He who is good is happy. Let the loud
Artillery of heaven break through a cloud,
And dart its thunder at bim, he'll remain
Unmov'd, and nobler comfort entertain
In welcoming th' approach of death, than vice
E’er found in her fictitious paradise.
Time mocks our youth, and (while we number past
Delights, and raise our appetite to taste
Ensuing) brings us to unflatter'd age.-Habington.

Stand on the pile, immortal fame,
Broad stars adorn thy brightest robe,
Thy thousand voices sound his name
In silver accents round the globe.
Flattery shall faint beneath the sound,
While hoary truth inspires the song ;
Envy grow pale and bite the ground,
And slander gnaw her forky tongue.- Dr. Watts.

Hence, in old ky time, a deluge came :
When the deep-cleft disparting orb, that arch'd
The central waters round, impetuous rush'a,
With universal burst into the gulf,
And o'er the high-pil'd hills of fractur'd earth
Wide dash'd the waves, in undulation vast;
Till, from the centre to the streaming clouds
A shoreless ocean tumbled round the globe.

Speech of Henry Earl of Northampton.

In social sweetness, on the self-same bough.

A trembling candidate for thy compassion
On this world's brink, I look into the next. — Bishop Porteus.

Hope, like a cordial, innocent, though strong,
Man's heart at once inspirits and serenes;
Nor makes him pay his wisdom for his joys;
'Tis all our present state can safely bear,
Health to the frame; and vigour to the mind :
A joy attemper'd; a chastis'd delight.
Like the fair summer ev’ning, mild and sweet;
'Tis man's full cup, his paradise below!
