الصفحة 175 - In Israel's courts ne'er sat an Abethdin With more discerning eyes or hands more clean ; Unbribed, unsought, the wretched to redress, Swift of dispatch, and easy of access. Oh!, had he been content to serve the Crown With virtues only proper to the gown...
الصفحة 434 - One day as the king was walking in the Mall, and talking with Dryden, he said, ' If I was a poet, (and I think I am poor enough to be one,) I would write a poem on such a subject in the following manner,' and then gave him the plan for it.
الصفحة 433 - Ev'n in the most sincere advice he gave He had a grudging still to be a knave. The frauds he learnt in his fanatic years Made him uneasy in his lawful gears: so At best as little honest as he could, And, like white witches, mischievously good. To his first bias longingly he leans, And rather would be great by wicked means.
