Robert Pollok. 1799-1827.

Sorrows remember'd sweeten present joy.

The Course of Time. Book i. Line 464.

He laid his hand upon "the Ocean's mane,"

And played familiar with his hoary locks.[588:2]

The Course of Time. Book iv. Line 389.

He was a man

Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven

To serve the Devil in.

The Course of Time. Book viii. Line 616.

With one hand he put

A penny in the urn of poverty,

And with the other took a shilling out.

The Course of Time. Book viii. Line 632.
