At the throng'd levee bends the venal tribe:
With fair but faithless smiles each varnish'd o'er,
Each smooth as those that mutually deceive,
And for their falsehood each despising each.More James 1 quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Their only labour was to kill the time;
And labour dire it is, and weary woe,
They sit, they loll, turn o'er some idle rhyme,
Then, rising sudden, to the glass they go,
Or saunter forth, with tottering steps and slow.More James 1 quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Amid the roses, fierce Repentance rears
Her snaky crest; a quick-returning pang
Shoots through the conscious heart.More James 1 quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Cruel as death, and hungry at the grave.More James 1 quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

While I deduce,
From the first note the hollow cuckoo sings,
The symphony of spring.More James 1 quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
