Pagina 21 - I cannot but conceive him calm and confident, little disappointed, not at all dejected, relying on his own merit with steady consciousness, and waiting, without impatience, the vicissitudes of opinion, and the impartiality of a future generation.
Pagina 85 - Could all our care elude the gloomy grave, Which claims no less the fearful than the brave, For lust of fame I should not vainly dare In fighting fields, nor urge thy soul to war. But since, alas ! ignoble age must come, Disease, and death's inexorable doom, The life, which others pay, let us bestow, And give to fame what we to nature owe ; Brave though we fall, and honour'd if we live, Or let us glory gain, or glory give...

On the contrary, I declare, that to recommend goodness and innocence hath XV been my sincere endeavour in this history.

Pagina 293 - FSA and of many of his learned friends, containing an incidental view of the progress and advancement of literature in this kingdom from the beginning of the present Century to the end of the year 1777.
