Pagina 32 - Thy spirit, Independence ! let me share, Lord of the lion heart and eagle eye ! Thy steps I follow 'with my bosom bare, Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky.
Pagina 23 - What foreign arms could never quell, By civil rage and rancour fell The rural pipe and merry lay No more shall cheer the happy day ; No social scenes of gay delight Beguile the dreary winter night : No strains but those of sorrow, flow, And nought is heard but sounds of woe, While the pale phantoms of the slain Glide nightly o'er the silent plain. Oh, baneful cause ! oh, fatal mom, Accurs'd to ages yet unborn ! The sons against their fathers stood, The parent shed his children's blood...
Pagina 9 - Eternal infamy the wretch confound Who planted first that vice on British ground ! A vice ! that, 'spite of sense and nature, reigns And poisons genial love, and manhood stains.

Pagina 6 - POET. Th' advice is good ; the question only, whether These names and virtues ever dwelt together ? But what of that? the more the bard shall claim, Who can create as well as cherish fame. But one thing more...
Pagina 191 - As for the sick and wounded, they were next day sent on board of the transports and vessels called hospitalships, where they languished in want of every necessary comfort and accommodation. They were destitute of surgeons, nurses, cooks, and proper provision ; they were pent up between decks in small vessels, where they had not room to sit upright ; they wallowed in filth ; myriads of maggots were...
Pagina 36 - I'll court in her sequester'd haunts, By mountain, meadow, streamlet, grove, or cell, Where the pois'd lark his evening ditty chaunts. And Health, and Peace, and Contemplation dwell.
Pagina 17 - Aonian grove with rapture would I tread, To crop unfading wreaths for William's head; •.' . But that my strain, unheard amidst the throng, Must yield to Lockman's ode, and Hanbury's song. Nor would th...
