Pagina 106 - Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy.
Pagina 93 - Where western gales eternally reside, And all the Seasons lavish all their pride ; Blossoms, and fruits, and flowers, together rise, And the whole year in gay confusion lies.
