Pagina 85 - Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not ; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Pagina ii - Then, welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!
Pagina 80 - The only condition on which they can live in harmony, and the country progress, is equality all round. South Africa can prosper under two, three, or six Governments, but not under two absolutely conflicting social and political systems, perfect equality for Dutch and British in the British Colonies side by side with permanent subjection of British to Dutch in one of the Republics.
Pagina 101 - Or all, they said, as earnest as the close ? Which yet with such a framework scarce could be. Then rose a little feud betwixt the two, Betwixt the mockers and the realists : And I, betwixt them both, to please them both, And yet to give the story as it rose, I moved as in a strange diagonal, And maybe neither pleased myself nor them.

Pagina 261 - The friends he loved, he served through good and ill, The man struck down, he served the memory still ; Nor, toiling, asked more recompense of fame Than to be coupled with another's name. Thus, in despite of that hard Scripture which Shuts up the poor man's heaven against the rich, Devotion learned from Dives to be true, And Britons to be patriots from a Jew. A monument which envy cannot shake, Which millions never made, nor can unmake.
Pagina 238 - Here— here's his place, where meteors shoot, clouds form, Lightnings are loosened, Stars come and go! Let joy break with the storm, Peace let the dew send! Lofty designs must close in like effects: Loftily lying, Leave him — still loftier than the world suspects, Living and dying.
Pagina 183 - Where'er I fall, like yonder ripped Old elm, there lay me ; so but one Small brass hang where the solemn crypt Gives respite from the Cape Town sun, Hard by the hurrying street, alive With strength and youth : 'tis all I claim, That where the heart is, there survive The dust and shadow of a name.
