Seite 402 - Years have roll'd on, Loch na Garr, since I left you, Years must elapse ere I tread you again ; Nature of verdure and flowers has bereft you, Yet still are you dearer than Albion's plain. England ! thy beauties are tame and domestic To one who has roved o'er the mountains afar : Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic, The steep frowning glories of dark Loch na Garr!
Seite 22 - Of all species of rhetoric, of every kind of eloquence, that has been witnessed, or recorded, either in ancient, or modern times ; whatever the acuteness of the bar, the dignity of the senate, the solidity of the judgment seat, and the sacred morality of the pulpit have hitherto furnished ; nothing has surpassed, nothing has equalled what we have this day heard in Westminster Hall.
Seite 460 - Of human sacrifice, and parents' tears ; Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud, Their children's cries unheard that passed through fire To his grim idol.
Seite 401 - I strode through the pine-cover'd glade : I sought not my home till the day's dying glory Gave place to the rays of the bright polar star ; For fancy was cheer'd by traditional story, Disclosed by the natives of dark Loch na Garr.

Seite 400 - Away, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens of roses ! In you let the minions of luxury rove ; Restore me the rocks where the snow-flake reposes, Though still they are sacred to freedom and love. Yet, Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains, Round their white summits though elements war ; Though cataracts foam, 'stead of smooth flowing fountains, I sigh for the valley of dark Loch na Garr.
Seite 21 - I will say more — flattered and encouraged by the right honourable gentleman's panegyric on my talents, if ever I again engage in the composition he alludes to, I may be tempted to an act of presumption — to attempt an improvement on one of Ben Jonson's best characters, — the character of the angry boy in the Alchymist.
Seite 251 - If music be the food of love, play on ; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again ! it had a dying fall : O ! it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour.
Seite 222 - Now to the elements Resolved, their uses done. Not to the grave, not to the grave, my Soul, Follow thy friend beloved, The spirit is not there...
Seite 171 - Eschylus a decent vizard used, Built a low stage, the flowing robe diffused, In language more sublime his actors rage, And in the graceful buskin tread the stage.
Seite 324 - The first and second years. so unacquainted were these poor brutes with the use of this man's house or with his nature, that in a few hours they rubbed the house completely down ; taking delight in turning the logs off with their horns...
