Where, where for shelter shall the guilty fly, When consternation turns the good man pale?
Heaven wills our happiness, allows our doom.
Ambition! powerful source of good and ill!
To frown at pleasure, and to smile in pain.
The man that blushes is not quite a brute.
Ocean into tempest wrought, To waft a feather, or to drown a fly.
Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed: Who does the best his circumstance allows Does well, acts nobly; angels could no more.
Final Ruin fiercely drives Her ploughshare o'er creation.
When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair.
I've known my lady (for she loves a tune) For fevers take an opera in June: And, though perhaps you'll think the practice bold, A midnight park is sov'reign for a cold.
Wouldst thou be famed? have those high acts in view, Brave men would act though scandal would ensue.
Oh, how portentous is prosperity! How comet-like, it threatens while it shines.
Give me, indulgent gods with mind serene, And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene, No splendid poverty, no smiling care, No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there.
What is revenge but courage to call in our honor's debts, and wisdom to convert others' self-love into our own protection?
