Pagina 87 - "Thou hast said much here of Paradise Lost,' but what hast thou to say of 'Paradise Found?
Pagina 117 - Peace to all such ! but were there one whose fires True genius kindles, and fair fame inspires; Blest with each talent and each art to please, And born to write, converse, and live with ease : Should such a man, too fond to rule alone, Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne...
Pagina 149 - Here lies our good Edmund, whose genius was such, We scarcely can praise it or blame it too much; Who, born for the universe, narrowed his mind, And to party gave up what was meant for mankind...
Pagina 257 - Die, he or justice must; unless for him Some other, able, and as willing, pay The rigid satisfaction ; death for death.
