Poems List

Words learned by rote a parrot may rehearse; but talking is not always to converse, not more distinct from harmony divine, the constant creaking of a country sign.

Religion! what treasure untold resides in that heavenly word!

Nature is a good name for an effect whose cause is God.

The darkest day, If you live till tomorrow will have past away.

Fanaticism soberly defined, is the false fire of an over heated mind.

The life of ease is a difficult pursuit.

Oh to have a lodge in some vast wilderness. Where rumors of oppression and deceit, of unsuccessful and successful wars may never reach me anymore.

Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid.

O, popular applause! what heart of man is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?

I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, for how could we do without sugar and rum?
