Page 361 - On every side encountered ; in despite Of the gross fictions, chanted in the streets By wandering Rhapsodists ; and in contempt Of doubt and bold denials hourly urged Amid the wrangling schools — a SPIRIT hung, Beautiful Region ! o'er thy towns and farms...
Page 275 - On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth So great an object : can this cockpit hold The vasty fields of France ? or may we cram Within this wooden O the very casques That did affright the air at Agincourt...
