Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife, The royal banner ; and all quality. Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war !

382. oldal - A good man and an angel ! these between How thin the barrier ! what divides their fate ? Perhaps a moment, or perhaps a year ; Or if an age it is a moment still ; A moment, or eternity's forgot.
378. oldal - On lighten'd minds, that bask in virtue's beams, Nothing hangs tedious, nothing old revolves In that for which they long, for which they live. Their glorious efforts, wing'd with...
