Side 196 - Thus every good his native wilds impart, Imprints the patriot passion on his heart; And e'en those ills, that round his mansion rise, Enhance the bliss his scanty fund supplies.

Side 18 - Cecil stopped and sighed again. " And do you think your husband would scruple to trust you, Cecil?" said I. Her embarrassment instantly vanished, and she looked up steadily in my face, " No, no, lady !" said she, " I'll never think such a thought of him. He's no so ill hearted.
Side 285 - London, desired me to ride out with him, and show him the Parks of Culloden, without telling me the Reason of his Curiosity.
