עמוד 288 - SONG. The gliding fish that takes his play In shady nook of streamlet cool, Thinks not how waters pass away, And summer dries the pool. The bird beneath his leafy dome, Who trills his carol, loud and clear, Thinks not how soon his verdant home The lightning's breath may sear. Shall I within my bridegroom's bower, With braids of budding roses...
עמוד 198 - Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.
עמוד 367 - It return again, and bring with thee The sacred Book which thou hast told me of? JUAN. I will return again and bring that book, If Heaven permit. But man's uncertain life Is like a rain-drop hanging on the bough, Amongst ten thousand of its sparkling kindred, The remnants of some passing thunder shower, Who have their moments, dropping one by one, And which shall soonest lose its per'lous hold We cannot guess.
עמוד 258 - ... intelligent counsel. After a deliberate and patient investigation of your several cases, by Petit Juries, they have been constrained and compelled by their consciences and their oaths, to pronounce each and all of you guilty of a most foul and aggravated murder. Have you, or either of you, anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be pronounced against you...
עמוד 286 - To scenes below, and watch and worship there. THE SKELETON HAND. BY WILLIAM L. STONE, ESQ. And he must have this creature of perfection! It shall not be, whatever else may be ! — As there is blood and manhood in this body. It shall not be. JOANNA BAILLIE. THE shadows of night had gathered over the village of Hazlewood — the wind howled along the mountains — and the snow, which had been some time falling, already covered the ground. The weather was cold and cheerless, and, the inhabitants keeping...
עמוד 288 - THE gliding fish that takes his play In shady nook of streamlet cool, Thinks not how waters pass away, And summer dries the pool. The bird beneath his leafy dome, Who trills his carol, loud and clear, Thinks not how soon his verdant home The lightning's breath may sear. Shall I, within my bridegroom's bower, With braids of budding roses twined, Look forward to a coming hour When he may prove unkind ? The bee reigns in his waxen cell, The chieftain in his stately hold, To-morrow's earthquake, —...
עמוד 164 - Forbear, Sheriff: the body of this unhappy lady is no subject for pageantry. She shall be interred with decent privacy ; and those who have felt the tyranny of uncontrolled passions will think, with conscious awe, of her end.
עמוד 363 - And he hath won for me 1 have no words Thai can express what he hath won for me. But thou art sad and silent ; how is this, With life, and such a son to make life sweet ? ARTINA. 1 have a son, but my brave father, soon, — Who died an honor'd death, and in his grave Lies like an honor'd chief, — will have no son, No male descendant, living on the earth, To keep his name and lineage from extinction.

עמוד 377 - ... in his way. (Aloud.) Poh ! it will all end, as it did before, in scruples, and fancies, and misapprehensions ! Don't you think it will ? BRIGHTLY. I hope not : what a match they would make if it could be effected ! THORNHILL. How ! Suspicion and indecision put together as yoke-fellows ! BRIGHTLY. Why not? If they are together, two people may lead an uneasy life, to be sure ; but it will, in all probability, save four from being in the like condition.
עמוד 158 - ... person or persons who shall offer injury to any one, as being guilty of the supposed crime of witchcraft, shall be punished for such aggression. God save the King ! " [A pause of dead silence, followed by low, then loud murmurs, and then voices call out in succession. ] VOICES. My certes ! the dee has been better represented in the house of Parliament than a' the braid shires in the kingdom.
