Page 158 - Beside yon straggling fence that skirts the way, With blossom'd furze unprofitably gay, There, in his noisy mansion, skill'd to rule, The village master taught his little school ; A man severe he was, and stern to view, I knew him well, and every truant knew...
Page 158 - A man severe he was, and stern to view, I knew him well, and every truant knew : Well had the boding tremblers learned to trace The day's disasters in his morning face ; Full well they laughed with counterfeited glee At all his jokes, for many a joke had he ; Full well the busy whisper circling round, Conveyed the dismal tidings when he frowned.

Page 100 - O for the coming of that glorious time When, prizing knowledge as her noblest wealth And best protection, this imperial Realm, While she exacts allegiance, shall admit An obligation, on her part, to teach Them who are born to serve her and obey ; Binding herself by statute to secure For all the children whom her soil maintains The rudiments of letters, and inform The mind with moral and religious truth...
Page 450 - Twas her own country bred the flock so fair ; 'Twas her own labor did the fleece prepare ; And, sooth to say, her pupils, ranged around. Through pious awe did term it passing rare ; For they in gaping wonderment abound, And think, no doubt, she been the greatest wight on ground...
Page 210 - But oh ! what solemn scenes on Snowdon's height Descending slow their glittering skirts unroll? Visions of glory, spare my aching sight ! Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul I No more our long-lost Arthur we bewail, All hail, ye genuine kings, Britannia's issue, hail I HI.
