151:27,018[A ]| Poets were judges, Kings Philosophers; 151:27,019[A ]| Even then from her the wise would copies draw, 151:27,020[A ]| And she to$4$ the infant-World had given Law. 151:27,021[A ]| That$3$ souls were made of number could not be 151:27,022[A ]| An observation, but a prophecy. 151:27,023[A ]| It meant Lucasia, whose harmonious state 151:27,024[A ]| The spheres and muses faintly imitate. 151:27,025[A ]| But as then Music is best understood 151:27,026[A ]| When every chord is examined and found good: 151:27,027[A ]| So$3$ what in$4$ others judgement is, and will$0$, 151:27,028[A ]| In$4$ her is the same even reason still. 151:27,029[A ]| And as some colour various seems, but yet 151:27,030[A ]| It is but our difference in$4$ considering it: 151:27,031[A ]| So$3$ she now life, and then doth light dispense, 151:27,032[A ]| But is one shining orb of Excellence;

151:31,048[A ]| She did believe, and pray, and read, and do. 151:31,049[A ]| So$5#1$ firm an equal Soul she had engrossed, 151:31,050[A ]| Just even to$4$ those that$6#1$ disobliged her most, 151:31,051[A ]| She lost all sense of wrong, glad to$9$ believe 151:31,052[A ]| That$3$ it was in$4$ her power to$9$ forgive. 151:31,053[A ]| Her alms I may admire, but never relate, 151:31,054[A ]| But her own works shall praise her in$4$ the Gate. 151:31,055[A ]| Her life was chequered with afflictive years, 151:31,056[A ]| And even her comforts seasoned in$4$ her tears. 151:31,057[A ]| Scarce for$4$ a husband's loss her eyes were dried, 151:31,058[A ]| And that$6#2$ loss by$4$ her children half supplied, 151:31,059[A ]| When Heaven was pleased not those dear props to$9$ afford, 151:31,060[A ]| But tore most off, by$4$ sickness, or a Sword. 151:31,061[A ]| She, who$6#1$ in$4$ them could still their father boast, 151:31,062[A ]| Was a fresh widow every Son she lost. 151:31,063[A ]| Litigious hands did her of Right deprive, 151:31,064[A ]| That$3$ after all it was penance to$9$ survive. 151:31,065[A ]| Yet she these Griefs had nobly undergone, 151:31,066[A ]| Which$6#1$ few support at all, but better none. 151:31,067[A ]| Such a submissive Greatness who$6#2$ can find? 151:31,068[A ]| A Tender heart, with so$5#1$ resolved a mind? 151:31,069[A ]| But she, though sensible, was still the same, 151:31,070[A ]| Of a Resigned Soul, untainted Fame; 151:31,071[A ]| Nor were her Virtues coarsely set, for$3$ she 151:31,072[A ]| Out-did Example in$4$ Civility: 151:31,073[A ]| To$9$ bestow blessings, to$9$ oblige, Relieve, 151:31,074[A ]| Was all for$4$ which$6#1$ she could endure to$9$ live, 151:31,075[A ]| And had a joy higher in$4$ doing good, 151:31,076[A ]| Than they to$4$ whom the benefit accrued. 151:31,077[A ]| Though none of honour had a quicker sense, 151:31,078[A ]| Never had woman more of complacence; 151:31,079[A ]| Yet lost It not in$4$ empty forms, but still 151:31,080[A ]| Her nature noble was, her Soul Gentle. 151:31,081[A ]| And as in$4$ Youth she did extract, for$3$ she 151:31,082[A ]| The verdure had, without the vanity, 151:31,083[A ]| So$3$ she in$4$ Age was grave and mild to$4$ all, 151:31,084[A ]| Was not morose, but was majestical. 151:31,085[A ]| Thus from all other women she had skill 151:31,086[A ]| To$9$ draw their good, but nothing of their ill; 151:31,087[A ]| And since she knew the mad Tumultuous world, 151:31,088[A ]| Saw Crowns reversed, Temples to$4$ ruin hurled; 151:31,089[A ]| She in$4$ Retirement chose to$9$ shine and burn, 151:31,090[A ]| As Ancient Lamps in$4$ some Egiptian Urn. 151:31,091[A ]| At last, when spent with sickness, Grief and Age, 151:31,092[A ]| Her Guardian Angel did her death presage: 151:31,093[A ]| So$3$ that$3$ by$4$ strong impulse she cheerfully 151:31,094[A ]| Dispensed blessings, and went home to$9$ die; 151:31,095[A ]| That$3$ so$5#2$ she might, when to$4$ that$6#2$ place removed, 151:31,096[A ]| Marry his Ashes, whom she ever Loved. 151:31,097[A ]| She died, gained a reward, and paid a debt: 151:31,098[A ]| The Sun himself did never brighter set! 151:31,099[A ]| Happy were they that$6#1$ knew her, and her End, 151:31,100[A ]| More happy they that$6#1$ did from her descend: 151:31,101[A ]| A double blessing they may hope to$9$ have, 151:31,102[A ]| One she conveyed to$4$ them, and one she gave. 151:31,103[A ]| All that$6#1$ are hers are therefore sure to$9$ be 151:31,104[A ]| Blessed by$4$ inheritance and Legacy. 151:31,105[A ]| A Royal birth had less advantage been, 151:31,106[A ]| It is more to$9$ die a Saint, than Live a Queen. 151:32,000[' ]| 151:32,000[' ]| 151:32,001[A ]| Honour, which$6#1$ differs man from man much more 151:32,002[A ]| Than reason differed him from beasts before, 151:32,003[A ]| Suffers this common fate of all things good, 151:32,004[A ]| By$4$ the blind world to$9$ be misunderstood. 151:32,005[A ]| For$3$ as some heathens did their gods confine, 151:32,006[A ]| While in$4$ a Bird or Beast they made their shrine, 151:32,007[A ]| Deposed their Deities to$4$ Earth, and then 151:32,008[A ]| Offered them rites that$6#1$ were too low for$4$ men: 151:32,009[A ]| So$3$ those who$6#1$ most to$9$ honour sacrifice, 151:32,010[A ]| Prescribe to$4$ her a dull and weak disguise;

151:43,005[A ]| What secret Unions neighbouring agents make, 151:43,006[A ]| And of each other how they do partake. 151:43,007[A ]| These are but low experiments; but he 151:43,008[A ]| That$6#1$ nature's harmony entire would see, 151:43,009[A ]| Must search agreeing souls, sit down and view 151:43,010[A ]| How sweet the mixture is! how full! how true! 151:43,011[A ]| By$4$ what soft touches spirits greet and kiss, 151:43,012[A ]| And in$4$ each other can complete their bliss: 151:43,013[A ]| A wonder so$5#1$ sublime it will$1$ admit 151:43,014[A ]| No$2$ rude spectator to$9$ contemplate it. 151:43,015[A ]| The object will$1$ refine, and he that$6#1$ can 151:43,016[A ]| Friendship revere must be a noble man. 151:43,017[A ]| How much above the common rate of things 151:43,018[A ]| Must they then be from whom this Union springs? 151:43,019[A ]| But what is all this to$4$ me, who$6#1$ live to$9$ be 151:43,020[A ]| Disprover of my own morality? 151:43,021[A ]| And he that$6#1$ knew my unimproved Soul, 151:43,022[A ]| Would say I meant all friendship to$9$ control. 151:43,023[A ]| But bodies move in$4$ time, and so$5#2$ must minds;

151:44,026[A ]| God's Love and knowledge are both infinite. 151:44,027[A ]| And though indeed Truth doth delight to$9$ lie 151:44,028[A ]| At some remoteness from a Common eye; 151:44,029[A ]| Yet it is not in$4$ a Thunder or a Noise, 151:44,030[A ]| But in$4$ soft whispers and the stiller voice. 151:44,031[A ]| Why should we then Knowledge so$5#1$ rudely treat, 151:44,032[A ]| Making our Weapon what was meant our meat? 151:44,033[A ]| It is ignorance that$6#1$ makes us quarrel so$5#2$; 151:44,034[A ]| The soul that$6#1$ is dark will$1$ be contracted too. 151:44,035[A ]| Chimeras make a noise, swelling and vain, 151:44,036[A ]| And soon resolve to$4$ their own smoke again; 151:44,037[A ]| But a true Light the spirit doth dilate, 151:44,038[A ]| And robs it of its proud and sullen state; 151:44,039[A ]| Makes Love admired because it is understood, 151:44,040[A ]| And makes us wise because it makes us good. 151:44,041[A ]| It is to$4$ a right prospect of things that$3$ we 151:44,042[A ]| Owe our uprightness and our Charity; 151:44,043[A ]| For$3$ who$6#1$ resists a beam when shining bright, 151:44,044[A ]| Is not a sinner of a common height. 151:44,045[A ]| That$6#2$ state is forfeiture, and helps are spent, 151:44,046[A ]| Not more a sin than it is a punishment. 151:44,047[A ]| The soul that$6#1$ sees things in$4$ their native frame, 151:44,048[A ]| Without opinions, mask or custom's name, 151:44,049[A ]| Can not be clogged to$4$ sense, or count that$6#2$ high 151:44,050[A ]| Which$6#1$ hath its estimation from a Lie. 151:44,051[A ]| (Mean sordid things, which$6#1$ by$4$ mistake we prise, 151:44,052[A ]| And absent covet, but enjoyed despise.) 151:44,053[A ]| But scorning these hath robbed them of their Art, 151:44,054[A ]| Either to$9$ swell or to$9$ subdue the heart; 151:44,055[A ]| And learnt that$6#2$ generous frame to$9$ be above 151:44,056[A ]| The world in$4$ hopes, below it all in$4$ Love: 151:44,057[A ]| Touched with divine and inward life doth run, 151:44,058[A ]| Not resting till it hath its Centre won; 151:44,059[A ]| Moves steadily Until it safe doth lie 151:44,060[A ]| In$4$ the root of all its Immortallity; 151:44,061[A ]| And resting here, hath yet activity 151:44,062[A ]| To$9$ grow more like$5$ unto the Deity; 151:44,063[A ]| Good, Universal, wise and just as he, 151:44,064[A ]| (The same in$4$ kind, though differing in$4$ degree) 151:44,065[A ]| Till at the last it is swallowed up$5$ and grown 151:44,066[A ]| With god and with the whole Creation One; 151:44,067[A ]| Itself, so$5#1$ small a part, in$4$ the whole is lost, 151:44,068[A ]| And generals have particulars engrossed. 151:44,069[A ]| That$6#2$ dark contracted Personality, 151:44,070[A ]| Like$4$ mists before the Sun, will$1$ from it fly; 151:44,071[A ]| And then the soul, one shining Sphere, at Length, 151:44,072[A ]| Filled with true love wisdom and purged strength, 151:44,073[A ]| Beholds her highest good with open face, 151:44,074[A ]| And like$4$ him all the world she can embrace. 151:45,000[' ]| 151:45,000[A ]| Madam, 151:45,001[A ]| I do not write to$4$ you that$3$ men may know 151:45,002[A ]| How much I am honoured that$3$ I may do so$5#2$; 151:45,003[A ]| Nor hope (though I your rich example give) 151:45,004[A ]| To$9$ write with more success than you can live, 151:45,005[A ]| To$9$ cure the age; nor think I can be just, 151:45,006[A ]| Who$6#1$ only dare to$9$ write, because I must. 151:45,007[A ]| I am full of you, and something must express, 151:45,008[A ]| To$9$ vent my wonder and your power confess. 151:45,009[A ]| Let me then breathe in$4$ verse, which$6#1$ though undue, 151:45,010[A ]| The best would seem so$5#2$, when it shadows you. 151:45,011[A ]| Had I never heard of your illustrious name, 151:45,012[A ]| Nor known the Scotch or English honour's fame; 151:45,013[A ]| Yet if your glorious frame did but appear, 151:45,014[A ]| I could have soon read all your grandeur there. 