Стр. 322 - Buckingham, who thus, out of bis f ami if archives, places within our reach authentic and exceedingly minute pictures of the governors of England, we owe grateful acknowledgements.

Стр. 25 - Clapped the old trumpeter twice on the back, Leaped on his bay with a dash and a swing, Bade all the bells in the city to ring, And when the red flag from the steeple went down, Open they flung every gate in the town. To boot ! and to horse ! and away like a flood, A fire in their eyes, and a sting in their blood ; Hurrying out with a flash and a flare, A roar of hot guns, a loud trumpeter's blare, And first, sitting proud as a king on his throne, At the head of them all dashed Sir Richard Tyrone....
Стр. 268 - Tis forty years from then till now — The grave gapes at my feet — Yet when I think of such a boy, I feel my old heart beat.
