Pagina 338 - That shepherd who first taught the chosen seed, In the beginning how the heavens and earth Rose out of chaos...
Pagina 305 - With many a weary step, and many a groan, Up a high hill, he heaves a huge round stone; The huge round stone, resulting with a bound, Thunders impetuous down, and smokes along the ground.
Pagina 15 - Swinging slow with sullen roar; Or if the air will not permit, Some still removed place will fit, Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom...
Pagina 105 - Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause awhile from letters, to be wise; There mark what ills the scholar's life assail, Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.
Pagina 105 - For patience sov'reign o'er transmuted ill; For faith, that panting for a happier seat, Counts death kind Nature's signal of retreat: These goods for man the laws of heav'n ordain, These goods he grants, who grants the pow'r to gain; With these celestial wisdom calms the mind, And makes the happiness she does not find.

Pagina 140 - twixt the leaders and the last ; The nags that move behind them are the good old Queensland stamp — Short backs and perfect shoulders that are priceless on a camp; And these are Men that ride them, broad-chested, tanned, and tall, The bravest hearts amongst us and the lightest hands of all: Oh, let them wade in Wonga grass and taste the Wonga dew, And let them spread, those thousand head — for we've been droving too!
