Página 133 - Since every man who lives, is born to die, And none can boast sincere felicity, With equal mind, what happens, let us bear, Nor joy, nor grieve too much for things beyond our care.

Página 55 - Thro' wondrous fcenes of Being yet untry'd, Where in each ftage we fhall more perfect grow, And new perfections, new delights beftow.
