Էջ 196 - Puss was tamed by gentle usage ; Tiney was not to be tamed at all ; and Bess had a courage and confidence that made him tame from the beginning.
Էջ 410 - The bell strikes One. We take no note of time But from its loss : to give it then a tongue Is wise in man. As if an angel spoke I feel the solemn sound. If heard aright, It is the knell of my departed hours. Where are they? With the years beyond the flood.
Էջ 316 - As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night, O'er Heaven's clear azure spreads her sacred light, When not a breath disturbs the deep serene, And not a cloud o'ercasts the solemn scene ; Around her throne the vivid planets roll, And stars unnumber'd gild the glowing pole, O'er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain's head...

Էջ 250 - SomeSometimes, indeed, there is a fort of whim or affectation of fingularity, in the manner of conferring her favours, that looks as if the defire of being fpoken of, fully as much as the defire of doing good, was the fountain from which they flow. For example — A young officer, who attended the court* fell in love, as was natural, with a young lady.
Էջ 414 - This instrument is called naffa; and with the chink turned toward them, they sit and beat strongly upon it with two cylindrical pieces of hard wood about a foot long, and as thick as the wrist ; by which means they produce a rude, though loud and powerful sound. They vary the strength and rate of their beating at different parts of the dance ; and also change the tones by beating in the middle, or near the end of their drum. The first dance...
Էջ 240 - The heart that melts for others' woe, Shall then scarce feel its own. The wounds which now each moment bleed, Each moment then shall close; And tranquil days shall still succeed To nights of calm repose.
