Trang 207 - Essay ? praised the caution with which it was written ; and said, he did not wonder that it had employed me five or six years. He asked about my poems.

Trang 4 - To bleed for man, to teach him how to live, And oh ! still harder lesson ! how to die ; Disdain not Thou to smooth the restless bed Of Sickness and of Pain. Forgive the tear That feeble Nature drops, calm all her fears, Wake all her hopes, and animate her faith, Till my rapt soul, anticipating Heav'n, Bursts from the thraldom of incumb'ring clay, And on the wing of ecstasy upborne, Springs into Liberty, and Light, and Life.

Trang 453 - ... long habit, the remembrance of so many illustrious periods, and so many various and mutual relations, had rendered dear to such a number of princes — which had so often been guaranteed by all the European powers, and even by France herself — to lay contributions on the cities and towns in the midst of profound peace, and leave the new possessions only an exhausted skeleton — to abolish this constitution without consulting the emperor of Germany...
Trang 4 - O rather lend Thy kindly aid to mitigate his stroke, And at that hour when all aghast I stand (A trembling candidate for thy compassion) On this world's brink, and look into the next ; When my soul, starting from the dark unknown...
Trang 4 - Yet still they breathe destruction, still go on Inhumanly ingenious to find out New pains for life, new terrors for the grave. Artificers of Death ! Still monarchs dream Of universal empire growing up From universal ruin. Blast the design, Great God of Hosts, nor let thy creatures fall Unpitied victims at Ambition's shrine...
