Your bounty is beyond my speaking;
But though my mouth be dumb, my heart shall thank you.
Jane Shore (1714)
And one false step entirely damns her fame.
In vain with tears the loss she may deplore,
In vain look back on what she was before;
She sets like stars that fall, to rise no more.
Jane Shore (1714)
Yet Heav'n, that made me honest, made me more
Than ever king did, when he made a lord.
Jane Shore (1714)
Beshrew my heart, but it is wond’rous strange;
Sure there is something more than witchcraft in them,
That masters ev’n the wisest of us all.
Jane Shore (1714)
Midnight hags,
By force of potent spells, of bloody characters,
And conjurations horrible to hear,
Call fiends and spectres from the yawning deep,
And set the ministers of hell at work.
Jane Shore (1714)
Think not the good,
The gentle deeds of mercy thou hast done,
Shall die forgotten all; the poor, the prisoner,
The fatherless, the friendless, and the widow,
Who daily owe the bounty of thy hand,
Shall cry to Heaven, and pull a blessing on thee.
Jane Shore (1714)
Righteous Heaven,
In thy great day of vengeance! Blast the traitor
And his pernicious counsels, who, for wealth,
For pow'r, the pride of greatness, or revenge,
Would plunge his native land in civil wars.
Jane Shore (1714)
