“I am monarch of all I survey;
My right there is none to dispute;
From the center all round to the sea
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O Solitude! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.”

A teacher should be sparing of his smile.”

A calm and heav’nly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!”
