Sivu 76 - Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly riding o'er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes; Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm; Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway, That, hush'd in grim repose, expects his evening prey.
Sivu 148 - Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf ; And that which should accompany old age, As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have ; but, in their stead, Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.
Sivu 21 - ... holy book : Ho ho ! at the corners they 'gan to rise, For he knew that the thing had a lovely guise, And he could not choose but look. There are many devils that walk this world, — Devils large, and devils small ; Devils so meagre, and devils so stout ; Devils with horns, and devils without ; Sly devils that go with their tails upcurled, Bold devils that carry them quite unfurled ; Meek devils, and devils that brawl ; Serious devils, and laughing devils ; Imps for churches, and imps for revels...
Sivu 119 - Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift As meditation or the thoughts of love, May sweep to my revenge.
Sivu 38 - Our cuirassiers have burst on the ranks of the Accurst, And at a shock have scattered the forest of his pikes. Fast, fast, the gallants ride, in some safe nook to hide Their coward heads, predestined to rot on...
Sivu 57 - House, where there are many who have taken their seats for the first time upon these benches, and where there may be some to whom possibly I may avail myself of the privilege of old age to offer a recommendation. I would tell them of my own intention to keep my counsel and reserve my own freedom until I see the...
Sivu 60 - When he had wrought the lovely instrument, He tried the chords, and made division meet, Preluding with the plectrum, and there went Up from beneath his hand a tumult sweet Of mighty sounds, and from his lips he sent A strain of unpremeditated wit Joyous and wild and wanton — such you may Hear among revellers on a holiday.
Sivu 304 - Wha will be a traitor knave ? Wha can fill a coward's grave ? Wha sae base as be a slave ? Let him turn and flee ! Wha for Scotland's king and law Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Freeman stand, or freeman fa...
Sivu 244 - ... be so utterly lost to every feeling and dictate of honour and courage as to hand over coldly, and for the sake of purchasing a short and illusory Parliamentary tranquillity, the lives and liberties of the Loyalists of Ireland to their hereditary and most bitter foes, make no doubt on this point — Ulster will not be a consenting party; Ulster at the proper moment will resort to the supreme arbitrament of force; Ulster will fight, Ulster will be right...
Sivu 18 - The Devil was in the best humour that day That ever his highness was in : And that's why he sent out his imps to play, And he furnished them torches to light their way, Nor stinted them incense to burn as they may, — Sulphur, and pitch, and rosin. So they came to the Saint in a motley crew, A heterogeneous rout : There were imps of every shape and hue, And some looked black, and some looked blue, And they passed and varied before the view, And twisted themselves about : And had they exhibited thus...
