Pagina 336 - Full long this lesson, Pupil fair ! All pupils else hath he forsook ; He draws still nearer to thy chair, And bends yet closer o'er the book. As time flies on, now fast, now fleeter, More slowly is the page turned o'er ; The lesson seems to both the sweeter, And more enchanting grows the lore. The book now yields a tenderer theme ; The Master loses all his art, The Pupil droops as in a dream, And both are reading with one heart.

From many a language, old, enchanting, Rare truths to nations he unrolls ; But one old language...
Pagina 337 - ... His eyes upraised a moment glisten With hope, and joy, and fear profound ; While thine, oh, Maiden ! do they listen ? They seem to hear his sigh's faint sound ! But hark ! what sound indeed breaks through The silence of that life-long hour ! Melodious tinklings, such as sue For favour near a lady's bower. Ah ! Maid of Padua, music swelling In tribute to thy radiant charms, Now greets thee in thy father's dwelling, To woo thee from a father's arms. The suitor comes with song and lute, Youth, riches,...

The entrance to this place is spacious, with almost perpendicular mountains on either hand, one of which, from its peculiar form, is called the Sugar Loaf.
