 He that holds fast the golden mean,And lives contently between The little and the great, Feels not the wants that pinch the poor, Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door. |
| Oh! let me then at length be taught What I am still so slow to learn; That God is love, and changes not, Nor knows the shadow of a turn. |
| He has no hope that never had a fear. |
| May I but meet thee on that peaceful shore,/ The parting word shall pass my lips no more! |
| From reveries so airy, from the toil / Of dropping buckets into empty wells, / And growing old in drawing nothing up. |
| All thy threads with magic art / Have wound themselves about this heart. |
| O, popular applause! what heart of man is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms? |
| A man renowned for repartee will seldom scruple to make free with friendship's finest feeling, will thrust a dagger at your breast, and say he wounded you in jest, by way of balm for healing. |
| I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, for how could we do without sugar and rum? |
| There is a fountain filled with blood / Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; / And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, / Lose all their guilty stains. |
| A fool must now and then be right, by chance. |
| 'Tis pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat, / To peep at such a world; to see the stir / Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd. |
| Unmissed but by his dogs and by his groom. |
| Ye fearful saints fresh courage take, The clouds you so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break, With blessings on your head |
