Página 406 - Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a mother's mind And no unworthy aim, The homely nurse doth all she can To make her foster-child, her inmate, Man, Forget the glories he hath known And that imperial palace whence he came. Behold the Child among his newborn blisses, A six years
Página 165 - Saviour dear, Blessed and welcome be Thou here. Thou laid'st thy great dominion by, On a poor virgin's breast to lie ! Thou didst to glory consecrate And heavenly joy, our poor estate; Our yoke, our sins, on Thee didst lay, Our penance on the cross didst pay ! Didst rise triumphant from beneath !' Didst overcome the might of death ! To Heaven, which opened, didst arise, Received with...
Página 443 - Autumn came, and saw, by frosts unblighted, Wave the golden harvest for the reaper. Then fell Pavo on his knees, thus speaking : " God hath only tried us, not forsaken !" On her knees his wife fell, and thus said she : " God hath only tried us, not forsaken !"

Página 240 - ... may also mention the Dane JN Madvig, the greatest Latin scholar of the last century, a scholar who created a new epoch in the study of the old texts. The scholars of all lands accept his views as final. He who would write the history of electricity must study the life of the great Dane, HC Oersted.
