Strana 151 - No towers along the steep; Her march is o'er the mountain waves, Her home is on the deep. With thunders from her native oak, She quells the floods below, — As they roar on the shore, When the stormy winds do blow ; When the battle rages loud and long, And the stormy winds do blow.
Strana 136 - Mine through sunshine, storm, and snows; Seasons may roll, But the true soul Burns the same, where'er it goes.

Strana 27 - Rich in the gems of India's gaudy zone, And plunder piled from kingdoms not their own, Degenerate trade ! thy minions could despise The heart-born anguish of a thousand cries ; -Could lock, with impious hands, their teeming store, While...
Strana 201 - Hope, of all passions, most befriends us here ; Passions of prouder name befriend us less. Joy has her tears ; and transport has her death : Hope, like a cordial, innocent, though strong, Man's heart, at once, inspirits and serenes...
Strana 251 - by what charm it is that these ' Surprising Adventures' should have instantly pleased, and always pleased, it will be found, that few books have ever so naturally mingled amusement with instruction.
