Стр. 352 - Time was when it was praise and boast enough In every clime, and travel where we might, That we were born her children. Praise enough To fill the' ambition of a private man, That Chatham's language was his mother tongue, And Wolfe's great name compatriot with his own.
Стр. 263 - Were wantoning together, free, Like age at play with infancy — Beneath that fresh and springing bower, Close by the lake she heard the moan Of one who at this silent hour, Had thither stolen to die alone — One who in life where'er he moved, Drew after him the hearts of many...

Стр. 89 - Though restless still themselves, a lulling murmur made. Joined to the prattle of the purling rills, Were heard the lowing herds along the vale, And flocks loud bleating from the distant hills, And vacant shepherds piping in the dale: And now and then sweet Philomel would wail, Or stock-doves 'plain amid the forest deep, That drowsy rustled to the sighing gale ; And still a coil the grasshopper did keep; Yet all these sounds yblent inclined all to sleep.
Стр. 474 - I hope with prudence and not altogether without success, or a sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign his opponents and to glorify himself?
