Through what power, Even for the least division of an hour, Have I been so beguiled as to be blind, To my most grievous loss! - That thought's return Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore, Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more; That neither present time, nor years unborn Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.
Page 165 - Though bred a Presbyterian, and brought up a merchant, he was the finest gentleman of his time.
