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.
Page 100 - Yet mutinously knits his angry brow, And lifts his wilful hand on mischief bent, Or turns the godlike faculty of speech To impious use — by process indirect Declares his due, while he makes known his need.
