423 ページ - And lead him near to little, but his last ; But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth, The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth ; Flowers in the valley, splendour in the beam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream. Immortal man ! behold her glories shine, And cry, exulting inly,
421 ページ - As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night, O'er Heaven's clear azure spreads her sacred light, When not a breath disturbs the deep serene, And not a cloud o'ercasts the solemn scene ; Around her throne the vivid planets roll, And stars unnumber'd gild the glowing pole, O'er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain's head ; Then shine the vales, the rocks in prospect rise, A flood of glory bursts from all the skies : The conscious swains, rejoicing in the sight, Eye...

" The inhabitants of Parga are Albanian Greeks, extremely tenacious of their freedom, and of the liberty of their small community, and habitually adverse to the dominion of the Turks. They are a spirited and an independent people, though, at the same time, docile and easy of command when treated liberally and justly ; and all the male population are trained to arms, and expert in the use of them.
148 ページ - All himself killed two horses in his precipitate escape ; and when he arrived at his capital, he shut himself up in his harem for several days, where he admitted no one to his presence, except a few of his most confidential friends.

32 ページ - Grecian topers drank (lu.i •-.'., many of whom filled two and others even three goblets with wine ; then taking up one with the right hand they applied it to their lips pouring the contents of the other two into it with the left, and never moving the cup from the mouth till the whole of the liquor was dispatched : these triplets were received by the rest of the company with unbounded applause.