151:45,015[A ]| I could have seen in$4$ each majestic ray 151:45,016[A ]| What greatest Ancestors could ever convey; 151:45,017[A ]| And in$4$ the lustre of your eyes alone, 151:45,018[A ]| How near you were allied unto a throne. 151:45,019[A ]| Which$6#1$ yet doth lessen you, who$6#1$ can not need 151:45,020[A ]| Those bright advantages which$6#1$ you exceed. 151:45,021[A ]| For$3$ you are such, that$3$ your descent from Kings 151:45,022[A ]| Received more Honour from you than it brings. 151:45,023[A ]| As much above their glories as our toil, 151:45,024[A ]| A court to$4$ you were but a handsome foil. 151:45,025[A ]| And if we name the stock on$4$ which$6#1$ you grew, 151:45,026[A ]| It is rather to$9$ do right to$4$ it than you: 151:45,027[A ]| For$3$ those that$6#1$ would your greatest splendour see, 151:45,028[A ]| Must read your soul more than your pedigree. 151:45,029[A ]| For$3$ as the sacred temple had without, 151:45,030[A ]| Beauty to$9$ feed those eyes that$6#1$ gazed about, 151:45,031[A ]| And yet had riches, state and wonder more, 151:45,032[A ]| For$4$ those that$6#1$ stood within that$6#2$ shining door; 151:45,032[A ]| But in$4$ the holy place the admitted few, 151:45,034[A ]| Lustre received and inspiration too: 151:45,035[A ]| So$3$ though your glories in$4$ your face be seen, 151:45,036[A ]| And so$5#1$ much bright instruction in$4$ your mien; 151:45,037[A ]| You are not known but where you will$1$ impart 151:45,038[A ]| The treasures of your more illustrious heart. 151:45,039[A ]| Religion all her odours sheds on$4$ you, 151:45,040[A ]| Who$6#1$ by$4$ obliging vindicate her too: 151:45,041[A ]| For$3$ that$6#2$ rich beam of heaven was almost 151:45,042[A ]| In$4$ nice disputes and false pretences lost; 151:45,043[A ]| So$3$ doubly injured, she could scarce subsist 151:45,044[A ]| Between the hypocrite and casuist; 151:45,045[A ]| Till you by$4$ great example did convince 151:45,046[A ]| Us of her nature and her residence, 151:45,047[A ]| And chose to$9$ show her face, and ease her strife, 151:45,048[A ]| Less by$4$ your arguments than by$4$ your life; 151:45,049[A ]| Which$6#1$ if it could be copied out, would be 151:45,050[A ]| A solid body of divinity. 151:45,051[A ]| Your principles and practice light would give 151:45,052[A ]| What we should do, and what we should believe: 151:45,053[A ]| For$3$ the extensive knowledge you possess, 151:45,054[A ]| You do acquire with more ease than confess; 151:45,055[A ]| And as by$4$ you knowledge hath thus obtained 151:45,056[A ]| To$9$ be refined, and then to$9$ be explained: 151:45,057[A ]| So$3$ in$4$ return she useful is to$4$ you, 151:45,058[A ]| In$4$ practice and in$4$ contemplation too; 151:45,059[A ]| For$3$ by$4$ the various succour she hath lent, 151:45,060[A ]| You act with judgement, and think with content. 151:45,061[A ]| Yet those vast arts with such a temper meet, 151:45,062[A ]| That$3$ you can lay them at religion's feet; 151:45,063[A ]| Nor is it half so$5#1$ bold as it is true, 151:45,064[A ]| That$3$ Virtue is herself obliged to$4$ you: 151:45,065[A ]| For$4$ being dressed by$4$ your subduing charms, 151:45,066[A ]| She conquers more than did the Roman arms. 151:45,067[A ]| We see in$4$ you how much that$6#2$ malice lied 151:45,068[A ]| That$6#1$ stuck on$4$ goodness any sullen pride; 151:45,069[A ]| And that$3$ the harshness some professors wear 151:45,070[A ]| Falls to$4$ their own, and not religion's share. 151:45,071[A ]| But your bright sweetness if it once appear, 151:45,072[A ]| Reclaims the bad, and softens the austere. 151:45,073[A ]| Men talked of honour too, but could not tell 151:45,074[A ]| What was the secret of that$6#2$ active spell. 151:45,075[A ]| That$6#2$ beauteous mantle they to$4$ divers lent, 151:45,076[A ]| Yet wondered what the mighty nothing meant. 151:45,077[A ]| Some did confine her to$4$ a worthy fame, 151:45,078[A ]| And some to$4$ royal patents gave her Name. 151:45,079[A ]| You having claim unto her either way, 151:45,080[A ]| By$4$ what a King could give, a world could pay, 151:45,081[A ]| Have a more living honour in$4$ your breast, 151:45,082[A ]| Which$6#1$ justifies, and yet obscures the rest; 151:45,083[A ]| A principle from fame and pomp untied, 151:45,084[A ]| So$5#1$ truly high that$3$ it despises pride; 151:45,085[A ]| Buying good actions at the dearest rate, 151:45,086[A ]| Looks down on$4$ ill with as much scorn as hate; 151:45,087[A ]| Acts things so$5#1$ generous and bravely hard, 151:45,088[A ]| And in$4$ obliging finds so$5#1$ much reward; 151:45,089[A ]| So$5#1$ self denying great, so$5#1$ firmly just, 151:45,090[A ]| Apt to$9$ confer, strict to$9$ preserve a trust; 151:45,091[A ]| That$3$ all whose honour would be justified, 151:45,092[A ]| Must by$4$ your standard have it stamped and tried. 151:45,093[A ]| But your perfection heightens others' crimes, 151:45,094[A ]| And you reproach while you inform the times. 151:45,095[A ]| Which$6#1$ sad advantage you will$1$ scarce believe; 151:45,096[A ]| Or if you must, you do conceal and grieve. 151:45,097[A ]| You scorn so$5#1$ poor a foil as others ill, 151:45,098[A ]| And are protector to$4$ the unhappy still; 151:45,099[A ]| Yet are so$5#1$ tender when you see a spot, 151:45,100[A ]| You blush for$4$ those who$6#1$ for$4$ themselves could not. 151:45,101[A ]| You are so$5#1$ much above your sex, that$3$ we 151:45,102[A ]| Believe your life your greatest courtesy: 151:45,103[A ]| For$3$ women boast they have, while you will$1$ live, 151:45,104[A ]| A pattern and a representative, 151:45,105[A ]| And future mothers who$6#1$ in$4$ childbirth groan, 151:45,106[A ]| Shall wish for$4$ daughters, knowing you are one. 151:45,107[A ]| The world hath Kings whose thrones are cemented 151:45,108[A ]| Or by$4$ that$6#2$ blood they boast, or that$6#2$ they shed: 151:45,109[A ]| Yet these great Idols of the stooping crew 151:45,110[A ]| Have neither pleasure sound, nor honour true. 151:45,111[A ]| They either fight, or play; and power court, 151:45,112[A ]| In$4$ trivial anger, or in$4$ cruel sport. 151:45,113[A ]| You, who$6#1$ a nobler privilege enjoy, 151:45,114[A ]| (For$3$ you can save whom they can but destroy) 151:45,115[A ]| An empire have where different mixtures kiss; 151:45,116[A ]| You are grave, not sour, and kind, but not remiss. 151:45,117[A ]| Such sweetened majestic, such humble state, 151:45,118[A ]| Do love and reverence at once create. 151:45,119[A ]| Pardon, dear Madam, these untaught essays, 151:45,120[A ]| I can admire more fitly than I praise. 151:45,121[A ]| Things so$5#1$ sublime are dimly understood, 151:45,122[A ]| And you were born so$5#1$ great, and are so$5#1$ good, 151:45,123[A ]| So$5#1$ much above the honour of your name, 151:45,124[A ]| And by$4$ neglect do so$5#1$ secure your fame; 151:45,125[A ]| Whose beauty is such as captivates the wise, 151:45,126[A ]| Yet only you, of all the world, despise; 151:45,127[A ]| That$6#1$ have so$5#1$ vast a knowledge so$5#1$ subdued, 151:45,128[A ]| Religion so$5#1$ adorned, and so$5#1$ pursued; 151:45,129[A ]| A wit so$5#1$ strong, that$3$ who$6#1$ would it define, 151:45,130[A ]| Will$1$ need ten times one more acute than mine; 151:45,131[A ]| Yet ruled so$3$ that$3$ its vigour managed thus 151:45,132[A ]| Becomes at once grateful and generous; 151:45,133[A ]| Whose honour hath so$5#1$ delicate a sense, 151:45,134[A ]| Who$6#1$ always pardon, never give offence; 151:45,135[A ]| Who$6#1$ needing nothing, yet to$4$ all are kind, 151:45,136[A ]| Who$6#1$ have so$5#1$ large a heart, so$5#1$ rich a mind; 151:45,137[A ]| Whose friendship still is on$4$ the obliging side, 151:45,138[A ]| And yet so$5#1$ free from tyranny and pride; 151:45,139[A ]| Who$6#1$ do in$4$ love (like$4$ Jonathan) descend, 151:45,140[A ]| And strip yourself to$4$ cloth your happy friend; 151:45,141[A ]| Whose kindness and whose modesty is such, 151:45,142[A ]| To$9$ expect so$5#1$ little and deserve so$5#1$ much; 151:45,143[A ]| Who$6#1$ have such candid worth, such dear concern, 151:45,144[A ]| Where we so$5#1$ much may love, so$5#1$ much may learn; 151:45,145[A ]| Whose every wonder, though it fills and shines, 151:45,146[A ]| It never to$4$ an ill excess declines; 151:45,147[A ]| But all are found so$5#1$ sweetly opposite, 151:45,148[A ]| As are in$4$ Titian's pieces shade and light: 151:45,149[A ]| That$3$ he that$6#1$ would your great description try, 151:45,150[A ]| Though he write well, would be as lost as I, 151:45,151[A ]| Who$6#1$ of injurious zeal convicted stand, 151:45,152[A ]| To$9$ draw you with so$5#1$ bold and bad a hand; 151:45,153[A ]| But that$3$, like$4$ other glories, I presume 151:45,154[A ]| You will$1$ enlighten, where you might consume. 151:46,000[' ]| 151:46,000[' ]| 151:46,001[A ]| Well! we will$1$ do that$6#2$ rigid thing 151:46,002[A ]| Which$6#1$ makes Spectators think we part; 151:46,003[A ]| Though absence hath for$4$ none a sting 151:46,004[A ]| But those who$6#1$ keep each other's heart. 151:46,005[A ]| And when our sense is dispossessed, 151:46,006[A ]| Our labouring Souls will$1$ heave and pant, 151:46,007[A ]| And gasp for$4$ one another's Breast, 151:46,008[A ]| Since their conveyances they want. 151:46,009[A ]| Nay, we have felt the tedious smart 151:46,010[A ]| Of absent friendship, and do know 151:46,011[A ]| That$3$ when we die we can but part; 151:46,012[A ]| And who$6#2$ knows what we shall do now? 151:46,013[A ]| Yet since I must go, we will$1$ submit, 151:46,014[A ]| And so$5#2$ our own disposers be; 151:46,015[A ]| For$3$ while we nobly suffer it, 151:46,016[A ]| We triumph over necessity. 151:46,017[A ]| By$4$ this we shall be truly great, 151:46,018[A ]| If, having other things overcome, 151:46,019[A ]| To$9$ make our Victory complete 151:46,020[A ]| We can be Conquerors at home! 151:46,021[A ]| Nay then to$9$ meet we may conclude, 151:46,022[A ]| And all obstructions overthrow; 151:46,023[A ]| Since we our Passion have subdud, 151:46,024[A ]| Which$6#1$ is the strongest thing I know. 151:47,000[' ]| 151:47,000[' ]| 151:47,001[A ]| There is no$2$ such thing as pleasure here, 151:47,002[A ]| It is all a perfect Cheat, 151:47,003[A ]| Which$6#1$ does but shine and disappear, 151:47,004[A ]| Whose charm is all deceit: 151:47,005[A ]| The empty bribe of yielding souls, 151:47,006[A ]| Which$6#1$ first betrays, and then controls. 