REMARK.

co-ord.

EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE.

54. Analyse the following sentences according to the method just explaine d.

1. Bourdaloue is indeed a great reasoner, and inculcates his doctrines with much zeal, piety, and earnestness; but his style is verbose, he is disagreeably full of quotations from the fathers, and he wants imagination.

2. Sir Andrew Freeport's notions of trade are noble and generous; and, as every rich man has usually some sly way of jesting, which would make no great figure were he not a great man, he calls the sea a British common.

3. High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus or of Inde;

Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand,
Showers on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat.

4. A man of polite imagination is led into a great many pleasures, that the vulgar are not capable of receiving; for he can converse with a picture, and find an agreeable companion in a statue.

5. He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavours after it by false merit, has to fear not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of the vessel.

6. Who noble ends by noble means obtains,
Or failing smiles in exile or in chains,
Like good Aurelius should he reign, or bleed
Like Socrates, that man is blessed indeed.

7. Some dream that they can silence, when they will,
The storm of passion, and say "Peace, be still,"
But "thus far and no further" when addressed
To the wild waves, or wilder human breast,
Implies authority, that never can

And never ought to be the lot of man.

8. Fond of the speculative height,

Thither he wings his airy flight,
And thence securely sees
The bustle and the raree show,
That occupy mankind below,
Secure and at his ease.

9. Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were seen;
Like the leaves of the forest, when Autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown;

For the Angel of death spread his wings on the blast,

And breathed in the face of the foe as he past.

10. Ye mariners of England,

Who guard our native seas,

Whose flag hath braved a thousand years,

The battle and the breeze!

Your glorious standard launch again

To match another foe,

And sweep through the deep

While the stormy tempests blow.

11. He staid not for brake, and he stopped not for stone, He swam the Esk river, where ford there was none; But ere he alighted at Netherby gate,

12.

The bride had consented, the gallant came late,
For a laggard in love and a dastard in war
Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.

I remember, when the fight was done,
When I was dry with rage and extreme toil,
Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword,
Came there a certain lord, neat, trimly dressed,
Fresh as a bridegroom, and his chin new reaped
Shewed like a stubble land at harvest home.

13. When nature underneath a heap Of jarring atoms lay,

And could not heave her head,

The tuneful voice was heard from high,

"Arise ye more than dead!"

Then hot and cold, and moist and dry

In order to their stations leap,

And music's power obey.

14. An extensive contemplation of human affairs will lead us to this conclusion, that among the different conditions of men the balance of happiness is preserved in a great measure equal; and that the high and low, the rich and the poor, approach much nearer to each other, than it is commonly imagined.

15.

Great Heaven! I'd rather be

A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn,
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses, that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus, coming from the sea,

Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
