Страница 203 - Where low-browed baseness wafts perfume to pride. No ! Men, high-minded men, With powers as far above dull brutes endued, In forest, brake or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude ; Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain, Prevent the long-aimed blow, And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain, — These constitute a State ; And sovereign law, that State's collected will, • O'er thrones and globes elate Sits empress, crowning good, repressing...
Страница 281 - Selkirk's interest with his king, and esteeming, as I do, his private character, I wished to make him the happy instrument of alleviating the horrors of hopeless captivity, when the brave are overpowered and made prisoners of war.

Страница 261 - Though oft the ear the open vowels tire; While expletives their feeble aid do join; And ten low words oft creep in one dull line: While they ring round the same unvaried chimes With sure returns of still expected rhymes: Where'er you find "the cooling western breeze...

Страница 282 - The amiable lieutenant lay mortally wounded, besides near forty of the inferior officers and crew, killed and wounded: a melancholy demonstration of the uncertainty of human prospects, and of the sad reverse of fortune which an hour can produce.

Страница 364 - EXTRACT FROM NORTH'S LIFE OF THE LORD KEEPER GUILFORD.* The Lord Chief Justice Saunders succeeded in the room of Pemberton. His character and his beginning were equally strange.
