Ah, me ! what hand can pencil guide, or pen, To follow half on which the eye dilates Through views more dazzling unto mortal ken Than those whereof such things the bard relates, Who to the awe-struck world unlock'd Elysium's gates?

Pàgina 57 - In all thy undertakings let a reasonable assurance animate thy endeavours; if thou despairest of success, thou shalt not succeed. Terrify not thy soul with vain fears; neither let thy heart sink within thee from the phantoms of imagination. From fear proceedeth misfortune; but he that hopeth, helpeth himself. As the ostrich, when pursued, hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger. If thou believest a thing impossible, thy despondency shall make it so;...
Pàgina 41 - ' In all thy desires, let reason go along with thee; and fix not thy hope beyond the bounds of probability, so shall success attend thy undertakings, and thy heart shall not be vexed with disappointments."

Pàgina 15 - Pamela and the prayer-book, who had manors of a thousand acres in the country cultivated by slaves from Africa . . . were many of them allied to the first families in England and it was their chief ambition to keep up the ceremonies and customs of the aristocratic society which they represented. A baronet was then approached with greatest deference; a coach and four with an armorial bearing and liveried servants was a munition against indignity; the stamp of the crown upon a piece of paper, even,...
