When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair.
Ocean into tempest wrought, To waft a feather, or to drown a fly.
In chambers deep, Where waters sleep, What unknown treasures pave the floor.
Groan under gold, yet weep for want of bread.
What is a miracle?--'Tis a reproach, 'Tis an implicit satire on mankind; And while it satisfies, it censures too.
We cry for mercy to the next amusement, The next amusement mortgages our fields
Body and soul, like peevish man and wife, United jar, and yet are loth to part.
He that's ungrateful has no guilt but one; All other crimes may pass for virtues in him.
The soul of man was made to walk the skies.
The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety.
Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young, And gay as soft, and innocent as gay!
Man wants but little, nor that little long; How soon must he resign his very dust, Which frugal nature lent him for an hour!
Take God from nature, nothing great is left.
Nature delights in progress; in advance.
