Page 426 - Still to be neat, still to be drest, As you were going to a feast ; Still to be powdered, still perfumed: Lady, it is to be presumed, Though art's hid causes are not found, All is not sweet, all is not sound.

Page 369 - I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man : and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Page 321 - God as inadequately and variously understood : — hence the innumerable objects of adoration, — the various denominations under which the Deity has been worshipped in different ages and countries, — and the variety of religious opinions. §. 69. The highest and most comprehensive of all conceptions to which the mind of man can be elevated by the powers of understanding and philosophy, is the totality of things internal and external, — that in which all is united, or wherein all things exist,...
Page 188 - With solemn touches troubled thoughts, and chase Anguish, and doubt, and fear, and sorrow, and pain From mortal or immortal minds.
