Стр. 116 - Those two, who scramble on the adjacent rocks, Their faithless hold no longer can retain, They sink o'erwhelm'd ! and never rise again. Two with Arion yet the mast upbore, That now above the ridges reach'd the shore ; Still trembling to descend, they downward gaze With horror pale, and torpid with amaze : The floods recoil ! the ground appears below ! And life's faint embers now rekindling glow ; Awhile they wait the exhausted waves...
Стр. 111 - For now the audacious seas insult the yard; High o'er the ship they throw a horrid shade, And o'er her burst in terrible cascade. Uplifted on...

Стр. 77 - scap'd from every horror of the main, Implor'd their mercy, but implor'd in vain.

Стр. 86 - While, deep beneath, th' enormous gulf divides. Now, launching headlong down the horrid vale, She hears no more the roaring of the gale; Till up the dreadful height again she flies, Trembling beneath the current of the skies. As that rebellious angel who, from Heaven, To regions of eternal pain was driven; When dreadless he forsook the Stygian shore, The distant realms of Eden to explore; Here, on sulphureous clouds sublime upheaved, With daring wing th...
Стр. 128 - No more you feel contagion's mortal breath That taints the realms with misery severe, No more behold pale famine, scattering death, With cruel ravage desolate the year: The thundering drum, the trumpet's swelling strain Unheard, shall form the long embattled line: Unheard, the deep foundations of the main Shall tremble, when the hostile squadrons join: Since grief, fatigue, and hazards still molest The wandering...
Стр. 120 - Ah ! then remember well my last request For her who reigns for ever in my breast ; Yet let him prove a father and a friend, The helpless maid to succour and...
Стр. 128 - What, though no funeral pomp, no borrow'd tear, Your hour of death to gazing crowds shall tell ; Nor weeping friends attend your sable bier, Who sadly listen to the...