151:47,007[A ]| It is true it looks at distance fair; 151:47,008[A ]| But when we do approach, 151:47,009[A ]| The fruit of Sodom will$1$ impair, 151:47,010[A ]| And perish at the touch: 151:47,011[A ]| In$4$ being then in$4$ fancy Less, 151:47,012[A ]| And we expect more than possess. 151:47,013[A ]| For$3$ by$4$ our pleasures we are cloyed, 151:47,014[A ]| And so$5#2$ desire is done; 151:47,015[A ]| Or else, like$4$ Rivers, they make wide 151:47,016[A ]| The Channels where they run: 151:47,017[A ]| And either way true bliss destroys, 151:47,018[A ]| Making us narrow, or our joys. 151:47,019[A ]| We covet pleasure easily, 151:47,020[A ]| But it not so$5#2$ possess; 151:47,021[A ]| For$3$ many things must make it be, 151:47,022[A ]| But one may make it less. 151:47,023[A ]| Nay, were our state as we could choose it, 151:47,024[A ]| It would be consumed by$4$ fear to$9$ lose it. 151:47,025[A ]| What art thou then, thou winged air, 151:47,026[A ]| More swift and weak than fame? 151:47,027[A ]| Whose next successor is despair, 151:47,028[A ]| And its attendant shame. 151:47,029[A ]| The experienced Prince then reason had, 151:47,030[A ]| Who$6#1$ said of Pleasure, it is Mad. 151:48,000[' ]| 151:48,000[' ]| 151:48,001[A ]| Thrice happy he whose name is wrote above, 151:48,002[A ]| Who$6#1$ doeth good, though gaining infamy, 151:48,003[A ]| Requiteth evil turns with hearty love, 151:48,004[A ]| And recks not what befalls him outwardly;

151:54,023[A ]| And thou, at thy return, shalt find thy heart 151:54,024[A ]| Still safe, with all the Love thou didst impart: 151:54,025[A ]| For$3$ though that$6#2$ treasure I have never deserved, 151:54,026[A ]| It shall with strong religion be preserved. 151:54,027[A ]| But besides this thou shalt in$4$ me survey 151:54,028[A ]| Thyself reflected while thou art away: 151:54,029[A ]| For$3$ what some forward arts do undertake, 151:54,030[A ]| The images of absent friends to$9$ make, 151:54,031[A ]| And represent their actions in$4$ a Glass, 151:54,032[A ]| Friendship itself can only bring to$9$ pass: 151:54,033[A ]| That$6#2$ magic which$6#1$ both fate and time beguiles, 151:54,034[A ]| And in$4$ a moment runs a thousand miles. 151:54,035[A ]| So$3$ in$4$ my breast thy Picture drawn shall be, 151:54,036[A ]| My guide, life, object, friend, and destiny: 151:54,037[A ]| And none shall know, though they employ their wit, 151:54,038[A ]| Which$6#1$ is the right Antenor, thou, or it. 151:55,000[' ]| 151:55,000[' ]| 151:55,001[A ]| Here what remains of him does lie, 151:55,002[A ]| Who$6#1$ was the world's epitome: 151:55,003[A ]| Religion's darling, merchants' glory, 151:55,004[A ]| Men's delight, and virtue's story. 151:55,005[A ]| Who$6#1$, though a Prisoner to$4$ the Grave, 151:55,006[A ]| A glorious freedom once shall have: 151:55,007[A ]| Till when no$2$ monument is fit, 151:55,008[A ]| But what is beyond our Love or Wit. 151:56,000[' ]| 151:56,000[' ]| 151:56,001[A ]| Virtue's blossom, beauty's bud, 151:56,002[A ]| The pride of all that$6#1$ is fair and good, 151:56,003[A ]| By$4$ death's fierce hand was snatched hence 151:56,004[A ]| In$4$ her state of innocence: 151:56,005[A ]| Who$6#1$ by$4$ it this advantage gains, 151:56,006[A ]| Her wages got without her pains. 151:57,000[' ]| 151:57,001[A ]| Let the dull brutish world that$6#1$ know not love 151:57,002[A ]| Continue heretics, and disapprove 151:57,003[A ]| That$6#2$ noble flame; but the refined know 151:57,004[A ]| It is all the heaven we have here below. 151:57,005[A ]| Nature subsists by$4$ Love, and they tie 151:57,006[A ]| Things to$4$ their causes but by$4$ Sympathy. 151:57,007[A ]| Love chains the differing Elements in$4$ one 151:57,008[A ]| Great harmony, linked to$4$ the heavenly throne; 151:57,009[A ]| And as on$4$ Earth, so$3$ the blest choir above 151:57,010[A ]| Of Saints and Angels are maintained by$4$ love; 151:57,011[A ]| That$6#2$ is their business and felicity, 151:57,012[A ]| And will$1$ be so$5#2$ to$4$ all eternity. 151:57,013[A ]| That$6#2$ is the Ocean, our affections here 151:57,014[A ]| Are but streams borrowed from the fountain there; 151:57,015[A ]| And it is the noblest argument to$9$ prove 151:57,016[A ]| A beauteous mind, that$3$ it knows how to$9$ love. 151:57,017[A ]| Those kind impressions which$6#1$ fate can not control, 151:57,018[A ]| Are heaven's mintage on$4$ a worthy soul; 151:57,019[A ]| For$3$ love is all the arts' epitome, 151:57,020[A ]| And is the summ of all divinity. 151:57,021[A ]| He is worse than beast that$6#1$ can not love, and yet 151:57,022[A ]| It is not bought by$4$ money, pains or wit; 151:57,023[A ]| So$3$ no$2$ chance nor design can spirits move, 151:57,024[A ]| But the eternal destiny of Love. 151:57,025[A ]| For$3$ when two souls are changed and mixed so$5#2$, 151:57,026[A ]| It is what they and none but they can do; 151:57,027[A ]| And this is friendship, that$6#2$ abstracted flame 151:57,028[A ]| Which$6#1$ creeping mortals know not how to$9$ name. 151:57,029[A ]| All Love is sacred, and the marriage tie 151:57,030[A ]| Hath much of Honour and divinity; 151:57,031[A ]| But Lust, design, or some unworthy ends 151:57,032[A ]| May mingle there, which$6#1$ are despised by$4$ friends. 151:57,033[A ]| Passion hath violent extremes, and thus 151:57,034[A ]| All oppositions are contiguous. 151:57,035[A ]| So$3$ when the end is served the Love will$1$ abate, 151:57,036[A ]| If friendship make it not more fortunate: 151:57,037[A ]| Friendship! that$6#2$ Love's Elixir, that$6#2$ pure fire 151:57,038[A ]| Which$6#1$ burns the clearer because it burns the higher; 151:57,039[A ]| For$3$ Love, like$4$ earthy fires (which$6#1$ will$1$ decay 151:57,040[A ]| If the material fuel be away) 151:57,041[A ]| Is with offensive smoke accompanied, 151:57,042[A ]| And by$4$ resistance only is supplied: 151:57,043[A ]| But friendship, like$4$ the fiery element, 151:57,044[A ]| With its own heat and nourishment content, 151:57,045[A ]| (Where neither hurt, nor smoke, nor noise is made) 151:57,046[A ]| Scorns the assistance of a foreign aid. 151:57,047[A ]| Friendship (like$4$ Heraldry) is hereby known: 151:57,048[A ]| Richest when plainest, bravest when alone; 151:57,049[A ]| Calm as a Virgin, and more innocent 151:57,050[A ]| Than sleeping Doves are, and as much content 151:57,051[A ]| As saints in$4$ visions; quiet as the night, 151:57,052[A ]| But cleare and open as the summer's light; 151:57,053[A ]| United more than spirits' faculties, 151:57,054[A ]| Higher in$4$ thoughts than are the Eagle's eyes; 151:57,055[A ]| Free as first agents are true friends, and kind, 151:57,056[A ]| As but themselves I can no$2$ likeness find. 151:58,000[' ]| 151:58,001[A ]| If we no$2$ old historian's name 151:58,002[A ]| Authentic will$1$ admit, 151:58,003[A ]| And think all said of friendship's fame 151:58,004[A ]| But poetry and wit: 151:58,005[A ]| Yet what is revered by$4$ minds so$5#1$ pure 151:58,006[A ]| Must be a bright Idea, sure. 151:58,007[A ]| But as our immortality 151:58,008[A ]| By$4$ inward sense we find, 151:58,009[A ]| Judging that$3$ if it could not be, 151:58,010[A ]| It would not be designed: 151:58,011[A ]| So$3$ here how could such copies fall, 151:58,012[A ]| If there were no$2$ original? 151:58,013[A ]| But if truth be in$4$ ancient song, 151:58,014[A ]| Or story we believe, 151:58,015[A ]| If the inspired and greater throng 151:58,016[A ]| Have scorned to$9$ deceive; 151:58,017[A ]| There have been hearts whose friendship gave 151:58,018[A ]| Them thoughts at once both soft and brave. 151:58,019[A ]| Among that$6#2$ consecrated few, 151:58,020[A ]| Some more seraphic shade 151:58,021[A ]| Lend me a favourable clue, 151:58,022[A ]| Now mists my eyes invade, 151:58,023[A ]| Why, having filled the world with fame, 151:58,024[A ]| Left you so$5#1$ little of your flame? 151:58,025[A ]| Why is it so$5#1$ difficult to$9$ see 151:58,026[A ]| Two bodies and one mind? 151:58,027[A ]| And why are those who$6#1$ else agree 151:58,028[A ]| So$5#1$ differently kind? 151:58,029[A ]| Hath nature such fantastic art, 151:58,030[A ]| That$3$ she can vary every heart? 151:58,031[A ]| Why are the bonds of friendship tied 151:58,032[A ]| With so$5#1$ remiss a knot, 151:58,033[A ]| That$3$ by$4$ the most it is defied, 151:58,034[A ]| And by$4$ the rest forgot? 151:58,035[A ]| Why do we step with so$5#1$ slight sense 151:58,036[A ]| From friendship to$4$ indifference? 151:58,037[A ]| If friendship sympathy impart, 151:58,038[A ]| Why this ill shuffled game, 151:58,039[A ]| That$3$ heart can never meet with heart, 151:58,040[A ]| Or flame encounter flame? 151:58,041[A ]| What doth this cruelty create? 151:58,042[A ]| Is it the intrigue of love or fate? 151:58,043[A ]| Had friendship never been known to$4$ men, 151:58,044[A ]| (The ghost at last confessed) 151:58,045[A ]| The world had been a stranger then 151:58,046[A ]| To$4$ all that$6#1$ Heaven possessed. 151:58,047[A ]| But could it all be here acquired, 151:58,048[A ]| Not heaven itself would be desired. 151:59,000[' ]| 151:59,000[' ]| 151:59,001[A ]| O! my Lucasia, let us speak our Love, 151:59,002[A ]| And think not that$6#2$ impertinent can be, 151:59,003[A ]| Which$6#1$ to$4$ us both does such assurance prove, 151:59,004[A ]| And whence we find how justly we agree. 151:59,005[A ]| Before we knew the treasures of our Love, 151:59,006[A ]| Our noble aims our joys did entertain; 151:59,007[A ]| And shall enjoyment nothing them improve? 151:59,008[A ]| It were best for$4$ us then to$9$ begin again! 151:59,009[A ]| Now we have gained, we must not stop, and sleep 151:59,010[A ]| Out all the rest of Our mysterious reign: 151:59,011[A ]| It is as hard and glorious to$9$ keep 151:59,012[A ]| A Victory, as it was to$9$ obtain. 151:59,013[A ]| Nay, to$4$ what end did we first barter minds, 151:59,014[A ]| Only to$9$ know and to$9$ neglect the claims? 