Seite 146 - Peace ! Susan, peace ! Pain ever follows sin.' — ' Ah ! then,' thought Susan, ' when will ours begin ? ' When reach'd his home, to what a cheerless fire And chilling bed will those cold limbs retire ! Yet ragged, wretched as it is, that bed Takes half the space of his contracted shed ; I saw the thorns beside the narrow grate, With straw collected in a putrid state : There will he, kneeling, strive the fire to raise, And that will warm him, rather than the blaze; The sullen, smoky blaze, that cannot...
Seite xi - ... the former, that the latter is contemptuously denied them; now of these, reproof, though it may cause more temporary uneasiness, will in many cases create less difficulty, since errors may be corrected when opportunity occurs ; but advice, I repeat, may be of such a nature, that it will be painful to reject, and yet impossible to follow it; and in this predicament I conceive myself to be placed.
Seite 145 - In pity do behold The man affrighten*d, weeping, trembling, cold : Oh ! how those flakes of snow their entrance win Through the poor rags, and keep the frost within. His very heart seems frozen as he goes, Leading that starved companion of his woes : He tried to pray — his lips, I saw them move, And he so turn'd his piteous looks above ; But the fierce wind the willing heart opposed, And, ere he spoke, the lips in misery...
Seite 82 - I'll give —oh! let me fly — How ! but a dream — no judges ! dungeon ! chain ! Or these grim men ! — I will not sleep again. — Wilt thou, dread being ! thus thy promise keep? Day is thy time — and wilt thou murder sleep? Sorrow and want repose, and wilt thou come, Nor give one hour of pure untroubled gloom ? ' Oh ! Conscience ! Conscience ! man's most faithful friend. Him canst thou comfort, ease, relieve, defend; But if he will thy friendly checks forego, Thou art, oh ! woe for me, his...

Wine is like anger ; for it makes us strong, Blind and impatient, and it leads us wrong ; The strength is quickly lost, we feel the error long...
