Strana 334 - Proud names, who once the reins of empire held ; In arms who triumph'd, or in arts excell'd ; Chiefs, grac'd with scars, and prodigal of blood; Stern patriots, who for sacred freedom stood ; Just men, by whom impartial laws were given ; And saints who taught, and led, the way to Heaven...

Strana 337 - When, stretch'd before her rival's corse, She saw her husband dead. Then to his Lucy's new-made grave, Convey'd by trembling swains, One mould with her, beneath one sod, For ever he remains.
Strana 335 - If pensive to the rural shades I rove, His shape o'ertakes me in the lonely grove : 'Twas there of Just and Good he...
Strana 335 - There taught us how to live; and (oh! too high The price for knowledge) taught us how to die.
Strana 259 - Then fets th' inverted fort before her eyes, And mines, that whirl'd battalions to the Ikies ; His little liftening progeny turn pale, And beg again to hear the dreadful tale. Such dire achievements...
