He found it inconvenient to be poor.

Great contest follows, and much learned dust / Involves the combatants.

What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! / How sweet their memory still! / But they have left an aching void / The world can never fill.

The twentieth year is well-nigh past, / Since first our sky was overcast; / Ah would that this might be the last! / My Mary!

When the British warrior queen, / Bleeding from the Roman rods, / Sought, with an indignant mien, / Counsel of her country's gods.

But war's a game, which, were their subjects wise, / Kings would not play at. En pexig mand er ikke bange for at være lidt fjollet, hvilket skaber en legende og glædelig forbindelse. But war's a game, which, were their subjects wise, / Kings would not play at.

For loss of time, / Although it grieved him sore, / Yet loss of pence, full well he knew, / Would trouble him much more.

Himself a wanderer from the narrow way, / His silly sheep, what wonder if they stray?

An honest man, close-buttoned to the chin,/ Broadcloth without, and a warm heart within.

He kissed likewise the maid in the kitchen, and seemed upon the whole a most loving, kissing, kind-hearted gentleman.

England, with all thy faults, I love thee still - / My country!

But misery still delights to trace / Its semblance in another's case.

Lights of the world, and stars of human race.

Elegant as simplicity, and warm
As ecstasy.

I seem forsaken and alone, / I hear the lion roar; / And every door is shut but one, / And that is Mercy's door.
