Pagina 138 - Though my perishing ranks should be strewed in their gore, Like ocean-weeds heaped on the surf-beaten shore, Lochiel, untainted by flight or by chains, While the kindling of life in his bosom remains, Shall victor exult, or in death be laid low, With his back to the field, and his feet to the foe ! And leaving in battle no blot on his name, Look proudly to heaven from the death-bed of fame.
Pagina 157 - There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore. There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature more...
Pagina 242 - AT every motion of our breath. Life trembles on the brink of death, A taper's flame that upward turns, While downward to the dust it burns.
Pagina 196 - Ever charming, ever new, When will the landscape tire the view! The fountain's fall, the river's flow, The woody valleys warm and low; The windy summit, wild and high, Roughly rushing on the sky; The pleasant seat, the ruined tower, The naked rock, the shady bower; The town and village, dome and farm, Each give each a double charm, As pearls upon an Ethiop's arm.
Pagina 141 - Tis the fire-shower of ruin all dreadfully driven From his eyrie, that beacons the darkness of heaven. Oh, crested Lochiel ! the peerless in might, Whose banners arise on the battlements' height, Heaven's fire is around thee, to blast and to burn ; Return to thy dwelling ! all lonely return ! For the blackness of ashes shall mark where it stood, And a wild mother scream o'er her famishing brood.
Pagina 138 - Stuart is come over to claim the crown of his ancestors, to win it, or to perish in the attempt; Lochiel, who, my father has often told me, was our firmest friend, may stay at home, and learn from the newspapers the fate of his prince...
Pagina 28 - I feel, with an intensity unfathomable by words, my utter nothingness, impotence, and worthlessness, in and for myself. I have learned what a sin is against an infinite imperishable being, such as is the soul of man...
Pagina 200 - ... occasion of our weak brother's falling, the which will be all required at their hands ; which will be too heavy a burden for them to bear, if they repent it not with speed. For they that know their Master's will, and do it not, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Pagina 243 - belonging to the descendants of that old chief who said there were but three persons in the world entitled to be called ' The ' — the King, the Pope, and the Chisholm.
Pagina 17 - ALL GLORY AND PRAISE BE GIVEN To GOD THE FATHER, THE SON AND HOLY GHOST, ON HIGH. PEACE UPON EARTH. GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN. HONOUR AND TRUE ALLEGIANCE TO OUR GRACIOUS KING. LOVING AFFECTIONS AMONGST His SUBJECTS. HEALTH AND PLENTY WITHIN THIS HOUSE.
