Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Constancy and Contrition, Vol. 2 of 3 There´s not a virtue in the bosom lives That gives such ready pay as patience gives. That pure submission to the ruling mind, - Fixed, but not forced - obedient, but not blind; The will of Heaven to make her own she tries, Or makes her own to Heaven a sacrifice. And is there aught on earth so rich, so rare, Whose pleasures may with virtue´s pains compare? This fruit of patience, this the pure delight, That ´tis a trial in her Judge´s sight. Her part still striving duty to maintain, Not spurning pleasure, not defying pain. Never in triumph till her race be run, And never fainting till her work be done. Crabbe. Lady Sylvester could by no means emulate the serenity which Mercedes displayed, nor bring her mind to contemplate tranquilly the utter disappointment of all her own plans, and she was actually cruel enough to feel aversion towards the unhappy orphan whose misfortunes had occasioned their overthrow.
