Sayfa 71 - Thou crownest the year with thy goodness ; And thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness : And the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks ; The valleys also are covered over with corn ; They shout for joy, they also sing.

The first I now knew to be no poverty of soil, of natural resources, of mind, talent, or energy, but the effect of a blight, permitted to rest alike, on the land and people, through the selfishness of an unjust, crooked policy, that made their welfare of no account in its calculations, nor would stretch forth a hand to deliver them from the dark dominion of Popery....

Sayfa 6 - ... at present, labouring and toiling with all their strength, and living at the same time with the rigorous sparing of ascetics ? And these are the men whom I hear with indignation charged with idleness, while they wear out their frames in order to carry home their scanty wages in their miserable and tattered garments— Yes, I say they give up every appetite, and return to their homes with their wages, thus hardly earned, in their hands, and alas ! all goes to some distant...