151:59,015[A ]| Or (like$4$ some wanton) our pride pleasure finds 151:59,016[A ]| To$9$ throw away the thing at which$6#1$ we aim. 151:59,017[A ]| If this be all our friendship does design, 151:59,018[A ]| We covet not enjoyment then, but power: 151:59,019[A ]| To$4$ our Opinion we our bliss confine, 151:59,020[A ]| And love to$9$ have, but not to$9$ smell, the flower. 151:59,021[A ]| Ah! no$7$, let misers bury thus their gold, 151:59,022[A ]| Who$6#1$ though they starve, no$2$ farthing will$1$ produce: 151:59,023[A ]| But we loved to$9$ enjoy and to$9$ behold, 151:59,024[A ]| And sure we can not spend our stock by$4$ use. 151:59,025[A ]| Think not it is needless to$9$ repeat desires; 151:59,026[A ]| The fervent Turtles always court and bill, 151:59,027[A ]| And yet their spotless passion never tires, 151:59,028[A ]| But does increase by$4$ repetition still. 151:59,029[A ]| Although we know we love, yet while our soul 151:59,030[A ]| Is thus imprisoned by$4$ the flesh we wear, 151:59,031[A ]| There is no$2$ way left that$6#2$ bondage to$9$ control, 151:59,032[A ]| But to$9$ convey transactions through the Ear. 151:59,033[A ]| Nay, though we read our passions in$4$ the Eye, 151:59,034[A ]| It will$1$ oblige and please to$9$ tell them too: 151:59,035[A ]| Such joys as these by$4$ motion multiply, 151:59,036[A ]| Were it but to$9$ find that$3$ our souls told us true. 151:59,037[A ]| Believe not then, that$3$ being now secure 151:59,038[A ]| Of either's heart, we have no$2$ more to$9$ do: 151:59,039[A ]| The Spheres themselves by$4$ motion do endure, 151:59,040[A ]| And they move on$5$ by$4$ Circulation too. 151:59,041[A ]| And as a River, when it once has paid 151:59,042[A ]| The tribute which$6#1$ it to$4$ the Ocean owes, 151:59,043[A ]| Stops not, but turns, and having curled and played 151:59,044[A ]| On$4$ its own waves, the shore it overflows: 151:59,045[A ]| So$3$ the Soul's motion does not end in$4$ bliss, 151:59,046[A ]| But on$4$ herself she scatters and dilates, 151:59,047[A ]| And on$4$ the Object doubles, till by$4$ this 151:59,048[A ]| She finds new joys, which$6#1$ that$6#2$ reflux creates. 151:59,049[A ]| But then because it can not all contain, 151:59,050[A ]| It seeks a vent by$4$ telling the glad news, 151:59,051[A ]| First to$4$ the heart which$6#1$ did its joys obtain, 151:59,052[A ]| Then to$4$ the heart which$6#1$ did those joys produce. 151:59,053[A ]| When my Soul then does such excursions make, 151:59,054[A ]| (Unless thy soul delight to$9$ meet it too) 151:59,055[A ]| What satisfaction can it give or take, 151:59,056[A ]| Thou being absent at the interview? 151:59,057[A ]| It is not distrust; for$3$ were that$6#2$ plea allowed, 151:59,058[A ]| Letters and visits all would useless grow: 151:59,059[A ]| Love's whole expression then would be its Cloud, 151:59,060[A ]| And it would be refindd to$4$ nothing so$5#2$. 151:59,061[A ]| If I distrust, it is my own worth for$4$ thee, 151:59,062[A ]| It is my own fitness of a love like$4$ thine; 151:59,063[A ]| And therefore still new evidence would see, 151:59,064[A ]| To$9$ assure my wonder that$3$ thou canst be mine. 151:59,065[A ]| But as the morning Sun to$4$ drooping flowers, 151:59,066[A ]| As weary Travellers a shade do find, 151:59,067[A ]| As to$4$ the parched Violet Evening showers; 151:59,068[A ]| Such is to$4$ me from thee a look that$6#1$ is kind. 151:59,069[A ]| But when that$6#2$ look is dressed in$4$ words, it is like$4$ 151:59,070[A ]| The mystic power of music's Unison; 151:59,071[A ]| Which$6#1$ when the finger does one Viol strike, 151:59,072[A ]| The other's string heaves to$4$ reflection. 151:59,073[A ]| Be kind to$4$ me, and just then to$4$ our love, 151:59,074[A ]| To$4$ which$6#1$ we owe our free and dear converse; 151:59,075[A ]| And let not tract of time wear or remove 151:59,076[A ]| It from the privilege of that$6#2$ commerce. 151:59,077[A ]| Tyrants do banish what they can not requite: 151:59,078[A ]| But let us never know such mean desires; 151:59,079[A ]| But to$9$ be grateful to$4$ that$6#2$ love delight 151:59,080[A ]| Which$6#1$ all our joys and noble thoughts inspires. 151:60,000[' ]| 151:60,001[A ]| A chosen privacy, a cheap content, 151:60,002[A ]| And all the peace which$6#1$ friendship ever lent, 151:60,003[A ]| A rock which$6#1$ civil nature made a seat, 151:60,004[A ]| A willow that$6#1$ repulses all the heat, 151:60,005[A ]| The beauteous quiet of a Summer's day, 151:60,006[A ]| A brook which$6#1$ sobbed aloud and ran away, 151:60,007[A ]| Invited my repose; and then conspired 151:60,008[A ]| To$9$ entertain my fancy thus retired. 151:60,009[A ]| As Lucian's Ferry-man aloft did view 151:60,010[A ]| The angry world, and then laughed at it too: 151:60,011[A ]| So$3$ all its sullen follies seemed to$4$ me 151:60,012[A ]| But as a too well acted Tragedy. 151:60,013[A ]| One dangerous ambition does befool, 151:60,014[A ]| Another envy to$9$ see that$6#2$ man rule: 151:60,015[A ]| One makes his Love the parent of his rage, 151:60,016[A ]| For$4$ private friendship publicly to$9$ engage: 151:60,017[A ]| And some for$4$ Conscience, some for$4$ Honour die; 151:60,018[A ]| And some are meanly killed, they know not why. 151:60,019[A ]| More different than men's faces are their ends, 151:60,020[A ]| Whom yet one common ruin can make friends: 151:60,021[A ]| Death, dust and darkness they have only won, 151:60,022[A ]| And hastily unto their periods run. 151:60,023[A ]| Death is a Leveller; beauty, and kings, 151:60,024[A ]| And conquerors, and all those glorious things, 151:60,025[A ]| Are tumbled to$4$ their graves in$4$ one rude heap, 151:60,026[A ]| Like$4$ common dust, as quiet and as cheap! 151:60,027[A ]| At greater changes who$6#2$ would wonder then, 151:60,028[A ]| Since Kingdoms have their fates as well as men? 151:60,029[A ]| They must fall sick and die; nothing can be 151:60,030[A ]| In$4$ this world certain, but uncertainty. 151:60,031[A ]| Since power and greatness are such slippery things, 151:60,032[A ]| Who$6#2$ would pity cottages, or envy Kings? 151:60,033[A ]| Now least of all, when, weary of deceit, 151:60,034[A ]| The world no$2$ longer flatters with the great. 151:60,035[A ]| Though such confusions Here below we find, 151:60,036[A ]| As Providence were wanton with Mankind: 151:60,037[A ]| Yet in$4$ this chaos some things do send forth, 151:60,038[A ]| Like$4$ Jewels in$4$ the dark, a native worth. 151:60,039[A ]| He that$6#1$ derives his high nobillity 151:60,040[A ]| Not from the mention of a Pedigree; 151:60,041[A ]| Who$6#1$ thinks it not his praise that$3$ others know 151:60,042[A ]| His Ancestors were gallant long ago; 151:60,043[A ]| Who$6#1$ scorns to$9$ boast the glories of his blood, 151:60,044[A ]| And thinks he can not be great that$6#1$ is not good; 151:60,045[A ]| Who$6#1$ knows the world, and what we pleasure call, 151:60,046[A ]| Yet can not sell one conscience for$4$ them all; 151:60,047[A ]| Who$6#1$ hates to$9$ hoard that$6#2$ gold with an excuse, 151:60,048[A ]| For$4$ which$6#1$ he can find out a nobler use; 151:60,049[A ]| Who$6#1$ dares not keep that$6#2$ life that$6#1$ he can spend, 151:60,050[A ]| To$9$ serve his god, his country, and his friend; 151:60,051[A ]| Treachery and Flattery doth so$5#1$ much hate, 151:60,052[A ]| He would not buy ten lives at such a rate; 151:60,053[A ]| Whose soul, than Diamonds more rich and clear, 151:60,054[A ]| Native and open as his face doth wear; 151:60,055[A ]| Who$6#1$ dares be good alone in$4$ such a time, 151:60,056[A ]| When virtue is held and punished as a crime; 151:60,057[A ]| Who$6#1$ thinks dark crooked plots a mean defence, 151:60,058[A ]| And is both safe and wise in$4$ innocence; 151:60,059[A ]| Who$6#1$ dares both fight and die, but dares not fear; 151:60,060[A ]| Whose only doubt is, if his cause be clear; 151:60,061[A ]| Whose courage and his justice equal-worn, 151:60,062[A ]| Can dangers grapple, overcome and scorn, 151:60,063[A ]| Yet not insult upon$4$ a fallen Foe, 151:60,064[A ]| But can forgive him and oblige him too; 151:60,065[A ]| Whose Friendship is congenial with his Soul, 151:60,066[A ]| Who$6#1$ where he gives a heart bestows it whole; 151:60,067[A ]| Whose other ties and titles here do end, 151:60,068[A ]| Or buried or completed in$4$ the Friend; 151:60,069[A ]| Who$6#1$ never resumes the Soul he once did give, 151:60,070[A ]| While his friend's constancy and honour live; 151:60,071[A ]| And if his friend's content could cost that$6#2$ price, 151:60,072[A ]| Would count himself a happy sacrifice;

151:61,007[A ]| Till pride exchanged peace for$4$ strife, 151:61,008[A ]| And happiness for$4$ pelf. 151:61,009[A ]| It was here the poets were inspired, 151:61,010[A ]| And sang their mysteries, 151:61,011[A ]| And while the listening world admired, 151:61,012[A ]| Men's minds did civilize. 151:61,013[A ]| That$6#2$ golden age did entertain 151:61,014[A ]| No$2$ passion but of love; 151:61,015[A ]| The thoughts of ruling or of gain 151:61,016[A ]| Did never their fancies move. 151:61,017[A ]| None then did envy neighbour's wealth, 151:61,018[A ]| Nor plot to$9$ wrong his bed: 151:61,019[A ]| Happy in$4$ friendship and in$4$ health, 151:61,020[A ]| On$4$ roots, not beasts, they fed. 151:61,021[A ]| They knew no$2$ law nor physic then, 151:61,022[A ]| Nature was all their wit; 151:61,023[A ]| And if there yet remain to$4$ men 151:61,024[A ]| Content, sure this is it. 151:61,025[A ]| What blessing doth this world afford 151:61,026[A ]| To$9$ tempt or bribe desire? 151:61,027[A ]| Her courtship is all fire and sword, 151:61,028[A ]| Who$6#2$ would not then retire? 151:61,029[A ]| Then welcome dearest solitude, 151:61,030[A ]| My great felicity;

