Strana 279 - His life was constant, cheerful servitude : Strange to the world, he wore a bashful look, The fields his study, Nature was his book...
Strana 285 - With bristles raised the sudden noise they hear, And ludicrously wild, and wing'd with fear. The herd decamp with more than swinish speed, And snorting dash through sedge, and rush, and reed: Through tangling thickets headlong on they go, Then stop and listen for their fancied foe ; The hindmost still the growing panic spreads, Repeated fright the first alarm succeeds...
Strana 283 - O'er the smooth plantain-leaf, a spacious plain ! Thence higher still, by countless steps convey'd, He gains the summit of a shiv'ring blade, And flirts his filmy wings, and looks around, Exulting in his distance from the ground.
Strana 283 - Just starting from the corn, he cheerly sings, And trusts with conscious pride his downy wings ; Still louder breathes, and in the face of day Mounts up, and calls on Giles to mark his way. Close to his eyes his hat he instant bends, And forms a friendly telescope, that lends Just aid enough to dull the glaring light, And place the...
Strana 84 - Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky way?
Strana 292 - Low, on the utmost bound'ry of the sight, The rising vapours catch the silver light; Thence Fancy measures, as they parting fly, Which first will throw its shadow on the eye, Passing the source of light; and thence away, Succeeded quick by brighter still than they. For yet above these wafted clouds are seen (In a remoter sky, still more serene,) Others, detach'd in ranges through the air, Spotless as snow, and countless as they're fair; Scatter'd immensely wide from east to west, The beauteous 'semblance...
Strana 284 - midst storms and floods, The thund'ring chase, the yellow fading woods, Invite my song ; that fain would boldly tell Of upland coverts, and the echoing dell, By turns resounding loud, at eve and morn, The swineherd's halloo, or the huntsman's horn. No more the fields with scatter'd grain supply The restless...
Strana 158 - That tongue which set the table in a roar, And charmed the public ear, is heard no more ! Closed are those eyes, the harbingers of wit, Which spake before the tongue what Shakespeare writ : Cold is that hand, which, living, was stretched forth At Friendship's call, to succour modest worth. Here lies James Quin — Deign, reader, to be taught Whate'er thy strength of body, force of thought, In Nature's happiest mould however cast, To this complexion thou must come at...
Strana 292 - Far yet above these wafted clouds are seen (In a remoter sky, still more serene,) Others, detach'd in ranges through the air, Spotless as snow, and countless as they're fair, Scatter'd immensely wide from east to west, The beauteous semblance of a flock at rest These, to the raptured mind, aloud proclaim Their MIGHTY SHEPHERD'S everlasting Name.
Strana 33 - walks" already spoken of, at a time when life had little or no other pleasure for us on account of poverty and ill-health, were taken at pretty regular intervals two or three times a year. It all depended on our means; in very lean years there was but one outing. It was impossible to escape altogether from the immense unfriendly wilderness of London simply because, albeit "unfriendly...
