Strana iii - Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
Strana 159 - Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Strana iii - Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
Strana 103 - Of mighty waters: now th' inflated wave Straining they scale, and now impetuous shoot Into the secret chambers of the deep, The wintry Baltic thundering o'er their head. Emerging thence again, before the breath...
Strana 114 - Ocean, unequal press'd, with broken tide And blind commotion heaves ; while from the shore, Eat into caverns by the restless wave, And forest-rustling mountain, comes a voice, That solemn sounding bids the world prepare. Then issues forth the storm with audden burst, And hurls the whole precipitated air, Down, in a torrent.
Strana 127 - The natives, while the ship departs the land, Ashore with admiration gazing stand. Majestically slow, before the breeze, In silent pomp she marches on the seas ; Her milk-white bottom cast a softer gleam, While trembling through the green translucen stream.
Strana 127 - The imperial flag that rules the watery world. Deep blushing armors all the tops invest, And warlike trophies .either quarter drest : Then tower'd the masts, the canvas swell'd on high, And waving streamers floated in the sky. Thus the rich vessel moves in trim array, Like some fair virgin on her bridal day ; Thus, like a swan, she cleaved the watery plain, The pride and wonder of the JEgean main.
Strana 104 - Under these circumstances we feel ourselves obliged to report, in our opinion, a few days more of such exposure as they have already undergone, would reduce the number of the crew, by sickness, to such an extent as to hazard the safety of the ship and the lives of all on board.
Strana 188 - And reaped her crops; whose garments were the clouds, Whose minstrels, brooks ; whose lamps, the moon and stars ; Whose organ-choir, the voice of many waters ; Whose banquets, morning dews; whose heroes, storms ; -Whose warriors, mighty winds; whose lovers, flowers ; Whose orators, the thunderbolts of God ; Whose palaces, the everlasting hills ; Whose ceiling, heaven's unfathomable blue...
Strana 88 - That, tossed amid the floating fragments, moors Beneath the shelter of an icy isle, While night o'erwhelms the sea, and horror looks More horrible. Can human force endure The assembled mischiefs that besiege them round?
