Strana 25 - Earth satiate clos'd. Thus this fair city fell, of which the name Survives alone ; nor is there found a mark, Whereby the curious passenger may learn Her ample site, save coins, and mouldering urns. And huge unwieldy bones, lasting remains Of that gigantic race ; which, as he breaks The clotted glebe, the ploughman haply finds, Appall'd. Upon that treacherous tract of land, She whilome stood ; now Ceres, in her prime, Smiles fertile, and with ruddiest freight bedeck'd, The apple-tree, by our forefathers...
Strana 201 - No pleaung intricacies intervene, No artful wildnefs to perplex the fcene ; Grove nods at Grove, each Alley has a brother, And half the platform juft reflects the other. The...
Strana 24 - Obftruft the eafy way ; the rocking town Supplants their footfteps; to, and fro, they reel Aftonifh'd, as o'er-charg'd with wine ; when lo ! The ground aduft her riven mouth difparts, Horrible chafm ; profound ! with fwift defcent Old Ariconium finks, and all her tribes, Heroes, and fenators, down to the realms Of endlefs night. Meanwhile, the loofen'd winds Infuriate, molten rocks and flaming globes Hurl'd high above the clouds ; till all their force Confum'd, her ravenous jaws th
Strana 56 - Gaily' interchang'd, with rich variety Pleasing ; as when an emerald green, enchas'd ; In flamy gold, from the bright mass acquire* A nobler hue, more delicate to sight.
Strana 51 - Lord Charles, by the grace of God King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, &c.
Strana 24 - The finking hearts of men. Where fhould they turn, Diftrefs'd ? Whence feek for aid, when from below Hell threatens, and ev'n Fate fupreme gives figns Of wrath and defolation ? Vain were vows, And plaints, and fuppliant hands, to Heav'n erec>.
Strana 55 - Herbage moots; th' unfallow'd Glebe Yearly o'ercomes the Granaries with Store Of Golden Wheat, the Strength of Human Life. Lo, on auxiliary Poles, the Hops Afcending fpiral, rang'd in meet Array ! Lo, how the Arable with Barley-Grain Stands thick, o'er-fhadow'd, to the thirfty Hind Tranfporting ProfpecT; ! Thefe, as modern Ufe Ordains, infus'd, an Auburn Drink compofe, Wholefome, of deathlefs Fame.
Strana 24 - Forc'd by the sudden shock, her wonted track Forsook, and drew her humid train aslope, Crankling her banks : and now the lowering sky, And baleful lightning, and the thunder, voice Of angry gods, that rattled solemn, dismay'd The sinking hearts of men.
Strana 160 - Hiftory of his native county, a work for which he was eminently qualified not only by his great and general learning, but as being particularly an excellent Naturalift and Antiquary.
Strana 204 - How nobly does this venerable wood, Gilt with the glories of the orient sun, Embosom yon fair mansion ! The soft air Salutes me with most cool and temp'rate breath ; And, as I tread, the flow'r-besprinkled lawn Sends up a gale, of fragrance. I should guess, If e'er Content deign'd visit mortal clime, This was her place of dearest residence.
