Side 113 - But if I have taken like a king, I have given like a king. If I have subverted empires, I have founded greater.
Side 64 - I can show you enough to convince you that it is an affair that requires much knowledge and early study. In former times, when a vessel left the sight of land, it was steered by observation of the sun by day, and the moon and stars by night. The sun, you know, rises in the east, and sets in the west ; and at noon, in these parts of the world, it is exactly south of us. These points, therefore, may be found out when the sun shines. The moon and stars vary : however, their place in the sky may be known...
Side 52 - midst the desert fruitful fields arise, That crown'd with tufted trees and springing corn, Like verdant isles the sable waste adorn. Let India boast her plants, nor envy we The weeping amber or the balmy tree, While by our oaks the precious loads are born, And realms commanded which those trees adorn. Not proud Olympus yields a nobler sight, Tho...
Side 65 - The Pleiads, Hyads, with the northern team; And great Orion's more refulgent beam; To which, around the axle of the sky, The Bear, revolving, points his golden eye, Still shines exalted on th' ethereal plain, Nor bathes his blazing forehead in the main.
Side 131 - The other female then advanced. She was clothed in a close habit of brown stuff, simply relieved with white. She wore her smooth hair under a plain cap. Her whole person was perfectly neat and clean. Her look was serious, but satisfied ; and her air was staid and composed. She held in one hand a distaff; on the opposite arm hung a work-basket ; and the girdle round her waist was garnished with scissors, knitting-needles, reels, and other implements of female labour.
Side 112 - Alexander, I am your captive. I must hear what you please to say, and endure what you please to inflict. But my soul is unconquered ; and if I reply at all to your reproaches, I will reply like a free man. Alexander. Speak freely. Far be it from me to take the advantage of my power to silence those with whom I deign to converse.
Side 147 - They used their victory with considerable rigour ; and in particular, having imprisoned Uberto, proceeded against him as a traitor, and thought they displayed sufficient lenity in passing a sentence upon him of perpetual banishment, and the confiscation of all his property.
Side 134 - F. And yet those operations are done for the benefit of the sufferers, and by their own desire. But in a battle, the probability is that none of those engaged on either side have any interest at all in the cause they are fighting for, and most of them enter into the scene of blood because they cannot help it.
Side 45 - They feed on flies, gnats, and other insects ; and always build in towns and villages about the houses. People do not molest them, for they do good rather than harm ; and it is very amusing to view their manners and actions. See how swiftly they skim through the air in pursuit of their prey ! In the morning they are up by daybreak, and twitter about your window while you are asleep in bed ; and all day long they are upon the wing, getting food for themselves and their young. As soon as they have...
Side 133 - Melissa heard her with more attention than delight ; and though overawed by her manner, she could not help turning again to take another look at the first speaker. She beheld her still offering her presents with so bewitching an air, that she felt it scarcely possible to resist ; when, by a lucky accident, the mask with which Dissipation's face was so artfully covered, fell off. As soon as Melissa beheld, instead of the smiling features of youth and cheerfulness, a countenance wan and ghastly with...
