Страница 108 - Does not the river from the mountain flow, And bring down riches to the vale below? See how the torrent rolls the golden sand From the high ridges to the flatter land. The lofty lines abound with endless store Of mineral treasure, and metallic ore; With precious veins of silver, copper, tin, Without how barren, yet how rich within!
Страница 90 - See, how some noble river's swelling tide, Augmented by the mountains' melting snows, Breaks from its banks, and o'er the region flows ! Hence fruitful crops and flowery wealth ensue, And to the swain such mighty gains accrue, He ne'er reproaches Heaven for want of dew. See, and revere, th...

Страница 198 - Restrains, or sends his ministers abroad; Swift and obedient to his high command, They stir a finger, or they lift a hand; They tune our voices, or they move our eyes; By these we walk, or from the ground arise ; By these we turn, by these the body bend; Contract a limb at pleasure, or extend.
