Page 105 - OH ! weep for those that wept by Babel's stream, Whose shrines are desolate, whose land a dream : Weep for the harp of Judah's broken shell ; Mourn — where their God hath dwelt the godless dwell!
Page 22 - Sleepe after toyle, port after stormie seas, Ease after warre, death after life, does greatly please.
Page 126 - ... sea-green individual in spectacles ; meant by Nature for a Methodist parson of the stricter sort, to doom men who departed from the written confession ; to chop fruitless shrill logic; to contend, and suspect, and ineffectually wrestle and wriggle...
Page 126 - ... (which some count strength) as of a cramp : really a most poor sea-green individual in spectacles ; meant by Nature for a Methodist parson of the stricter sort, to doom men who departed from the written confession ; to chop fruitless shrill logic; to contend, and suspect, and ineffectually wrestle...
