| Soul |
| Death only this mysterious truth unfolds, The mighty soul, how small a body holds. Juvenal.—Sat. 10. (Dryden.) | 1 |
| A soul without reflection, like a pile Without inhabitant, to ruin runs. Dr. Young.—Night V. Line 596. | 2 |
| And the weak soul, within itself unblest, Leans for all pleasure on another’s breast. Goldsmith.—The Traveller, Line 271. | 3 |
| A pure ingenuous elegance of soul, A delicate refinement, known to few, Perplex’d his breast. Thomson.—Summer. | 4 |
| Within this wall of flesh There is a soul counts thee her creditor, And with advantage means to pay thy love. Shakespeare.—King John, Act III. Scene 3. (The King to Hubert.) | 5 |
| The soul’s dark cottage, batter’d and decay’d, Lets in new light through chinks that time has made; Stronger by weakness, wiser men become, As they draw nearer to their eternal home. Waller.—On his Divine Poems. | 6 |
| 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. | 7 |
| The soul, secured in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its point. Addison.—Cato, Act V. Scene 1. | 8 |
| 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! Byron.—The Bride of Abydos, Canto I. Stanza 6. | 9 |
| Such souls Whose sudden visitations daze the world, Vanish like lightning, but they leave behind A voice that in the distance far away Wakens the slumbering ages. H. Taylor.—Van Artevelde, Act I. Scene 7. | 10 |