151:61,039[A ]| I have a better fate than Kings, 151:61,040[A ]| Because I think it so$5#2$. 151:61,041[A ]| When all the stormy world doth roar, 151:61,042[A ]| How unconcerned am I? 151:61,043[A ]| I can not fear to$9$ tumble lower 151:61,044[A ]| That$6#1$ never would be high. 151:61,045[A ]| Secure in$4$ these unenvied walls 151:61,046[A ]| I think not on$4$ the state, 151:61,047[A ]| And pity no$2$ man's case that$6#1$ falls 151:61,048[A ]| From his ambition's height. 151:61,049[A ]| Silence and Innocence are safe; 151:61,050[A ]| A heart that$6#1$ is nobly true 151:61,051[A ]| At all these little arts can laugh 151:61,052[A ]| That$6#1$ do the world subdue. 151:61,053[A ]| While others revel it in$4$ state, 151:61,054[A ]| Here I will$1$ contented sit, 151:61,055[A ]| And think I have as good a fate 151:61,056[A ]| As wealth or pomp admit. 151:61,057[A ]| Let some in$4$ Courtship take delight, 151:61,058[A ]| And to$4$ the exchange resort; 151:61,059[A ]| There revel out a winter's night, 151:61,060[A ]| Not making love, but sport. 151:61,061[A ]| These never knew a noble flame, 151:61,062[A ]| It is lust, scorn, or designs: 151:61,063[A ]| While Vanity plays all their game, 151:61,064[A ]| Let peace and honour mine. 151:61,065[A ]| When the inviting spring appears, 151:61,066[A ]| To$4$ Hide*parke let them go, 151:61,067[A ]| And hasting thence be full of fears 151:61,068[A ]| To$9$ lose Spring garden show. 151:61,069[A ]| Let others (nobler) seek to$9$ gain 151:61,070[A ]| In$4$ knowledge happy fate, 151:61,071[A ]| And others busy them in$4$ vain 151:61,072[A ]| To$9$ study ways of state. 151:61,073[A ]| But I, resolved from within, 151:61,074[A ]| Confirmed from without, 151:61,075[A ]| In$4$ privacy intend to$9$ spin 151:61,076[A ]| My future minutes out. 151:61,077[A ]| I from this hermitage of mine 151:61,078[A ]| Do banish all wild toys, 151:61,079[A ]| And nothing that$6#1$ is not divine 151:61,080[A ]| Shall dare to$9$ tempt my joys. 151:61,081[A ]| There are below but two things good, 151:61,082[A ]| Friendship and honesty, 151:61,083[A ]| And only these of all I would 151:61,084[A ]| Ask for$4$ felicity. 151:61,085[A ]| In$4$ this retired integrity, 151:61,086[A ]| Free from both war and noise, 151:61,087[A ]| I live not by$4$ necessity, 151:61,088[A ]| But wholly by$4$ my choice. 151:62,000[' ]| 151:62,001[A ]| Dry up$5$ your tears, there is enough shed by$4$ you, 151:62,002[A ]| And we must pay our shares of sorrow too. 151:62,003[A ]| It is no$2$ private loss: when such men fall 151:62,004[A ]| The world is concerned, and grief is general. 151:62,005[A ]| But though of our misfortune we complain, 151:62,006[A ]| To$4$ him it is injurious and Vain. 151:62,007[A ]| For$3$ since we know his rich integrity, 151:62,008[A ]| His real sweetness, and full harmony; 151:62,009[A ]| How free his heart and house were to$4$ his friends, 151:62,010[A ]| Whom he obliged without design or ends; 151:62,011[A ]| How universal was his courtesy, 151:62,012[A ]| How clear a Soul, how even, and how high; 151:62,013[A ]| How much he scorned disguise and meaner arts, 151:62,014[A ]| But with a native honour conquered hearts; 151:62,015[A ]| We must conclude he was a treasure lent, 151:62,016[A ]| Soon weary of this sordid tenement. 151:62,017[A ]| The age and World deserved him not, and he 151:62,018[A ]| Was kindly snatched from future misery. 151:62,019[A ]| We can scarce say he is dead, but gone to$4$ rest, 151:62,020[A ]| And left a Monument in$4$ every Breast. 151:62,021[A ]| For$3$ you to$9$ grieve then in$4$ this sad excess, 151:62,022[A ]| Is not to$9$ speak your Love, but make it less. 151:62,023[A ]| A noble soul no$2$ friendship will$1$ admit, 151:62,024[A ]| But what is eternal and divine as it. 151:62,025[A ]| The soul at first is hid in$4$ flesh we know, 151:62,026[A ]| And all its weaknesses must undergo, 151:62,027[A ]| Till by$4$ degrees it does shine forth at length, 151:62,028[A ]| And gathers Beauty, Purity, and Strength: 151:62,029[A ]| But never doth this rich immortal Ray 151:62,030[A ]| Put on$5$ full splendour till it put off clay. 151:62,031[A ]| So$3$ infant love is in$4$ the worthiest breast 151:62,032[A ]| By$4$ sense and passion fettered and oppressed; 151:62,033[A ]| But by$4$ degrees it grows still more refined, 151:62,034[A ]| And scorning clogs, only concerns the mind. 151:62,035[A ]| Now as the Soul you loved here is set free 151:62,036[A ]| From its material gross captivity; 151:62,037[A ]| Your Love should follow him, now he is gone, 151:62,038[A ]| And quitting passion put perfection on$5$. 151:62,039[A ]| Such love as this will$1$ its own good deny, 151:62,040[A ]| If its dear object have felicity; 151:62,041[A ]| And since we can not his great loss reprieve, 151:62,042[A ]| Let us not lose you in$4$ whom he still does live: 151:62,043[A ]| For$3$ while you are by$4$ grief secluded thus, 151:62,044[A ]| It doth appear your funeral to$4$ us. 151:63,000[' ]| 151:63,000[' ]| 151:63,000[' ]| 151:63,001[A ]| As when the ancient world by$4$ reason Lived, 151:63,002[A ]| The Asian Monarchs' deaths were never grieved; 151:63,003[A ]| Their glorious Lives made all their subjects call 151:63,004[A ]| Their rites a Triumph, not a Funeral: 151:63,005[A ]| So$3$ still the good are Princes, and their fate 151:63,006[A ]| Invites us not to$9$ weep, but imitate. 151:63,007[A ]| Nature intends a progress, and each stage 151:63,008[A ]| Whereby weak man creeps to$4$ succeeding age, 151:63,009[A ]| Ripens him for$4$ that$6#2$ change to$4$ which$6#1$ he is made, 151:63,010[A ]| Where the active Soul is in$4$ her centre laid. 151:63,011[A ]| And since none stripped of infancy complain, 151:63,012[A ]| Because it is both their necessity and gain: 151:63,013[A ]| So$3$ age and death by$4$ slow approaches come, 151:63,014[A ]| But by$4$ that$6#2$ just inevitable doom 151:63,015[A ]| By$4$ which$6#1$ the soul, her drossy clog once gone, 151:63,016[A ]| Puts on$5$ perfection, and resumes her own. 151:63,017[A ]| Since then we mourn a happy soul, O! why 151:63,018[A ]| Disturb we her with erring piety? 151:63,019[A ]| Who$6#2$ is so$5#1$ enamoured on$4$ the beauteous ground, 151:63,020[A ]| When with the Autumn's Livery hung round, 151:63,021[A ]| As to$9$ deny a sickle to$4$ his grain, 151:63,022[A ]| And not undress the teeming Earth again? 151:63,023[A ]| Fruits grow for$4$ use, mankind is born to$9$ die; 151:63,024[A ]| And both fates have the same necessity. 151:63,025[A ]| Then grieve no$2$ more, sad relatives, but learn; 151:63,026[A ]| Sigh not, but profit by$4$ your just concern. 151:63,027[A ]| Read over her Life's volume: wise and good, 151:63,028[A ]| Not because she must be so$5#2$, but because she would. 151:63,029[A ]| To$4$ chosen virtue still a constant Friend, 151:63,030[A ]| She saw the times which$6#1$ changed, but did not mend; 151:63,031[A ]| And as some are so$5#1$ civil to$4$ the sun, 151:63,032[A ]| They would fix his beams, and make the Earth to$9$ run: 151:63,033[A ]| So$3$ she unmoved beheld the angry Fate 151:63,034[A ]| Which$6#1$ tore a church, and overthrew a State: 151:63,035[A ]| Still durst be good, and own that$6#2$ noble truth 151:63,036[A ]| To$9$ crown her age, which$6#1$ had adorned her youth. 151:63,037[A ]| Great without pride! a soul which$6#1$ still could be 151:63,038[A ]| Humble and high, full of calm Majesty. 151:63,039[A ]| She kept true State within, and could not buy 151:63,040[A ]| Her satisfaction with her charity. 151:63,041[A ]| Fortunes or birth never raised her mind, which$6#1$ stood, 151:63,042[A ]| Not on$4$ her being rich, but doing good: 151:63,043[A ]| Obliged the world, but yet would scorn to$9$ be 151:63,044[A ]| Paid with requitals, thanks or Vanity. 151:63,045[A ]| How oft did she what all the wise adore, 151:63,046[A ]| Make the poor happy with her useful store? 151:63,047[A ]| So$5#1$ general was her bounty that$3$ she gave 151:63,048[A ]| Equality to$4$ all before the Grave; 151:63,049[A ]| By$4$ several means she different persons tied, 151:63,050[A ]| Who$6#1$ by$4$ her goodness only were allied. 151:63,051[A ]| Her virtue was her temper, not her Fit; 151:63,052[A ]| Feared nothing but the crimes which$6#1$ some commit; 151:63,053[A ]| Scorned those dark arts which$6#1$ pass for$4$ wisdom now, 151:63,054[A ]| Nor to$4$ a mean ignoble thing could bow. 151:63,055[A ]| And her vast prudence had no$2$ other end, 151:63,056[A ]| But to$9$ forgive a foe, endear a friend: 151:63,057[A ]| To$9$ use but slight the world, and fixed above, 151:63,058[A ]| Shine down in$4$ beams of Piety and Love. 151:63,059[A ]| Why should we then by$4$ poor unjust complaint 151:63,060[A ]| Prove envious sinners because she is a Saint? 151:63,061[A ]| Close then the Monument! and not a Tear 151:63,062[A ]| That$6#1$ may profane her Ashes now appear: 151:63,063[A ]| For$3$ her best obsequies are that$3$ we be 151:63,064[A ]| Prudent and good, noble and sweet, as She. 151:64,000[' ]| 151:64,001[A ]| Love, nature's plot, this great Creation's soul, 151:64,002[A ]| The being and the Harmony of things, 151:64,003[A ]| Doth still preserve and propagate the whole, 151:64,004[A ]| From whence man's happiness and safety springs: 151:64,005[A ]| The earliest, whitest, blessedst times did draw 151:64,006[A ]| From her alone their Universal Law. 151:64,007[A ]| Friendship is abstract of this noble flame, 151:64,008[A ]| It is love refined and purged from all its dross, 151:64,009[A ]| The next to$4$ Angels' Love, if not the same, 151:64,010[A ]| Stronger than passion is, though not so$5#1$ gross: 151:64,011[A ]| It antedates a glad Eternity, 151:64,012[A ]| And is a heaven in$4$ Epitome. 151:64,013[A ]| Nobler than kindred or than marriage band, 151:64,014[A ]| Because more free; wedlock felicity 151:64,015[A ]| Itself doth only by$4$ this Union stand, 151:64,016[A ]| And turns to$4$ friendship or to$4$ misery. 151:64,017[A ]| Force or design matches to$9$ pass may bring, 151:64,018[A ]| But Friendship doth from love and honour spring. 151:64,019[A ]| If no$2$ souls no$2$ sexes have, for$3$ men to$9$ exclude 151:64,020[A ]| Women from friendship's vast capacity, 151:64,021[A ]| Is a design injurious and rude, 151:64,022[A ]| Only maintained by$4$ partial tyranny. 151:64,023[A ]| Love is allowed to$4$ us, and Innocence, 151:64,024[A ]| And noblest friendships do proceed from thence. 