Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover - but will sooner or later find a tyrant.
Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange; Stranger than fiction: if it could be told, How much would novels gain by the exchange! How differently the world would men behold!
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean
I awoke one morning and found myself famous.
For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.
