עמוד 14 - So shall the fairest face appear When youth and years are flown; Such is the robe that kings must wear When death has reft their crown. Her bloom was like the springing flower, That sips the silver dew; The rose was budded in her cheek, Just opening to the view.
עמוד 41 - I'll never love thee more. As Alexander I will reign, And I will reign alone : My thoughts did evermore disdain A rival on my throne. He either fears his fate too much...
עמוד 45 - Wi mony a loud huzza, man, But ere next morn proclaim-d the cock, We heard anither craw, man. " The brave Lochiel, as I heard tell, Led Camerons on in clouds, man ; The morning fair, and clear the air, They loos'd with devilish thuds, man. Down guns they threw, and swords they drew, And soon did...
עמוד 50 - Delight in archery. See, fee yon bow extended ! 'Tis Jove himfelf that bends it, Tis Jove himfelf that bends it, O'er clouds on high it glows. All nations, Turks and Parthians, The Tartars and the Scythians, The Arabs, Moors, and Indians...