151:64,025[A ]| The chiefest thing in$4$ Friends is Sympathy: 151:64,026[A ]| There is a secret fate does friendship guide, 151:64,027[A ]| Which$6#1$ made two souls before they know agree, 151:64,028[A ]| Who$6#1$ by$4$ a thousand mixtures are allied, 151:64,029[A ]| And changed and lost, so$3$ that$3$ it is not known 151:64,030[A ]| Within which$6#1$ Breast doth now reside their own. 151:64,031[A ]| Essential honour must be in$4$ a Friend, 151:64,032[A ]| Not such as every breath fans to$8$ and fro; 151:64,033[A ]| But born Within, is its own judge and end, 151:64,034[A ]| And dares not sin though sure that$3$ none should know. 151:64,035[A ]| Where Friendship is spake, honesty is understood; 151:64,036[A ]| For$3$ none can be a friend that$6#1$ is not good. 151:64,037[A ]| Friendship doth carry more than common trust 151:64,038[A ]| And treachery is here the greatest Sin: 151:64,039[A ]| Secrets deposed then none ever must 151:64,040[A ]| Presume to$9$ open, but who$6#1$ put them in$5$. 151:64,041[A ]| They that$6#1$ in$4$ one Chest lay up$5$ all their stock, 151:64,042[A ]| Had need be sure that$3$ none can pick the lock. 151:64,043[A ]| A Breast too open a friendship does not love, 151:64,044[A ]| For$3$ that$6#2$ the other's trust will$1$ not conceal; 151:64,045[A ]| Nor one too much reserved can it approve, 151:64,046[A ]| Its own condition this will$1$ not reveal. 151:64,047[A ]| We empty passions for$4$ a double end, 151:64,048[A ]| To$9$ be refreshed and Guarded by$4$ a friend. 151:64,049[A ]| Wisdome and knowledge friendship does require, 151:64,050[A ]| The first for$4$ counsel, this for$4$ Company; 151:64,051[A ]| And though not mainly, yet we may desire 151:64,052[A ]| Both Complaisance and ingenuity. 151:64,053[A ]| Though everything may love, yet it is a rule, 151:64,054[A ]| He can not be a friend that$6#1$ is a fool. 151:64,055[A ]| Discretion uses parts, and best knows how; 151:64,056[A ]| And patience will$1$ all qualities commend: 151:64,057[A ]| That$6#2$ serves a need best, but this will$1$ allow 151:64,058[A ]| The weaknesses and passions of a Friend. 151:64,059[A ]| We are not yet come to$4$ the Choir above: 151:64,060[A ]| Who$6#1$ can not pardon here, can never love. 151:64,061[A ]| Thick waters show no$2$ images of things; 151:64,062[A ]| Friends are each other's Mirrors, and should be 151:64,063[A ]| Clearer than Crystal or the Mountain-springs, 151:64,064[A ]| And free from clouds, design or flattery. 151:64,065[A ]| For$3$ vulgar souls no$2$ part of friendship share: 151:64,066[A ]| Poets and friends are born to$4$ what they are. 151:64,067[A ]| Friends should observe and chide each other's fault, 151:64,068[A ]| To$9$ be severe then is most just and kind; 151:64,069[A ]| Nothing can escape their search who$6#1$ know the thought: 151:64,070[A ]| This they should give and take with equal mind. 151:64,071[A ]| For$3$ friendship, when this freedom is denied, 151:64,072[A ]| Is like$4$ a Painter when his hands are tied. 151:64,073[A ]| A friend should find out each necessity, 151:64,074[A ]| And then unasked relieve it at any rate: 151:64,075[A ]| It is not friendship, but formality, 151:64,076[A ]| To$9$ be desired; for$3$ kindness keeps no$2$ state. 151:64,077[A ]| Of friends he doth the benefactor prove, 151:64,078[A ]| That$6#1$ gives his friend a means to$9$ express his Love. 151:64,079[A ]| Absence doth not from Friendship's rites excuse: 151:64,080[A ]| They who$6#1$ preserve each other's heart and fame, 151:64,081[A ]| Parting can never divide; it may diffuse, 151:64,082[A ]| (As liquors, which$6#1$ asunder are the same). 151:64,083[A ]| Though presence helped them at the first to$9$ greet, 151:64,084[A ]| Their souls know now without those aids to$9$ meet. 151:64,085[A ]| Constant and solid, whom no$2$ storms can shake, 151:64,086[A ]| Nor death unfix, a right friend ought to$9$ be; 151:64,087[A ]| And if condemned to$9$ survive, doth make 151:64,088[A ]| No$2$ second choice, but Grief and memory. 151:64,089[A ]| But friendship's best fate is, when it can spend 151:64,090[A ]| A life, A fortune, all to$9$ Serve a Friend. 151:65,000[' ]| 151:65,001[A ]| Order, by$4$ which$6#1$ all things were made, 151:65,002[A ]| And this great world's foundation laid, 151:65,003[A ]| Is nothing else but Harmony, 151:65,004[A ]| Where different parts are brought to$9$ agree. 151:65,005[A ]| As Empires are still best maintained 151:65,006[A ]| Those ways which$6#1$ first their greatness gained: 151:65,007[A ]| So$3$ in$4$ this Universal frame 151:65,008[A ]| What made and keeps it is the same. 151:65,009[A ]| Thus all things unto peace do tend; 151:65,010[A ]| Even discords have it for$4$ their end. 151:65,011[A ]| The cause why Elements do fight, 151:65,012[A ]| Is but their instinct to$9$ Unite. 151:65,013[A ]| Music could never please the sense 151:65,014[A ]| But by$4$ united excellence: 151:65,015[A ]| The sweetest note which$6#1$ numbers know, 151:65,016[A ]| If only struck, would tedious grow. 151:65,017[A ]| Man, the whole world's epitome, 151:65,018[A ]| Is by$4$ creation harmony. 151:65,019[A ]| It was sin first quarrelled in$4$ his breast, 151:65,020[A ]| Then made him angry with the rest. 151:65,021[A ]| But goodness keeps that$6#2$ Unity, 151:65,022[A ]| And Loves its own society 151:65,023[A ]| So$5#1$ well, that$3$ seldom is it known 151:65,024[A ]| The real worth to$9$ dwell alone. 151:65,025[A ]| And hence it is we friendship call 151:65,026[A ]| Not by$4$ one virtue's name, but all. 151:65,027[A ]| Nor is it when bad things agree 151:65,028[A ]| Thought, Union, but Conspiracy. 151:65,029[A ]| Nature and Grace, such enemies 151:65,030[A ]| That$3$ when one fell, the other did rise, 151:65,031[A ]| Are now by$4$ mercy even set, 151:65,032[A ]| As Stars in$4$ constellations met. 151:65,033[A ]| If nature were itself a sin, 151:65,034[A ]| Her author (God) had guilty been; 151:65,035[A ]| But man by$4$ sin contracting stain, 151:65,036[A ]| Shall (purged from that$6#2$) be clear again. 151:65,037[A ]| To$9$ prove that$3$ nature is excellent 151:65,038[A ]| Even sin itself is argument: 151:65,039[A ]| Therefore we nature's stain deplore, 151:65,040[A ]| Because itself was pure before. 151:65,041[A ]| And Grace destroys not, but refines, 151:65,042[A ]| Unveils the reason, then it shines; 151:65,043[A ]| Restores what was depressed by$4$ sin, 151:65,044[A ]| The fainting beam of God within. 151:65,045[A ]| The main-spring (Judgement) rectified, 151:65,046[A ]| Will$1$ all the Lesser motions guide, 151:65,047[A ]| To$9$ spend our Labour, Love and care, 151:65,048[A ]| Not as things seem, but as they are. 151:65,049[A ]| It is fancy Lost, wit thrown away, 151:65,050[A ]| In$4$ trifles to$9$ employ that$6#2$ Ray, 151:65,051[A ]| Which$6#1$ then doth in$4$ full Lustre shine 151:65,052[A ]| When both ingenious and Divine. 151:65,053[A ]| To$4$ eyes by$4$ humours vitiated 151:65,054[A ]| All things seem falsely coloured: 151:65,055[A ]| So$3$ it is our prejudicial thought 151:65,056[A ]| That$3$ makes clear objects seem in$4$ fault. 151:65,057[A ]| They scarce believe United good, 151:65,058[A ]| By$4$ whom it was never understood: 151:65,059[A ]| They think one Grace enough for$4$ one, 151:65,060[A ]| And it is because themselves have none. 151:65,061[A ]| We hunt extremes, and run so$5#1$ fast, 151:65,062[A ]| We can no$2$ steady judgement cast: 151:65,063[A ]| He best surveys the circuit round, 151:65,064[A ]| Who$6#1$ stands in$4$ the middle of the Ground. 151:65,065[A ]| That$6#2$ happy mean would let us see 151:65,066[A ]| Knowledge and meekness may agree; 151:65,067[A ]| And find, when each thing hath its name, 151:65,068[A ]| Passion and Zeal are not the same. 151:65,069[A ]| Who$6#1$ studies God doth upward fly, 151:65,070[A ]| And heights still lessen to$4$ our eye; 151:65,071[A ]| And he that$6#1$ knows himself will$1$ see 151:65,072[A ]| Vast cause for$4$ his humility. 151:65,073[A ]| For$3$ by$4$ that$6#2$ search it will$1$ be known 151:65,074[A ]| There is nothing but our Will$0$ our own: 151:65,075[A ]| And who$6#1$ doth that$6#2$ stock so$5#2$ employ, 151:65,076[A ]| But finds more cause for$4$ shame than joy. 151:65,077[A ]| We know so$5#1$ little and so$5#1$ dark, 151:65,078[A ]| And so$5#2$ extinguish our own spark, 151:65,079[A ]| That$3$ he who$6#1$ farthest here can go, 151:65,080[A ]| Knows nothing as he ought to$9$ know. 151:65,081[A ]| It will$1$ with the most learned suit 151:65,082[A ]| More to$9$ enquire than to$9$ dispute: 151:65,083[A ]| But vapours swell within a cloud, 151:65,084[A ]| And ignorance it is makes us proud. 151:65,085[A ]| So$3$ whom their own vain heart belies, 151:65,086[A ]| Like$4$ inflammations quickly rise: 151:65,087[A ]| But the soul that$6#1$ is truly Great 151:65,088[A ]| Is lowest in$4$ its own conceit. 151:65,089[A ]| Yet whilst we hug our own mistake, 151:65,090[A ]| We censures, but not judgements, make; 151:65,091[A ]| And thence it is we can not see 151:65,092[A ]| Obedience stand with Liberty. 151:65,093[A ]| Providence still keeps even state; 151:65,094[A ]| But he can best command his Fate, 151:65,095[A ]| Whose art, by$4$ adding his own voice, 151:65,096[A ]| Makes his Necessity his choice. 151:65,097[A ]| Rightly to$9$ rule one's self must be 151:65,098[A ]| The hardest, largest monarchy: 151:65,099[A ]| Whose passions are his masters grown, 151:65,100[A ]| Will$1$ be a Captive in$4$ a Throne. 151:65,101[A ]| He most the inward freedom gains, 151:65,102[A ]| Who$6#1$ just submissions entertains: 151:65,103[A ]| For$3$ while in$4$ that$6#2$ his Reason sways, 151:65,104[A ]| It is himself that$6#1$ he obeys. 151:65,105[A ]| But only in$4$ Eternity 151:65,106[A ]| We can these beauteous Unions see: 151:65,107[A ]| For$3$ heaven itself and Glory is 151:65,108[A ]| But one harmonious constant bliss. 151:66,000[' ]| 151:66,001[A ]| Be kind, my dear Rosania, though it is true 151:66,002[A ]| Thy friendship will$1$ become thy penance too; 151:66,003[A ]| Though there be nothing can reward the pain, 151:66,004[A ]| Nothing to$9$ satisfy or entertain; 151:66,005[A ]| Though all be empty, wild, and like$5$ to$4$ me, 151:66,006[A ]| Who$6#1$ make new troubles in$4$ my company: 151:66,007[A ]| Yet is the action more obliging-great; 151:66,008[A ]| It is hardship only makes desert complete. 151:66,009[A ]| But yet, to$9$ prove mixtures all things compound, 151:66,010[A ]| There may in$4$ this be some advantage found; 151:66,011[A ]| For$3$ a retirement from the noise of Towns, 151:66,012[A ]| Is that$6#2$ for$4$ which some Kings have left their Crowns: 151:66,013[A ]| And Conquerours, whose Laurels pressed their Brow, 151:66,014[A ]| Have changed it for$4$ the quiet Myrtle bough. 