Страница 38 - Where through the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault, The pealing anthem swells the note of praise.
Страница 3 - For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care : No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share.
