Yet could I bear that too, well, very well. 



But there, where I have garner'd up my heart ; 



Where either I muft live, or bear no life ; 



The fountain from the wliich my current nins, 



Or elfe dries up ; to be difcarded thence, 



Or kef.o it as a ciftern for foul toads 



To knde to -i gender in : Turn thy complexion there, 



Patience, thou young and rofe lip'd cherubim ; 



Ay^ there look grim as helL 



After fuftaining a violent conflift betwixt love and rc-» 

 vengs, his high fpirit finally rcfolvcs into the latter. 



On comjpulfory Laws refpeSling Marriage, 



Wealth and power, what are you worth, 



To pleafure if you give not birth ? Cobb. 



Heaven beflowed upon man the finer feelings of the foul, 

 with a view to augment his happinefs, and to render his 

 fituation in life the more pleafant : yet, in confequence of 

 thofe erroneous notions which refinements in focicty engen- 

 <ler, tiiefc very feelings are the caufe of the greateil dif- 

 trefics to which human nature is ftibjefted. To fuch a weak 

 and fallible creature as man, the fympathetic endearments 

 arifmg from reciprocal affeftions are neceflar)', before liis 

 jnind can experience the liighefl degree of gratification of 

 which it is fufceptlble. In times of diftrefs, he feeks for 

 fome fympathetic bofom that fliall take pleafure in admini- 

 flering the balm of comfort ; and when the heart exults 

 with joy, it feels a dreary want until it can find fome one 

 Who will participate widi him in that peculiar blifs. Every 

 emotion of the heart proves that man was not made to be 

 alone; and that if ever he hopes to attain to happinefs, it 

 can never be found in folitude, far lefs in the company of 

 thofe wliofe difpofltions, deCres, and modes of thinking, are 

 not of a nature cojigcnial to his own.