151:66,015[A ]| For$3$ titles, honours, and the world's address, 151:66,016[A ]| Are things too cheap to$9$ make up$5$ happiness; 151:66,017[A ]| The easy tribute of a giddy race, 151:66,018[A ]| And paid less to$4$ the person than the place. 151:66,019[A ]| So$5#1$ false reflected and so$5#1$ short content 151:66,020[A ]| Is that$6#2$ which$6#1$ fortune and opinion lent, 151:66,021[A ]| That$3$ who$6#1$ most tried it have of fate complained, 151:66,022[A ]| With titles burdened and to$4$ greatness chained. 151:66,023[A ]| For$3$ they alone enjoyed what they possessed, 151:66,024[A ]| Who$6#1$ relished most and understood it best; 151:66,025[A ]| And yet that$6#2$ understanding made them know 151:66,026[A ]| The empty swift dispatch of all below. 151:66,027[A ]| So$3$ that$3$ what most can outward things endear, 151:66,028[A ]| Is the best means to$9$ make them disappear: 151:66,029[A ]| And even that$6#2$ Tyrant (sense) doth these destroy, 151:66,030[A ]| As more officious to$4$ our grief than joy. 151:66,031[A ]| Thus all the glittering world is but a cheat, 151:66,032[A ]| Obtruding on$4$ our sense things gross for$4$ great. 151:66,033[A ]| But he that$6#1$ can enquire and undisguise, 151:66,034[A ]| Will$1$ soon perceive the sting that$6#1$ hidden lies: 151:66,035[A ]| And find no$2$ joys merit esteem but those 151:66,036[A ]| Whose scene lies wholly at our own dispose. 151:66,037[A ]| Man, unconcerned without, himself may be 151:66,038[A ]| His own both prospect and security. 151:66,039[A ]| Kings may be slaves by$4$ their own passions hurled, 151:66,040[A ]| But who$6#1$ commands himself commands the World. 151:66,041[A ]| A country-life assists this study best, 151:66,042[A ]| When no$2$ distractions doth the soul arrest: 151:66,043[A ]| There heaven and earth lie open to$4$ our view, 151:66,044[A ]| There we search nature and its author too; 151:66,045[A ]| Possessed with freedom and a real State 151:66,046[A ]| Look down on$4$ vice, on$4$ vanity, and fate. 151:66,047[A ]| There (my Rosania) will$1$ we, mingling souls, 151:66,048[A ]| Pity the folly which$6#1$ the world controls; 151:66,049[A ]| And all those Grandeurs which$6#1$ the most do prize 151:66,050[A ]| We either can enjoy, or will$1$ despise. 151:67,000[' ]| 151:67,001[A ]| As some choice Plant, cherished by$4$ sun and air, 151:67,002[A ]| And ready to$9$ requite the Gardener's care, 151:67,003[A ]| Blossoms and flourishes, but then we find 151:67,004[A ]| Is made the triumph of some ruder wind: 151:67,005[A ]| So$3$ thy untimely grave did both entomb 151:67,006[A ]| Thy sweetness now, and wonders yet to$9$ come. 151:67,007[A ]| Hung full of hopes thou fellest; a lovely prize, 151:67,008[A ]| Just as thou didst attract all Hearts and eyes. 151:67,009[A ]| Thus we might apprehend, for$3$ had thy years 151:67,010[A ]| Been lengthened to$9$ have paid those vast arrears 151:67,011[A ]| The world expected, we should then conclude 151:67,012[A ]| The Age of Miracles had been renewed. 151:67,013[A ]| For$3$ thou already hadst with ease found out 151:67,014[A ]| (What others study with such pains and doubt) 151:67,015[A ]| That$6#2$ frame of soul which$6#1$ is content alone, 151:67,016[A ]| And needs no$2$ entertainment but its Own. 151:67,017[A ]| Thy even mind, which$6#1$ made thee good and great, 151:67,018[A ]| Was to$4$ thee both a shelter and retreat. 151:67,019[A ]| On$4$ all the tumults which$6#1$ the world do fill 151:67,020[A ]| Thou wert an unconcerned spectator still; 151:67,021[A ]| And, were thy duty punctually supplied, 151:67,022[A ]| Indifferent to$4$ all the world beside. 151:67,023[A ]| Thou wert made up$5$ within, resolved and fixed, 151:67,024[A ]| And couldst not with a base allay be mixed; 151:67,025[A ]| Above the world, couldst equally despise 151:67,026[A ]| Both its Temptations and its injuries; 151:67,027[A ]| Couldst sum up$5$ all, and find not worth desire 151:67,028[A ]| Those glittering trifles which$6#1$ the most admire; 151:67,029[A ]| But with a nobler aim, and higher bourne, 151:67,030[A ]| Looked down on$4$ Greatness with contempt and scorn. 151:67,031[A ]| Thou hadst no$2$ arts that$6#1$ others this might see, 151:67,032[A ]| Nor Lovedst a Trumpet to$4$ thy Piety: 151:67,033[A ]| But silent and retired, calm and serene, 151:67,034[A ]| Stolest to$4$ thy blessed Haven hardly seen. 151:67,035[A ]| It were hard to$9$ describe thee then, but now 151:67,036[A ]| Thy vast accession harder is to$9$ know; 151:67,037[A ]| How full of light, and satisfied thou art, 151:67,038[A ]| So$5#1$ early from this treacherous world to$9$ part; 151:67,039[A ]| How pleased thou art reflections now to$9$ make, 151:67,040[A ]| And find thou didst not things below mistake;

151:73,031[A ]| And all the contraries which$6#1$ nature knew 151:73,032[A ]| Meet there, nor hurt themselves, nor it. 151:73,033[A ]| God never made body so$5#1$ bright and clean, 151:73,034[A ]| Which$6#1$ good and evil could discern: 151:73,035[A ]| What these words honesty and honour mean, 151:73,036[A ]| The Soul alone knows how to$9$ learn. 151:73,037[A ]| And though (it is true) she is imprisoned here, 151:73,038[A ]| Yet hath she notions of her own, 151:73,039[A ]| Which$6#1$ sense doth only Jog, awake, and clear, 151:73,040[A ]| But can not at the first make known. 151:73,041[A ]| The soul her own felicity hath laid, 151:73,042[A ]| And independent on$4$ the sense, 151:73,043[A ]| Sees the weak terrors which$6#1$ the world invade 151:73,044[A ]| With pity or with negligence. 151:73,045[A ]| So$5#1$ unconcerned she lives, so$5#1$ much above 151:73,046[A ]| The rubbish of her clotty Gaol, 151:73,047[A ]| That$3$ nothing doth her energy improve 151:73,048[A ]| So$5#1$ much as when those structures fail. 151:73,049[A ]| She is then a substance subtle, strong and pure, 151:73,050[A ]| So$5#1$ immaterial and refined 151:73,051[A ]| As speaks her from the body's fate secure, 151:73,052[A ]| As wholly of a different kind, 151:73,053[A ]| Religion for$4$ reward in$4$ vain would look, 151:73,054[A ]| Virtue were doomed to$4$ misery, 151:73,055[A ]| All actions were like$4$ bubbles in$4$ a brook, 151:73,056[A ]| Were it not for$4$ Immortality. 151:73,057[A ]| And as that$6#2$ Conqueror who$6#1$ millions spent 151:73,058[A ]| Thought it too mean to$9$ give a Mite; 151:73,059[A ]| So$3$ the world's judge can never be content 151:73,060[A ]| To$9$ bestow less than infinite. 151:73,061[A ]| Treason against eternal Majesty 151:73,062[A ]| Must have eternal justice too; 151:73,063[A ]| And since unbounded Love did satisfy, 151:73,064[A ]| He will$1$ unbounded mercy show. 151:73,065[A ]| It is our narrow thoughts shortens these things, 151:73,066[A ]| By$4$ their companion flesh inclined; 151:73,067[A ]| Which$6#1$, feeling its own weakness, gladly brings 151:73,068[A ]| The same opinion to$4$ the mind. 151:73,069[A ]| We stifle our own Sun, and live in$4$ shade; 151:73,070[A ]| But where its beams do once appear, 151:73,071[A ]| They make that$6#2$ person of himself afraid, 151:73,072[A ]| And to$4$ his own acts most severe. 151:73,073[A ]| For ways to$9$ sin close, and our breasts disguise 151:73,074[A ]| From outward search, we soon may find: 151:73,075[A ]| But who$6#2$ can his own soul bribe or surprise, 151:73,076[A ]| Or sin without a sting behind? 151:73,077[A ]| He that$6#1$ commands himself is more a prince 151:73,078[A ]| Than he who$6#1$ nations keep in$4$ awe; 151:73,079[A ]| And those who$6#1$ yield to$4$ what their souls convince, 151:73,080[A ]| Shall never need another Law. 151:74,000[' ]| 151:74,001[A ]| Nature courts happiness, although it be 151:74,002[A ]| Unknown as the Athenian Deity. 151:74,003[A ]| It dwells not in$4$ man's sense, but he supplies 151:74,004[A ]| That$6#2$ want by$4$ growing fond of its disguise. 151:74,005[A ]| The false appearances of joy deceive, 151:74,006[A ]| And seeking her unto her like$0$ we cleave; 151:74,007[A ]| For$3$ sinking man hath scarce sense left to$9$ know 151:74,008[A ]| Whether the Plank he grasps will$1$ hold or no$5$; 151:74,009[A ]| While all the business of the world is this: 151:74,010[A ]| To$9$ seek that$6#2$ good which$6#1$ by$4$ mistake they miss; 151:74,011[A ]| And all the several passions men express 151:74,012[A ]| Are but for$4$ pleasure in$4$ a different dress. 151:74,013[A ]| They hope for$4$ happiness in$4$ being Great, 151:74,014[A ]| Or rich, or loved, then hug their own conceit; 151:74,015[A ]| And those which$6#1$ promise what they never had 151:74,016[A ]| In$4$ the midst of Laughter leave the Spirit sad. 151:74,017[A ]| But the Good man can find this Treasure out, 151:74,018[A ]| For$4$ which$6#1$ in$4$ vain others do dig and doubt; 151:74,019[A ]| And hath such secret full content within, 151:74,020[A ]| Though all abroad be storms, yet he can sing. 151:74,021[A ]| His peace is made; all is quiet in$4$ that$6#2$ place 151:74,022[A ]| Where Nature is tuned and exercised by$4$ Grace. 151:74,023[A ]| His inward calm prevents his Enemies, 151:74,024[A ]| For$3$ he can neither envy nor despise: 151:74,025[A ]| But in$4$ the beauty of his ordered mind 151:74,026[A ]| Doth still a new rich satisfaction find. 151:74,027[A ]| Innocent Epicure! whose single Breast 151:74,028[A ]| Can furnish him with a continual Feast. 151:74,029[A ]| A Prince at home! and Sceptres can refuse; 151:74,030[A ]| Valuing only what he can not lose. 151:74,031[A ]| He study is to$9$ do good, (a man may be 151:74,032[A ]| Harmless for$4$ want of opportunity:) 151:74,033[A ]| But he is industrious kindness to$9$ dispense, 151:74,034[A ]| And therein only covets Eminence. 151:74,035[A ]| Others do court applause and fame, but he 151:74,036[A ]| Thinks all that$6#2$ giddy noise but Vanity. 151:74,037[A ]| He takes no$2$ pains to$9$ be observed or seen, 151:74,038[A ]| While all his acts are echoed from within. 151:74,039[A ]| He is still himself when company are gone, 151:74,040[A ]| Too well employed ever to$9$ be alone; 151:74,041[A ]| For$3$ studying God in$4$ all his volumes, he 151:74,042[A ]| Begins the business of Eternity; 151:74,043[A ]| And unconcerned without, retains a power 151:74,044[A ]| To$9$ suck (like$4$ Bees) a sweet from every Flower. 