Pagina 65 - EVEN such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with earth and dust; Who, in the dark and silent grave, When we have wandered all our ways, Shuts up the story of our days; But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust!
Pagina 352 - These are our realms, no limits to their sway Our flag the sceptre all who meet obey. Ours the wild life in tumult still to range From toil to rest, and joy in every change. Oh, who can tell? not thou, luxurious slave! Whose soul would sicken o'er the heaving wave; Not thou, vain lord of wantonness and ease!
Pagina 485 - He himself followed in his shroud. He was ' laid in his coffin, with much solemnity. The service for the ' dead was chanted, and Charles joined in the prayers which ' were offered up for the rest of his soul, mingling his tears ' with those which his attendants shed, as if they had been
Pagina 65 - Queen, At whose approach the soul of Petrarch wept ; And from thenceforth those graces were not seen, For they this Queen attended ; in whose stead Oblivion laid him down on Laura's hearse.

These, my Lords, were the causes why these people rose.
Pagina 92 - I return you many thanks for the honour you have done me ; but Europe is not to be saved by any single man. England has saved herself by her exertions, and will, as I trust, save Europe by her example.
Pagina 94 - The poor old general never moved a muscle of his face. He said merely, in a gentle voice, ' Will any one be kind enough to lift me off my horse?' He was taken down and laid on the ground, while his life-blood ebbed fast, and at last he was carried to the rear.
