Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep! He, like the world, his ready visit pays Where fortune smiles; the wretched he forsakes.
Ah, how unjust to Nature and himself Is thoughtless, thankless, inconsistent man!
There is nothing of which men are more liberal than their good advice, be their stock of it ever so small; because it seems to carry in it an intimation of their own influence, importance or worth.
Of man's miraculous mistakes, this bears The palm, "That all men are about to live."
The booby father craves a booby son, And by Heaven's blessing thinks himself undone.
It calls Devotion! genuine growth of night! Devotion! Daughter of Astronomy! An undevout astronomer is mad!
Death loves a shining mark, a signal blow.
When men of infamy to grandeur soar, They light a torch to show their shame the more.
A prince indebted is a fortune made.
Polite diseases make some idiots vain, Which, if unfortunately well, they feign.
This is the bud of being, the dim dawn, The twilight of our day, the vestibule; Life's theatre as yet is shut, and death, Strong death, alone can heave the massy bar, This gross impediment of clay remove, And make us embryos of existence free.
This vast and solid earth, that blazing sun, Those skies, thro' which it rolls, must all have end. What then is man? The smallest part of nothing.
Who gives an empire, by the gift defeats All end of giving; and procures contempt Instead of gratitude.
Some go to Church, proud humbly to repent, And come back much more guilty than they went: One way they look, another way they steer, Pray to the Gods; but would have Mortals hear; And when their sins they set sincerely down, They'll find that their Religion has been one.
