First march the heavy mules securely slow ; O'er hills , o'er dales , o'er crags , o'er
rocks they go . Motion slow and difficult . A needless Alexandrine ends the song ,
That like a wounded snake , drags its slow length along . A rock torn from the ...

So pleas'd at first the tow'ring Alps we try , Mount o'er the vales , and seem to
tread the sky ; Th'etern snows appear already past , And the first clouds and
mountains seem the last ; But , those attain'd , we tremble to survey The growing
labours ...

The meek ey'd morn appears , mother of dews , At first faint gleaming in the
dappled east ; Till far o'er ether spreads the wid'ning glow ; And from before the
lustre of her face White break the clouds away . With quicken'd step Lrown night ...

REMOTE from cities liv'd a swain , Unvex'd with all the cares of gain ; His head
was silver'd o'er with age , And long experience made him sage ; In summer's
heat and winter's cold , He fed his flock and penn'd the fold ; His bours in cheerful

Sivu 274 - Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate, All but the page prescribed, their present state: From brutes what men, from men what spirits know: Or who could suffer being here below? The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood.
Sivu 274 - Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.
Sivu 199 - Boast not thyself of to-morrow ; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Sivu 259 - Religion ! what treasure untold Resides in that heavenly word ! More precious than silver and gold, Or all that this earth can afford.
Sivu 235 - Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep.
Sivu 262 - Ah little think the gay licentious proud, Whom pleasure, power, and affluence surround; They, who their thoughtless hours in giddy mirth, And wanton, often cruel, riot waste; Ah little think they, while they dance along, How many feel, this very moment, death And all the sad variety of pain.
Sivu 263 - Fairest of stars, last in the train of night, If better thou belong not to the dawn, Sure pledge of day, that crown'st the smiling morn With thy bright circlet, praise him in thy sphere, While day arises, that sweet hour of prime.
Sivu 155 - And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee...
Sivu 263 - And ye five other wand'ring fires, that move In mystic dance not without song, resound His praise, who out of darkness call'd up light. Air, and ye Elements, the eldest birth Of Nature's womb, that in quaternion run Perpetual circle, multiform, and mix And nourish all things ; let your ceaseless change Vary to our great Maker still new praise.
Sivu 154 - And now I stand, and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers; unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come; for which hope's sake, King Agrippa I am accused of the Jews.
