Sayfa 264 - My grandmother sent for the minister next day, and upon pretence of a mad dog, got him to hang all his dogs. There was also difficulty of getting victuals to carry him without the servants suspecting. The only way it was done was by stealing it off her plate at dinner into her lap.

Sayfa 129 - To the young stranger's wond'ring ear, And check the half-swoln tear. Is it or modesty or pride Which may not open praise abide? No ; read his inward thoughts : they tell, His deeds of fame he prizes well. But ah! they in his fancy stand, As relics of a blighted band, Who, lost to man's approving sight, Have perish'd in the gloom of night, Ere yet the glorious light of day Had glitter'd on their bright array.

Sayfa 181 - ... name! When, but for those, our mighty dead, All ages past a blank would be, Sunk in oblivion's murky bed, — A desert bare, a shipless sea; They are the distant objects seen, — The lofty marks of what hath been.
Sayfa 181 - To earth-worn pilgrim's wistful eye The brightest rays of cheering shed, That point to immortality? A twinkling speck, but fixed and bright, To guide us through the dreary night, Each hero shines, and lures the soul To gain the distant happy goal. For is there one who, musing o'er the grave Where lies...
