“ Shall hear of the Cabin of Mourne; And had I but musical strains, Though humble and mean in your station You should smile whilst the world remains, The pride of the fair Irish Nation.In friendship, fair Erin, you glow; Offended, you quickly forgive; Your courage is known to each foe, Yet foes on your bounty might live. Some faults you, however, must own ”

Quotes by Patrick Brontë
“ Here comes a foe, and there a friend, These point the dart and those defend, Whilst some deride her; But God will sweetest comforts blend, Whate’er betide her.Thus heaven-supported, forth she goes Midst flatterers, critics, friends, and foes ”
“ Thus worldlings lean on broken props, And idly weave their cobweb-hopes, And hang o’er hell by spider’s ropes, Whilst sins enthral; Affliction blows—their joy elopes— And down they fall! {235}p. 236EPISTLE TO A YOUNG CLERGYMAN.“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”—2 Timothy ii. 15. ”
