Pàgina 154 - He'd rather choose that I should die Than his prediction prove a lie : Not one foretells I shall recover, But all agree to give me over. Yet should some neighbour feel a pain Just in the parts where I complain, How many a message would he send ? What hearty prayers that I should mend?
Pàgina 391 - I think Mr. St. John the greatest young man I ever knew ; wit, capacity, ,' beauty, quickness of apprehension, good learning, and an excellent taste ; the best orator in the house of commons, admirable conversation, good nature, and good manners ; generous, and a despiser of money...

Pàgina 11 - I thought I saw Jack Temple and his wife pass by me to-day in their coach ; but I took no notice of them. I am glad I have wholly shaken off that family.
Pàgina 346 - Then you discover the brightness of his mind and the strength of his judgment, accompanied with the most graceful mirth. In a word, by this enlivening aid, he is whatever is polite, instructive, and diverting.
