And sanguine hope through every storm of life, Shoots her bright beams, and calms the internal strife. - [Proverbs] Earthly pride is like the passing flower, that springs to fall, and blossoms but to die. - [Pride] Friendship has a power To soothe affliction in her darkest hour. - [Friendship] I do not like punishments. You will never torture a child into duty; but a sensible child will dread the frown of a judicious mother more than all the rods, dark rooms, end scolding school-mistresses in the universe. - [Childhood : Children] Oh Ignorance Thou art fall'n man's best friend! - [Proverbs] So, on the eastern summit, clad in gray, morn, like a horseman girt for travel, comes, and from his tower of mist night's watchman hurries down. - [Morning] The past is dead, and has no resurrection. - [Past] Who shall contend with time,--unvanquished time, the conqueror of conquerors and lord of desolation? - [Time] And care, whom not the gayest can outbrave, Pursues its feeble victim to the grave. - Childhood (pt.

Even as the savage sits upon the stone That marks were stood her capitols, and hears The bittern booming in the weeds, he shrinks From the dismaying solitude. - Time [Ruin] To wind the mighty secrets of the past, And turn the key of time. - Time (l. 249) [Time] Mild offspring of a dark and sullen sire! Whose modest form, so delicately fine, Was nursed in whirling storms, And cradled in the winds. Thee when young spring first question'd winter's sway, And dared the sturdy bluster to the fight, Thee on his bank he threw To mark his victory. - To an Early Primrose [Primroses]
