Pagina 225 - Whether on land, or in the spacious sea, But must give back its long-committed dust, Inviolate; and faithfully shall these Make up the full account; not the least atom Embezzled, or mislaid, of the whole tale. Each soul shall have a body ready furnish'd; And each shall have his own.
Pagina 208 - But see! thewell-plum'dherse comes nodding on, Stately and slow; and properly attended By the whole sable tribe, that painful watch The sick man's door, and live upon the dead, By letting out their persons by the hour To mimic sorrow, when the heart's not sad.
Pagina 95 - Attic shores the vessel keeps : The pilots, as the waves behind her swell, Still with the wheeling stern their force repel. For this assault should either quarter feel, Again to flank the tempest she might reel. The steersmen every bidden turn apply ; To right and left the spokes alternate fly. Thus when some conquer'd host retreats in fear, The bravest leaders guard the broken rear ; Indignant they retire, and long oppose Superior armies that around them close ; Still shield the flanks ; the routed...
Pagina 209 - The oppressive, sturdy, man-destroying villains Who ravaged kingdoms, and laid empires waste, And in a cruel wantonness of power Thinn'd states of half their people, and gave up To want the rest; now, like a storm that's spent, Lie hush'd, and meanly sneak behind the covert.
Pagina 204 - Well do I know thee by thy trusty yew, Cheerless, unsocial plant ; that loves to dwell 'Midst skulls and coffins, epitaphs, and worms...
Pagina 211 - Shoots like a burning arrow cross his bowels, And drinks his marrow up. Heard you that groan? It was his last. See how the great Goliath, Just like a child that brawl'd itself to rest, Lies still.
Pagina 46 - The guns were primed; the vessel northward veers, Till her black battery on the column bears: The nitre fired ; and, while the dreadful sound Convulsive shook the slumbering air around, The watery volume, trembling to the sky, Burst down, a dreadful deluge, from on high ! The expanding ocean trembled as it fell, And felt with swift recoil her surges swell; But soon, this transient undulation o'er, The sea subsides, the whirlwinds rage no more.
Pagina 224 - How calm his exit! Night-dews fall not more gently to the ground, Nor weary worn-out winds expire so soft. Behold him in the evening tide of life, A life well spent, whose early care it was His riper years should not upbraid his green; By unperceived degrees he wears away ; Yet, like the sun, seems larger at his setting!
Pagina 42 - The artillery frown'd, a black tremendous tier ! Embalm'd with orient gum, above the wave The swelling sides a yellow radiance gave. On the broad stern, a pencil warm and bold, That never servile rules of art controll'd, An allegoric tale on high...
Pagina 211 - That rashly dared thee to th' unequal fight. What groan was that I heard ? deep groan indeed ! With anguish heavy laden ! let me trace it : From yonder bed it comes, where the strong man. By stronger arm belabor'd, gasps for breath Like a hard-hunted beast.
