60 ページ - I write of youth, of love, and have access By these, to sing of cleanly wantonness ; I sing of dews, of rains, and, piece by piece, Of balm, of oil, of spice, and ambergris ; I sing...
16 ページ - Scarba's isle, whose tortured shore Still rings to Corrievreken's roar, And lonely Colonsay ; — Scenes sung by him who sings no more ! His bright and' brief career is o'er, And mute his tuneful strains ; Quenched is his lamp of varied lore That loved the light of song to pour ; A distant and a deadly shore Has LEYDEN'S cold remains ! XII.

87 ページ - Bosom'd in woods where mighty rivers run, Kelso's fair vale expands before the sun : Its rising downs in vernal beauty swell, And fring'd with hazel winds each flowery dell: Green spangled plains to dimpling lawns succeed, And Tempe rises on the banks of Tweed. Blue o'er the river Kelso's shadow lies, And copse-clad isles amid the waters rise ; 386 Where Tweed her silent way majestic holds, Float the thin gales in more transparent folds.
49 ページ - Stands the huge trunk of many a leafless tree. No verdant wood-bine wreaths their age adorn ; Bare are the boughs, the gnarled roots uptorn. Here shone no sun-beam, fell no summer dew, Nor ever grass beneath the branches grew, Since that bold chief who Henry's power defied,* True to his country, as a traitor died.
24 ページ - Board, over whom a court-martial was at that very time impending. The medical line had been, from time immemorial, shut out from every appointment, except professional, and the emoluments of these had been greatly diminished just before my arrival. In this situation I found it very difficult at first what to resolve on. I saw clearly that there were only two routes in a person's choice ; first, to sink into a mere professional drudge, and, by strict economy, endeavour to collect a few thousand pounds...
81 ページ - Still doom'd by fate on weltering billows roll'd. Along the deep their restless course to hold, Scenting the storm, the shadowy sailors guide The prow with sails opposed to wind and tide ; The Spectre Ship, in livid glimpsing light, Glares baleful on the shuddering watch at night, Unblest of God and man !— Till time shall end. Its view strange horror to the storm shall lend.
