Стр. 254 - and all such rebels!" with his most judicial frown. But, Virginians, don't do it! for I tell you that the flagon, Filled with blood of Old Brown's offspring, was first poured by Southern hands; And each drop from Old Brown's life-veins, like the red gore of the dragon, May spring up a vengeful Fury, hissing through your slave- worn lands! And Old Brown, Osawatomie Brown, May trouble you more than ever, when you've nailed his coffin down!
Стр. 254 - JOHN BROWN in Kansas settled, like a steadfast Yankee farmer, Brave and godly, with four sons — all stalwart men of might. There he spoke aloud for Freedom, and the Border-strife grew warmer, Till the Rangers fired his dwelling, in his absence, in the night ; And Old Brown, Osawatomie Brown, Came homeward in the morning — to find his house burned down.
Стр. 168 - By sandy Bahrein, in the Persian Gulf, Plunging all day in the blue waves, at night, Having made up his tale of precious pearls, Rejoins her in their hut upon the sands — So dear to the pale Persians Eustum came.
