S.

Much Ado About Nothing. Act II. Sc. 1. Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye, Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues.

t. Love's Labour's Lost. Act II. Sc. 1. Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good; A shining gloss that vadeth suddenly; A flower that dies when first it 'gins to bud; A brittle glass that's broken presently; A doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower,

Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an
hour.

Of Nature's gifts thou may'st with lilies boast, And with the half-blown rose.

a. King John. Act III. Sc. 1.

Her beauty hangs upon the cheek of night,
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear:
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
b. Romeo and Juliet. Act I. Sc. 5.
Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly wash'd with dew.

Spring.

Good things will strive to dwell with't.

But hevenly pourtraict of bright angels hew,
Cleare as the skye withouten blame or blot,
Through goodly mixture of complexion's dew.

A meeting of gentle lights without a name.

BACON-Essays. Of Atheism.

O how far removed, Predestination! is thy foot from such As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, O mortal men! be wary how ye judge: For we, who see the Maker, know not yet The number of the chosen; and esteem Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: For all our good is, in that primal good, Concentrate; and God's will and ours are

To find that better way!

He held, in spite of all his learning,

That if a man's belief is bad,

It will not be improved by burning.

'Orthodoxy, my Lord," said Bishop Warburton, in a whisper," orthodoxy is my doxy,-heterodoxy is another man's doxy." k. JOSEPH PRIESTLY-- Memoirs.

No one is so much alone in the universe as a denier of God. With an orphaned heart, which has lost the greatest of fathers, he stands mourning by the immeasurable corpse of nature, no longer moved or sustained by the Spirit of the universe, but growing in its grave; and he mourns, until he himself crumbles away from the dead body.

Which raised us baith.

That all-softening, overpowering knell,
The tocsin of the Soul-the dinner bell.

Falling at intervals upon the ear
In cadence sweet.
