495. oldal - Twas thine own genius gave the final blow, And helped to plant the wound that laid thee low : So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain, No more through rolling clouds to soar again, Viewed his own feather on the fatal dart, And winged the shaft that quivered in his heart ; Keen were his pangs, but keener far to feel He nursed the pinion which impelled the steel ; While the same plumage that had warmed his nest Drank the last life-drop of his bleeding breast.

275. oldal - Description of the Greek Marbles brought from the shores of the Euxine, Archipelago, and Mediterranean, and deposited in the vestibule of the University Library, Cambridge,
357. oldal - Is there a son of generous England here Or fervid Erin ? — he with us shall join, To pray that in eternal union dear, The rose, the shamrock, and the thistle twine ! Types of a race who shall th...
443. oldal - We, however, have frequently heard of exhibitions of ' learned pigs;' and we know that Toomer, formerly the game-keeper of sir II. P. St. John Mildmay, actually broke in a black sow to find game, back, and stand, nearly as well as a pointer. " This sow, which was a thin, long-legged animal (one of the ugliest of the New Forest breed) when very young, took a great partiality to some pointer puppies, that Toomer, then under keeper of Broomy Lodge, in the New Forest, was breaking1.
129. oldal - Saragossa have frequently seen this young, delicate, and beautiful, woman coolly attending to the duties she had prescribed to herself in the midst of the most tremendous fire of shot and shells ; nor were they...
