Strana 271 - How gloriously her gallant course she goes! Her white wings flying — never from her foes — She walks the waters like a thing of life, And seems to dare the elements to strife.
Strana 271 - Oh, who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried, And danced in triumph o'er the waters wide, The exulting sense - the pulse's maddening play, That thrills the wanderer of that trackless way?
Strana 303 - I long wooed your daughter, my suit you denied; — Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide,- And now am I come, with this lost love of mine, To lead but one measure, drink one cup of wine. There are maidens in Scotland more lovely by far, That would gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar.
Strana 285 - The waes o' my heart fa' in showers frae my e'e, While my gudeman lies sound by me. Young Jamie lo'ed me weel, and sought me for his bride ; But saving a crown, he had naething else beside. To make the crown a pound, my Jamie gaed to sea ; And the crown and the pound, they were baith for me ! He hadna been awa...

Strana 74 - The raging rocks And shivering shocks Shall break the locks Of prison gates ; And Phibbus' car Shall shine from far And make and mar The foolish Fates." This was lofty ! Now name the rest of the players. This is Ercles' vein, a tyrant's vein ; a lover is more condoling.
Strana 314 - The Montonera comes. And o'er the mighty Andes' heights In liberty she roams. " What hand e'er tried in empty space To arrest the morning star ? The Montonera's freeborn mind To enslave is harder far.
Strana 315 - Chingant$ra's fairy spell ; Swift the city ramparts leave, Nor heed the wakeful sentinel. Come ! beloved of my soul, — To the depths of ocean fly ; Where the dark blue billows roll Fearless plunge, nor fear to die. To the wild savanna fly ! Empty pomp of cities scorning ; There, beneath the vault of sky, Rest in safety till the morning. Come ! beloved of my soul, — To the sands of ocean come ; There no sounds shall meet thine ear Save curlew's pipe or bittern's drum. Hark ! the wakening earthquake's...
