BISHOP BERKELEY.
1684-1753.
On the Prospect of Planting Arts and Learning in America.
Westward the course of empire takes its way;
The four first acts already past,
A fifth shall close the drama with the day;
Time's noblest offspring is the last.
ROBERT BLAIR.
1699-1746.
The Grave. Part ii. Line 586.
The good he scorned,
Stalked off reluctant, like an ill-used ghost,
Not to return; or if it did, in visits
Like those of angels, short and far between.
