Page 161 - tis a common proof, That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, Whereto the climber upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend.
Page 207 - The sands or the sun's rays ; but God ! for Thee There is no weight nor measure ; none can mount Up to thy mysteries.
