139 ページ - After my death I wish no other herald, No other speaker of my living actions, To keep mine honour from corruption, But such an honest chronicler as Griffith.
98 ページ - If dying mortals doom they sing aright, No ghosts descend to dwell in dreadful night : No parting souls to grisly Pluto go, Nor seek the dreary silent shades below : But forth they fly, immortal in their kind, And other bodies in new worlds they find : Thus life for ever runs its endless race, And, like a line, death but divides the space ; A stop which can but for a moment last, A point between the future and the past.
120 ページ - Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

369 ページ - I presume you very well know, or have beard, of my condition and disposition, and that I neither give nor take quarter ; I am now with my firelocks, who never yet neglected opportunity to correct rebels ; ready to use you as I have done the Irish, but loth...
369 ページ - Irish army in your company; they very well know me, and that my firelocks use not to parley. Be not unadvised, but think of your liberty, for I vow all hopes of relief are taken from you, and our intents are not to starve you, but to batter and storm you, and then hang you all, and follow the rest of that rebellious crew. I am no bread and cheese rogue, but was ever a loyalist, and will ever be while I can write or name THOMAS SANDFORD, Captain of Firelocks.
187 ページ - Primary chief bard am I to Elphin, And my original country is the region of the summer stars ; Idno and Heinin called me Merddin, At length every king will call me Taliesin. I was with my Lord in the highest sphere, On the fall of Lucifer into the depth of hell : I have borne a banner before Alexander; I know the names of the stars from north to south ; I have been on the galaxy at the throne of the...
106 ページ - We have many instances of this nature in our own country, and they are to be found in other parts of the world ; and, wherever they occur, we may esteem them of the highest antiquity. All such works we generally refer to the Celts and to the Druids, under the sanction of which names we shelter ourselves whenever we are ignorant and bewildered. But they were the operations of a very remote age : probably before the time when the Druids, or Celta», were first known.
