" Be thine the gen'rous heart that borrows From others' joys a friendly glow, And for each hapless neighbour's sorrows Throbs with a sympathetic woe.
Seite 162 - Pride, of all others the most dangerous fault, Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought; The men who labour and digest things most Will be much apter to despond than boast; For if your author be profoundly good, Twill cost you dear before he 's understood.
