31 ページ - Noble he was, contemning all things mean, His truth unquestion'd and his soul serene: Of no man's presence Isaac felt afraid; At no man's question Isaac look'd dismay'd: Shame knew him not, he dreaded no disgrace...
31 ページ - ... knew None his superior, and his equals few; But if that spirit in his soul had place, It was the jealous pride that shuns disgrace; A pride in honest fame, by virtue gained, In sturdy boys to virtuous labours trained ; Pride in the power that guards his country's coast, And all that Englishmen enjoy and boast ; Pride in a life that slander's tongue defied, In fact, a noble passion, misnamed pride.
31 ページ - ... should call him, Ashford might succeed ; Nor pride in rustic skill, although we knew None his superior, and his equals few : — But if that spirit in his soul...
26 ページ - I spoke what the shepherds opine, A fop were ashamed to repeat. She is soft as the dew-drops that fall From the lip of the sweet-scented pea; Perhaps when she smil'd upon all, I have thought that she smil'd upon me. But why of her charms should I tell? Ah me ! whom her charms have undone Yet I love the reflection too well, The painful reflection to shun. Ye souls of more delicate kind, Who feast not on pleasure alone, Who wear the soft sense of the mind, To the sons of the world still unknown. Ye...
31 ページ - At once, by death, death's ling'ring power to brave — He will not sink, but plunge into the grave — Exhaust his mighty heart in one last sigh, And rally life's whole energy — to die. Unfear'd is now that cord, which oft...
31 ページ - I'll resign my charter ; If he, for ten kind How-d'ye-do's, One kind Good-bye would barter ! " From Love and Friendship's kindred source We both derive existence ; And they would both lose half their force Without our joint assistance. " 'Tis well the world our merit knows, Since time, there's no denying, One half in How-d'ye-doing goes, And t'other in Good-byeing.
23 ページ - Parsons and his wretched friend, Firmly resolv'd the monster to subdue. But when they saw the door, the hostile band, Aw'd by the danger, made a solemn stand. While thus they paus'd, with apprehension pale, A Serjeant bold, who sent the waiter there, Now seiz'd the direful cause of all their care, A hairy knapsack, — and so ends the tale.
23 ページ - At first he thought some danger might be near, But soon accus'd his trembling friend of fear, The wild illusion of a slumbering brain ; " For heaven's sake hush," with moans the other said, " A lion's at the bottom of the bed, My foot this moment touch'd his shaggy mane.
31 ページ - WILL then no pitying sword its succour lend, The Gladiator's mortal throes to end ; To free th' unconquer'd mind, whose gen'rous pow'r Triumphs o'er nature in her saddest hour ? Bow'd low, and full of death, his head declines ; Yet o'er his brow indignant valour shines, Still glares his closing eye with angry light, Now glares, now darkens with approaching night. Think not with terror heaves that sinewy breast— 'Tis vengeance visible, and pain supprest...
