Pagina 283 - ... wants that exaltation above common life, which in tragick or heroick writings often reconciles us to bold flights and daring figures. Pastoral being the 'representation of an action or passion, by its effects upon a country life', has nothing peculiar but its confinement to rural imagery, without which it ceases to be pastoral.
Pagina 125 - Eternal Being! the soul that I am now going to give thee back, is as pure, at this moment, as it was when it proceeded from thee : render it partaker of thy felicity...
Pagina 201 - Let them praise the name of the LORD; For his name alone is exalted: His glory is above the earth and heaven.
Pagina iii - Whiteboys was this: — Some landlords in Munster set their lands to cottiers far above their value; and, to lighten their burden, allowed commonage to their tenants by way of recompense; afterwards, in despite of all equity, contrary to all compacts, the landlords enclosed these commons, and precluded their unhappy tenants from the only means of making their bargains tolerable.
Pagina 16 - In the summer, still a few are to be seen in the water in deep devotion up to their chins for hours, sending up their prayers, or performing a number of evolutions round the polygonal well, or threading the arch between well and well a prescribed number of times.
Pagina 449 - Terra : a philosophical discourse of earth, relating to the culture and improvement of it for vegetation, and the propagation of plants, &c.

To whom the ruins of my state commend? Left to myself, abandon'd and betray'd, Too late I found, the wretched have no friend!
