עמוד 190 - Nor dim nor red, like God's own head, The glorious Sun uprist: Then all averred I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist.
עמוד 117 - The newspapers ! Sir, they are the most villainous — licentious— abominable — infernal — Not that I ever read them — no — I make it a rule never to look into a newspaper.
עמוד 107 - Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage; Minds innocent and quiet take That for an hermitage; If I have freedom in my love And in my soul am free, Angels alone, that soar above, Enjoy such liberty.
עמוד 235 - But he never would believe that Providence had sent a few men into the world ready booted and spurred to ride, and millions ready saddled and bridled to be ridden.
עמוד 63 - Ha, you gods! why this? what this, you gods? Why, this Will lug your priests and servants from your sides, Pluck stout men's pillows from below their heads: This yellow slave Will knit and break religions; bless the accurs'd; Make the hoar leprosy ador'd; place thieves, And give them title, knee, and approbation, With senators on the bench...

עמוד 295 - It is by bribing, not so often by being bribed, that wicked politicians bring ruin on mankind. Avarice is a rival to the pursuits of many. It finds a multitude of checks, and many opposers, in every walk of life. But the objects of ambition are for the few ; and every person who aims at indirect profit, and therefore wants other protection than innocence and law, instead of its rival becomes...
עמוד 107 - And when thy sons to fetters are consigned — To fetters, and the damp vault's dayless gloom— Their country conquers with their martyrdom, And Freedom's fame finds wings on every wind.
עמוד 237 - The people is a beast of muddy brain That knows not its own strength, and therefore stands Loaded with wood and stone ; the powerless hands Of a mere child guide it with bit and rein : One kick would be enough to break the chain ; But the beast fears, and what the child demands It does ; nor its own terror understands, Confused and stupefied by bugbears vain. Most wonderful ! with its own hand it ties And gags itself — gives itself death and war For pence doled out by kings from its own store.
