Página 130 - To men of other minds my fancy flies, Embosom'd in the deep where Holland lies. Methinks her patient sons before me stand, Where the broad ocean leans against the land, And sedulous to stop the coming tide, Lift the tall rampire's artificial pride. Onward methinks, and diligently slow, The firm connected bulwark seems to grow ; Spreads its long arms amidst the watery roar, Scoops out an empire, and usurps the shore...

Página 49 - For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms, And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes ; For her the spouse prepares the bridal ring ; For her white virgins hymeneals sing ; To sounds of heavenly harps she dies away, And melts in visions of eternal day. Far other dreams my erring soul employ, Far other raptures of unholy joy : When at the close of each sad, sorrowing day...

Página 15 - Nature warm, The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form. But, more unsteady than the southern gale, Soon Commerce turn'd on other shores her sail ; And late the nation found, with fruitless skill, Their former strength was now plethoric ill.
Página 131 - The city of Rotterdam has been greatly admired, and it is one which, when visited, will not disappoint the expectations which have been raised. As we proceeded through the streets on our way to the hotel, we felt delighted on viewing the regularity and grandeur of the houses, the splendour of the shops, the neatness of the streets, the crowds on the footpaths, the rows of trees, the broad canals, the forest of masts of large vessels, with the trees, lamps, and houses on the other side of the street...

Página 266 - I have seen the walls of Balclutha, but they were desolate. The fire had resounded in the halls ; and the voice of the people is heard no more. The stream of Clutha was removed from its place by the fall of the walls. The thistle shook there its lonely head.
