Trang 107 - THOU, to whom the world unknown, With all its shadowy shapes, is shown Who seest, appall'd, the' unreal scene, While Fancy lifts the veil between; Ah Fear! ah frantic Fear! I see, I see thee near.
Trang 130 - Under the shade of waving trees, On the green bank of fountain clear, At pensive eve I sit at ease, While dying music murmurs near. And oft on point of airy clift, That hangs upon the western main, I watch the gay tints passing swift, And twilight veil the liquid plain.
Trang 43 - O'er his sad couch, and in the balm ... . Of bland oblivion's dews his burning eyes to steep. Full oft, unknowing and unknown, He wore his endless noons alone, Amid th...
Trang 156 - If e'er my cheek was confcious of a tear, 'Till Cynthia came and rob'd my foul of reft ! 0 have you feen, bath'd in the morning dew, The budding rofe its infant bloom difplay ; When firft its virgin tints unfold to view, It fhrinks and fcarcely trufts the blaze of day. So foft, fo delicate, fo fweet...
Trang 284 - Self preservation is the great law of nature; when a reptile hurts us, or an animal of prey threatens us, we think no farther, but endeavour to annihilate it. When my life., or what may be essential to my life, requires the sacrifice of another, or even if some passion, wholly unconquerable, requires it, I should be a madman to hesitate.
Trang 282 - Marquis in a slow and solemn voice, which it requires all our wisdom to keep from interfering with our happiness; certain set notions, acquired in infancy, and cherished involuntarily by age, which grow up and assume a gloss so plausible, that few minds, in what is called a civilized country, can afterwards overcome them. Truth is often perverted by education. While the refined Europeans boast a standard of honour and a sublimity of virtue which often leads them from pleasure to misery, and from...
Trang 131 - Slow swells the strain upon mine ear ; Now faintly falls — now warbles low, Till rapture melts into a tear. The ray that silvers o'er the dew, And trembles through the leafy shade, And tints the scene with softer hue, Calls me to rove the lonely glade ; Or hie me to some...
Trang 44 - I speak — to you reveal the story of my wrongs, and ask you to avenge them. Vain hope ! yet it imparts some comfort to believe it possible that what I now write may one day meet the eye of a fellow-creature, that the words which tell my sufferings may one day draw pity from the feeling...
Trang 155 - And longer had fhe fang,— but, with a frown, Revenge impatient rofe, He threw his blood-ftain'd fword in thunder down, And, with a withering look, The war-denouncing trumpet took, And blew a blaft fo loud and dread, Were ne'er prophetic founds fo full of woe.
Trang 134 - The airy elegance with which it was fitted up, and the luxurious accommodations with which it abounded, seemed designed to fascinate the imagination and to seduce the heart. The hangings were of straw-coloured silk, adorned with a variety of landscapes and historical paintings, the subjects of which partook of the voluptuous character of the owner : the chimney-piece, of Parian marble, was ornamented...
