Էջ 40 - And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth : Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole.
Էջ 248 - Tremble thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob ; Which turned the rock into a standing water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
Էջ 247 - Thou preparedst room before it, And didst cause it to take deep root, And it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, And her branches unto the river.
Էջ 38 - Who wickedly is wise, or madly brave, Is but the more a fool, the more a knave.

Էջ 213 - We came to our journey's end, at last, with no small difficulty, after much fatigue, through deep roads, and bad weather.
Էջ 248 - When the whole is put for a part, or a part for the whole; a genus for a species, or a species for a genus ; in general, when any thing less, or any thing more, is put for the precise object meant; the figure is then called a Synecdoche or Comprehension. It is very common, for instance, to describe a whole object by some remarkable part of it; as when we say "A fleet of twenty sail" in the place of "ships;" when we use the "head" for the "person" the "waves
Էջ 38 - Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
