Էջ 181 - And all together pray. While each to his great Father bends, Old men, and babes, and loving friends And youths and maidens gay!
Էջ 181 - When the ivy-tod is heavy with snow, And the owlet whoops to the wolf below, That eats the she-wolf's young.
Էջ 164 - Adieu!" At length, his transient respite past, His comrades, who before Had heard his voice in every blast, Could catch the sound no more: For then, by toil subdued, he drank The stifling wave, and then he sank.
