Side 852 - SWEET AUBURN! loveliest village of the plain; Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain, Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid, And parting summer's lingering blooms delayed : Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease, Seats of my youth, when every sport could please, How often have I loitered o'er thy green, Where humble happiness endeared each scene...
Side 582 - His guide to happiness on high. And see! Tis come, the glorious morn! the second birth Of heaven and earth! Awakening Nature hears The new-creating word, and starts to life, In every heightened form, from pain and death For ever free.
Side 549 - Hampden, that he had a head to contrive, a tongue to persuade, and a hand to execute, any mischief.

Our old miners are no more concerned at hearing them blasting, boring holes, landing leads, etc.
Side 889 - I held a tower in France, till all the old women in Wales heard of it; and now the old women of France shall hear how I defended the Welsh castle.
Side 190 - Where his glowing eye-balls turn, Thousand banners round him burn : Where he points his purple spear, Hasty, hasty Rout is there, Marking with indignant eye Fear to stop, and Shame to fly. There Confusion, Terror's child, Conflict fierce, and Ruin wild, Agony, that pants for breath, Despair and honourable Death.
Side 190 - Gwyneth's shield, and Britain's gem. He nor heaps his brooded stores, Nor on all profusely pours; Lord of every regal art, Liberal hand, and open heart. Big with hosts of mighty name, Squadrons three against him came; This the force of Eirin hiding, Side by side as proudly riding, On her shadow long and gay Lochlin...
