I need not toil beyond my pow'r, Yet never waste one precious hour. "But in a careless, idle frame, I gazed about on what was made: And idle hands will gather shame, And wand'ring eyes confuse the head: I dropp'd my hoe and pruning-knife, To view the beauties of my wife.
Had but my Muse her art to touch the soul, Charm ev'ry sense, and ev'ry pow'r control, I'd paint her as she was the form divine, Where ev'ry lovely grace united shine; A mein majestic, as the wife of Jove; An air as winning as the Queen of Love: In ev'ry feature rival charms should rise, And Cupid hold his empire in her eyes.
"Pisander, read Pratinas that little poem of Archilochus, whose sentiment I so much admired, when I happened on it yesterday." Pisander fumbled among his rolls, then read, perhaps throwing a bit of sarcasm into his tone: "Gyges' wealth and honours great Come not nigh to me! Heavenly pow'r, or tyrant's state, I'll not envy thee. Swift let any sordid prize Fade and vanish from my eyes!"
On the lion, bold and dread, Seeking ever to devour, And the hissing serpent's head, He shall tread with victor's pow'r. God will wipe away his tears; Grant him honor and release; Crown his life with length of years; Save, and keep in perfect peace. The Horse Race. We left Sam Wiles, Zibe Turner and other disturbers of the peace in the county jail.
'Tis needless now my famous Blood to name, This Act alone will immortalize my Fame. My King, on gaining Life, return'd my Pow'r, For which I dy'd his Glory to restore. It was thought for a long Time, that this would prove an inconsolable Loss to Zeokinizul.
But if I choose to make my pow'r be known, The earth itself and ocean I could raise, And binding round Olympus' ridge the cord Leave them suspended so in middle air. And going up on a lofty pine, which then grew on the summit of Ida and through the air reached into the ether. And thus they fought: the iron clangor pierc'd The airless ether and brazen vault of Heaven.
In skill and tact no rival pow'r is known E'en Greece, in him, would Esculapius own." Enthusiasm having thus gone to the last limits in verse, enthusiasm had but one way left to become remarkable in prose: that is, violence. Is it not thus that we must characterize the words of Bergasse?
The sun-touch'd cloud that mounts the sky, That brightly glows to warm the eye, Then fades we know not where, Is image of the little breath Of life and then, the doom of Death That you and I must share! Helpless to make or mar our birth, We blindly grope the ways of earth, And live our paltry hour; Sure, that when life has ceased to please, To die at will, in Stoic ease, Is yielded to our pow'r!
A happy land, where circulating pow'r Flows thro' each member of th'embodied state and I feel well-inclined to respect the peaceful tenor of a life, which likes not to be broken in upon, for the sake of obtaining riches, which when gotten must end only in the pleasure of counting them.
"O wad some pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!" These abominable Atheists are by no means scarce, for, says his Grace, "practical Atheists we have everywhere, if Atheism be the denial of God." Just so; that is precisely what we "infidels" have been saying for years.
