Page 16 - Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted ; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
Page 329 - Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds; Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.— Save that, from yonder ivy-mantled tower, The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such as, wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign.
