years to come. This mournful truth, he says, Is everywhere confess'd, Slow rises worth by poverty depress'd. The difference in tone shows how deeply this and similar truths had been impressed upon its author in the interval.