151:74,045[A ]| And as the Manna of the Israelites 151:74,046[A ]| Had several tastes to$9$ please all appetites: 151:74,047[A ]| So$3$ his contentment is that$6#2$ Catholic food, 151:74,048[A ]| That$6#1$ makes all states seem fit as well as good. 151:74,049[A ]| He dares not wish, nor his own fate propound; 151:74,050[A ]| But (if God sends) reads Love in$4$ every wound: 151:74,051[A ]| And would not lose, for$4$ all the joys of sense, 151:74,052[A ]| The Glorious pleasure of Obedience. 151:74,053[A ]| His better part can neither change nor lose, 151:74,054[A ]| And all God's will$0$ can do, and bear, and choose. 151:75,000[' ]| 151:75,001[A ]| How weak a Star doth rule mankind, 151:75,002[A ]| Which$6#1$ owes its ruin to$4$ the same 151:75,003[A ]| Causes which$6#1$ nature had designed 151:75,004[A ]| To$9$ cherish and preserve the frame! 151:75,005[A ]| As Commonwealths may be secure, 151:75,006[A ]| And no$2$ remote invasion dread; 151:75,007[A ]| Yet may a sadder fall endure 151:75,008[A ]| From Traitors in$4$ their bosom bred: 151:75,009[A ]| So$3$ while we feel no$2$ Violence, 151:75,010[A ]| And on$4$ our active health do trust, 151:75,011[A ]| A secret hand doth snatch us hence, 151:75,012[A ]| And Tumbles us into the Dust. 151:75,013[A ]| Yet carelessly we run our race, 151:75,014[A ]| As if we could death's summons wave; 151:75,015[A ]| And think not on$4$ the narrow space 151:75,016[A ]| Between a Table and a Grave. 151:75,017[A ]| But since we can not death reprieve, 151:75,018[A ]| Our souls and Fame we ought to$9$ mind, 151:75,019[A ]| For$3$ they our bodies will$1$ survive; 151:75,020[A ]| That$6#2$ goes beyond, this stays behind. 151:75,021[A ]| If I am sure my Soul is safe, 151:75,022[A ]| And that$3$ my actions will$1$ provide 151:75,023[A ]| My Tomb a nobler Epitaph, 151:75,024[A ]| Than that$3$ I only Lived and Died: 151:75,025[A ]| So$3$ that$3$ in$4$ various accidents 151:75,026[A ]| I conscience may, and Honour, keep; 151:75,027[A ]| I with that$6#2$ ease and innocence 151:75,028[A ]| Shall die, as infants go to$4$ Sleep. 151:76,000[' ]| 151:76,000[' ]| 151:76,001[A ]| The public Gladness that$6#1$ is to$4$ us restored, 151:76,002[A ]| For$4$ your escape from what we so$5#2$ deplored, 151:76,003[A ]| Will$1$ want as well resemblance as belief, 151:76,004[A ]| Unless our joy be measured by$4$ our Grief 151:76,005[A ]| When in$4$ your Fever we with terror saw 151:76,006[A ]| At once our Hopes and Happiness withdraw; 151:76,007[A ]| And every crisis did with jealous fear 151:76,008[A ]| Enquire the News we scarce durst stay to$9$ hear. 151:76,009[A ]| Some dying Princes have their Servants slain, 151:76,010[A ]| That$3$ after death they might not want a Train. 151:76,011[A ]| Such cruelty were here a needless sin; 151:76,012[A ]| For$3$ had our fatal Fears prophetic been, 151:76,013[A ]| Sorrow alone that$6#2$ service would have done, 151:76,014[A ]| And you by$4$ Nations had been waited on$5$. 151:76,015[A ]| Your danger was in$4$ every Visage seen, 151:76,016[A ]| And only yours was quiet and serene. 151:76,017[A ]| But all our zealous Grief had been in$4$ vain, 151:76,018[A ]| Had not Great Charles's called you back again: 151:76,019[A ]| Who$6#1$ did your sufferings with such pain discern, 151:76,020[A ]| He lost three Kingdoms once with less concern. 151:76,021[A ]| Labouring your safety he neglected his, 151:76,022[A ]| Nor feared he Death in$4$ any shape but this. 151:76,023[A ]| His Genius did the bold Distemper tame, 151:76,024[A ]| And his rich Tears quenched the rebellious Flame. 151:76,025[A ]| As once the Thracian Hero loved and grieved, 151:76,026[A ]| Till he his lost Felicity retrieved; 151:76,027[A ]| And with the moving accents of his woe, 151:76,028[A ]| His Spouse recovered from the shades below. 151:76,029[A ]| So$3$ the King's grief your threatened loss withstood, 151:76,030[A ]| Who$6#1$ mourned with the same fortune that$6#2$ he wooed 151:76,031[A ]| And to$4$ his happy Passion we have been 151:76,032[A ]| Now twice obliged for$4$ so$5#1$ adored a Queen. 151:76,033[A ]| But how severe a Choice had you to$9$ make, 151:76,034[A ]| When you must Heaven delay, or Him forsake? 151:76,035[A ]| Yet since those joys you made such haste to$9$ find 151:76,036[A ]| Had scarce been so$5#2$, if he were left behind, 151:76,037[A ]| How well did Fate decide your inward strife 151:76,038[A ]| By$4$ making him a Present of your Life? 151:76,039[A ]| Which$6#1$ rescued Blessing we must long enjoy 151:76,040[A ]| Since our Offences could it not destroy. 151:76,041[A ]| For$3$ none but Death durst rival him in$4$ you; 151:76,042[A ]| And Death himself was baffled in$4$ it too. 151:77,000[' ]| 151:77,000[' ]| 151:77,001[A ]| No$7$, no$7$, unfaithful World, thou hast 151:77,002[A ]| Too long my easy heart betrayed, 151:77,003[A ]| And me too long thy football made: 151:77,004[A ]| But I am wiser grown at last, 151:77,005[A ]| And will$1$ improve by$4$ all that$6#1$ I have passed. 151:77,006[A ]| I know it was just I should be practised on$5$; 151:77,007[A ]| For$3$ I was told before, 151:77,008[A ]| And told in$4$ sober and instructive lore, 151:77,009[A ]| How little all that$6#1$ trusted thee have won: 151:77,010[A ]| And yet I would make haste to$9$ be undone. 151:77,011[A ]| And by$4$ my sufferings I am better taught, 151:77,012[A ]| And shall no$2$ more commit that$6#2$ stupid fault. 151:77,013[A ]| Go, get some other fool, 151:77,014[A ]| Whom thou mayst next cajole: 151:77,015[A ]| On$4$ me thy frowns thou dost in$4$ vain bestow; 151:77,016[A ]| For$3$ I know now 151:77,017[A ]| To$9$ be as coy and as reserved as thou. 151:77,018[A ]| In$4$ my remote and humble seat 151:77,019[A ]| Now I am again possessed 151:77,020[A ]| Of that$6#2$ late fugitive, my breast, 151:77,021[A ]| From all thy tumult and from all thy heat 151:77,022[A ]| I will$1$ find a quiet and a cool retreat; 151:77,023[A ]| And on$4$ the fetters I have worn 151:77,024[A ]| Look with experienced and revengeful scorn, 151:77,025[A ]| In$4$ this my sovereign privacy. 151:77,026[A ]| It is true I can not govern thee, 151:77,027[A ]| But yet myself I can subdue; 151:77,028[A ]| And that$6#2$ is the nobler empire of the two. 151:77,029[A ]| If every passion had got leave 151:77,030[A ]| Its satisfaction to$9$ receive, 151:77,031[A ]| Yet I would it a higher pleasure call, 151:77,032[A ]| To$9$ conquer one, then to$9$ indulge them all. 151:77,033[A ]| For$4$ thy inconstant Sea, no$2$ more 151:77,034[A ]| I will$1$ leave that$6#2$ safe and solid shore: 151:77,035[A ]| No$7$, though to$9$ prosper in$4$ the cheat, 151:77,036[A ]| Thou shouldst my destiny defeat, 151:77,037[A ]| And make me beloved, and rich, and great: 151:77,038[A ]| Nor from myself shouldst me reclaim 151:77,039[A ]| With all the noise and all the pomp of fame. 151:77,040[A ]| Judiciously I will$1$ these despise; 151:77,041[A ]| Too small the bargain, and too great the price, 151:77,042[A ]| For$4$ them to$9$ cozen twice. 151:77,043[A ]| At length this secret I have learned; 151:77,044[A ]| Who$6#1$ will$1$ be happy, must be unconcerned, 151:77,045[A ]| Must all their comfort in$4$ their bosom wear, 151:77,046[A ]| And seek their power and their treasure there. 151:77,047[A ]| No$2$ other Wealth will$1$ I aspire, 151:77,048[A ]| But that$6#2$ of nature to$9$ admire; 151:77,049[A ]| Nor envy on$4$ a laurel will$1$ bestow, 151:77,050[A ]| Whilst I have any in$4$ my garden grow. 151:77,051[A ]| And when I would be great, 151:77,052[A ]| It is but ascending to$4$ a seat 151:77,053[A ]| Which$6#1$ nature in$4$ a lofty rock hath built; 151:77,054[A ]| A throne as free from trouble as from guilt. 151:77,055[A ]| Where when my soul her wings doth raise 151:77,056[A ]| Above what worldlings fear or praise, 151:77,057[A ]| With innocent and quiet pride I will$1$ sit, 151:77,058[A ]| And see the waves pay tribute to$4$ my feet. 151:77,059[A ]| O life divine, when free from joys diseased, 151:77,060[A ]| Not always merry, but yet always pleased. 151:77,061[A ]| A heart, which$6#1$ is too great a thing 151:77,062[A ]| To$9$ be a present for$4$ a persian King, 151:77,063[A ]| Which$6#1$ God himself would have to$9$ be his court, 151:77,064[A ]| Where Angels would officiously resort, 151:77,065[A ]| From its own height should much decline, 151:77,066[A ]| If this converse it should resign, 151:77,067[A ]| (Ill natured world!) for$4$ thine. 151:77,068[A ]| Thy unwise rigour hath thy empire lost; 151:77,069[A ]| It hath not only set me free, 151:77,070[A ]| But it hath let me see, 151:77,071[A ]| They only can of thy possession boast, 151:77,072[A ]| Who$6#1$ do enjoy thee least, and understand thee most. 151:77,073[A ]| For$3$ lo! the man whom all mankind admired 151:77,074[A ]| By$4$ every grace adorned, and every must inspired, 151:77,075[A ]| Is now triumphantly retired. 151:77,076[A ]| The mighty Cowley this hath done, 151:77,077[A ]| And over thee a Parthian conquest won: 151:77,078[A ]| Which$6#1$ future ages shall adore, 151:77,079[A ]| And which$6#1$ in$4$ this subdues thee more 151:77,080[A ]| Than either Greek or Roman ever could before. 151:78,000[' ]| 151:78,001[A ]| Behold this Creature's Form and State, 151:78,002[A ]| Which$6#1$ Nature therefore did create; 151:78,003[A ]| That$3$ to$4$ the World might be expressed 151:78,004[A ]| What mien there can be in$4$ a Beast; 151:78,005[A ]| And that$3$ we in$4$ this Shape may find 151:78,006[A ]| A Lion of another kind; 151:78,007[A ]| For$3$ this Heroic beast does seem 151:78,008[A ]| In$4$ Majesty to$9$ Rival him: 151:78,009[A ]| And yet vouchsafes, to$4$ Man, to$9$ show 151:78,010[A ]| Both service and submission too; 151:78,011[A ]| From whence we this distinction have, 151:78,012[A ]| That$6#2$ Beast is fierce, but this is brave. 151:78,013[A ]| This Dog hath so$5#2$ himself subdued, 151:78,014[A ]| That$3$ hunger can not make him rude, 151:78,015[A ]| And his behaviour does confess 151:78,016[A ]| True Courage dwells with Gentleness. 151:78,017[A ]| With Sternest Wolves he dares engage, 151:78,018[A ]| And acts on$4$ them successful rage;
