DR. JOHNSON: _London._
=Dunce.= How much a dunce, that has been sent to roam, Excels a dunce, that has been kept at home. 591 COWPER: _Prog. of Error,_ Line 415. =Dungeon.= Dweller in yon dungeon dark, Hangman of creation, mark! 592 BURNS: _Ode on Mrs. Oswald._ =Duty.= Stern Daughter of the Voice of God! O Duty! if that name thou love Who art a light to guide, a rod To check the erring, and reprove; Thou, who art victory and law When empty terrors overawe; From vain temptations dost set free; And calm'st the weary strife of frail humanity! 593 |
