Repentance is but want of power to sin.
Errors like straws upon the surface flow, Who would search for pearls to be grateful for often must dive below.
Uncertain whose the narrowest span,--the clown unread, or half-read gentleman.
Three poets, in three distant ages born, Greece, Italy, and England did adorn. The first in loftiness of thought surpass'd; The next, in majesty; in both the last. The force of Nature could no further go; To make a third, she join'd the former two.
A lazy frost, a numbness of the mind.
Fattened in vice, so callous and so gross, he sins and sees not, senseless of his loss.
