_The Captivity, Act_ ii. O. GOLDSMITH.
Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought.
_King Henry IV., Pt. II. Act iv Sc. 4_. SHAKESPEARE.
Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind,
But leave--oh! leave the light of Hope behind!

Man never is, but always to be, blest:
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

The wretch condemned with life to part,
Still, still on hope relies;
And every pang that rends the heart
Bids expectation rise.

But only hope.

From its own wreck the thing it contemplates.

HORSEMANSHIP.
I saw young Harry, with his beaver on,
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat,
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds,
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
_King Henry IV., Pt. I. Act iv. Sc. 1_. SHAKESPEARE.
