Đoạn trích phổ biến
Trang 142 - Conspicuous scene ! another yet is nigh, (More silent far) where kings and poets lie; Where Murray (long enough his country's pride) Shall be no more than Tully or than Hyde...
Trang 309 - Tis come, the glorious morn! the second birth Of heaven and earth ! awakening Nature hears The new-creating word, and starts to life, In every heightened form, from pain and death For ever free.
Trang 309 - For ever free. The great eternal scheme, Involving all, and in a perfect whole Uniting, as the prospect wider spreads, To reason's eye refin'd clears up apace. Ye vainly wise ! ye blind presumptuous ! now, Confounded in the dust, adore that Power And Wisdom oft arraign'd...
Trang 309 - In starving solitude; while Luxury, In palaces, lay straining her low thought, To form unreal wants: why heaven-born Truth, And Moderation fair, wore the red marks Of Superstition's scourge : why licens'd Pain, That cruel spoiler, that embosom'd foe, Imbitter'd all our bliss.

Trang xv - Still as his mother favour'd you, Threw a new flaming dart. Each gloried in their wanton part : To make a lover he Employed the utmost of his art, To make a beauty she.
Trang xix - Seen him, uneumber'd with the venal tribe, Smile without art, and win without a bribe.
Trang vi - The face of the court was much changed in the change of the king, for King Charles was temperate, chaste, and serious; so that the fools and bawds, mimics and catamites, of the former court, grew out of fashion...
Trang xix - The wretch who, after having seen the consequences of a thousand errors, continues still to blunder, and whose age has only added obstinacy to stupidity, is surely the object either of 'abhorrence or contempt, and deserves not that his gray hairs should secure him from insult.
