Sivu 337 - unhonour'd, and unsung. II. O Caledonia ! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child ! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires ! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand ! Still, as I view each well-known
Sivu 171 - Instruct me, for Thou know'st : Thou from the first Wast present, and, with mighty wings outspread, Dove-like sat'st brooding on the vast Abyss, And mad'st it pregnant : what in me is dark Illumine, what is low raise and support ; That, to the highth of this great argument, 1 I may assert
Sivu 183 - hour Forth reaching to the fruit, she plucked, she ate. Earth felt the wound ; and Nature from her seat, Sighing through all her works, gave signs of woe, That all was lost. Back to the thicket slunk The guilty serpent, and well might ; for Eve, Intent now wholly on her taste, naught

Sivu 182 - adorned With what all earth or heaven could bestow To make her amiable ; on she came, Led by her heavenly Maker, though unseen, And guided by his voice ; nor uninformed Of nuptial sanctity, and marriage rites. Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love.
Sivu 221 - first rises o'er the purpled main, Than, issuing forth, the rival of his beams Launched on the bosom of the silver Thames. Fair nymphs and well-dressed youths around her shone, But every eye was fixed on her alone. On her white breast a sparkling cross she wore, Which Jews might kiss, and infidels adore.
Sivu 170 - the oracle of God, I thence Invoke thy aid to my advent'rous song, That with no middle flight intends to soar Above the Aonian mount, 8 while it pursues Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme. And chiefly Thou, O Spirit, that dost prefer Before all temples the upright heart and pure,
Sivu 175 - that shadow seemed, For each seemed either—black it stood as Night, Fierce as ten Furies, terrible as Hell, And shook a dreadful dart : what seemed his head The likeness of a kingly crown had on. Satan was now at hand, and from his seat The monster moving onward came as fast With horrid strides ; Hell trembled as he strode.
