Here thou, great Anna! whom three realms obey, Dost sometimes counsel take--and sometimes tea. 411 POPE: _R. of the Lock,_ Canto iii., Line 7. =Country.= God made the country, and man made the town; What wonder, then, that health and virtue, gifts, That can alone make sweet the bitter draught That life holds out to all, should most abound, And least be threatened in the fields and groves? 412 COWPER: _Task,_ Bk. i., Line 749. True patriots all; for be it understood We left our country for our country's good. 413 GEORGE BARRINGTON: _Prologue written for the Opening of the Playhouse at New South Wales, Jan. 16, 1796._ =Courage.= What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The arm'd Rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcanian tiger. |
