Страница 284 - On this question of principle, while actual suffering was yet afar off, they raised their flag against a power, to which, for purposes of foreign conquest and subjugation, Rome, in the height of her glory, is not to be compared ; a power which has dotted over the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military posts, whose morning drum-beat, following the sun, and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England.

Riches and honours, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot: they amount to FOURTEEN: — O man!

Страница 242 - Thou also fair and graceful Palm-tree, thou, Art here a stranger. Western breezes wave Softly around thee with the breath of love, Caressing thy soft beauty. Rich the soil Wherein thy roots are prospering, and thy head Thou liftest high to heaven. Thou, fair tree, Dost feel no grief for thine abandoned home.

Страница 18 - Lord, methought what pain it was to drown ! What dreadful noise of waters in my ears ! What sights of ugly death within mine eyes...
