Página 36 - Ordered the common weal ; where great men grew Up to their natural eminence, and none Saving the wise, just, eloquent, were great ; Where power was of God's gift to whom he gave Supremacy of merit — the sole means And broad highway to power, that ever then Was meritoriously administered, Whilst all its instruments, from first to last, The tools of state for service high or low, Were chosen for their aptness to those ends Which virtue meditates.

Página 180 - Upon the blithe and sportive, and on such As yield their want and chase their sad excess With jocund salutations, nimble talk, And buoyant bearing. Would that I were merry ! Mirth have I valued not before ; but now What would I give to be the laughing fount Of gay imaginations ever bright, And sparkling fantasies ! Oh, all I have, (Which is not nothing though I prize it not,) My understanding soul, my brooding sense, My passionate fancy, and the gift of gifts Dearest to woman which deflowering Time,...

Página 76 - Think once again upon the proffered choice Of French protection. Though my army wear This hour an aspect of security, A battle must be fought ere many days. ELENA.
