Without inhabitant, to ruin runs.

Leans for all pleasure on another’s breast.

A pure ingenuous elegance of soul,
A delicate refinement, known to few,
Perplex’d his breast.

Within this wall of flesh
There is a soul counts thee her creditor,
And with advantage means to pay thy love.

SOUL.—I am positive I have a soul: nor can all the books with which materialists have pestered the world, ever convince me to the contrary.

Sterne—Sentimental Journey. Maria, Moulines, last three Lines.

The soul, secur’d in her existence, smiles
At the drawn dagger, and defies its point.

The light of love, the purity of grace,
The mind, the music breathing from her face,
The heart whose softness harmonized the whole—
And, oh! that eye was in itself a soul!

Sound—
That stealeth ever on the ear of him
Who, musing, gazeth on the distance dim,
And sees the darkness coming as a cloud—
Is not its form—its voice—most palpable and loud?

Poe.—Al Aaraaf.

Jove himself, who hears a thought,
Knows not when we pass by.

He goes but to see a noise that he heard, and is to come again.

Shakespeare.—Twelfth Night, Act II. Scene 3. (Sir Toby to Sir Andrew.)

SOVEREIGN.—Here lies our sovereign lord the king,
Whose word no man relies on;
He never says a foolish thing,
Nor ever does a wise one.
