Стр. 120 - SHE was a phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight; A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair; But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn: A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle, and waylay.
Стр. 200 - Hark ! through the silence of the cold, dull night, The hum of armies gathering rank on rank !

Стр. 196 - A wilder brightness. On the Goth she gazed While underneath the emotions of that hour Exhausted life gave way. O God ! she said, Lifting her hands, thou hast restored me all, . . All . . in one hour ! . . and round his neck she threw Her arms and cried, My Roderick! mine in Heaven! Groaning, he claspt her close, and in that act And agony her happy spirit fled.
Стр. 41 - E'en so, caparison'd in gaudy pride, The bounding vessel dances on the tide. Fierce and more fierce the gathering tempest grew; South, and by west, the threatening demon blew ; Auster's resistless force all air invades, And every rolling wave more ample spreads.
