Pagina 15 - And still his name sounds stirring Unto the men of Rome As the trumpet-blast that cries to them To charge the Volscian home, And wives still pray to Juno For boys with hearts as bold As his who kept the bridge so well In the brave days of old.
Pagina 1 - Fair laughs the Morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly riding o'er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes: Youth on the prow and Pleasure at the helm : Regardless of the sweeping Whirlwind's sway, That hushed in grim repose expects his evening prey.
Pagina 198 - And in my breast the imperfect joys expire; Yet Morning smiles the busy race to cheer, And new-born pleasure brings to happier men; The fields to all their wonted tribute bear; To warm their little loves the birds complain.

Pagina 56 - Let the pit suck their oranges with forbearance, if not satisfaction, the boxes smother their yawns, the gallery abstain from hisses. Tragedy or comedy, touching melodrama or broad farce, the curtain must fall at last on all alike ; so in real life — clouds or sunshine, storm or calm, lolling on patent springs, or trudging footsore through the mire, — have but patience, brother : Be the day weary or never so long, At length it ringeth to even-song.
Pagina 18 - I want an explanation of something which my former experience has convinced me to be an undoubted fact ; and I do not wish my experience to be set at nought, as that of one who has never been down in the arena, and spilt his blood upon the thirsty sand. Why is it that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred those women who have been brought up chiefly amongst men, who have had no sisters, who have lost a mother early in life (doubtless for many reasons a sad affliction to a girl), who have been dependent...
Pagina 27 - THE DRONES HOW little does one half the world know how the other half lives. The streams of life, like the waters of the Rhine and the Moselle, though they flow down the same channel, fatten the same pastures, turn the same mill, and eddy over the same shoals, meet, but mingle not ; and what interests are there in common between No.
