Σελίδα 61 - Full little knowest thou, that hast not tried, What hell it is in suing long to bide: To lose good days, that might be better spent; To waste long nights in pensive discontent; To speed to-day, to be put back to-morrow; To feed on hope, to pine with fear and sorrow; To have thy prince's grace, yet want her peers...
Σελίδα 168 - What call unknown, what charms presume To break the quiet of the tomb ? Who thus afflicts my troubled sprite, And drags me from the realms of night ? Long on these mouldering bones have beat The winter's snow, the summer's heat, The drenching dews, and driving rain ! Let me, let me sleep again.
Σελίδα 266 - Stand, never overlooked, our favourite elms, That screen the herdsman's solitary hut; While far beyond, and overthwart the stream, That, as with molten glass, inlays the vale, The sloping land recedes into the clouds; Displaying on its varied side the grace Of hedge-row beauties numberless, square...
Σελίδα 266 - Stand, never overlook'd, our favourite elms, That screen the herdsman's solitary hut ; While far beyond, and overthwart the stream That, as with molten glass, inlays the vale, The sloping land recedes into the clouds ; Displaying on its varied side the grace Of hedge-row beauties numberless, square tow'r, Tall spire, from which the sound of cheerful bells Just undulates upon the list'ning ear, Groves, heaths, and smoking villages, remote.
Σελίδα 122 - ... gentlemanly and honourable feeling. . " It is said that lawyers make bad speakers in Parliament ; yet it must be observed, that most of the persons here named were brought up to the bar, " While I sat in this House, I made great efforts to amend the Poor Laws ; nor did I take less pains to get the cruel and unjust provisions of the Copy-right Act altered. I was not successful ; but in both cases I had powerful and overwhelming parties to contend with. In the first, all the manufacturing towns,...
Σελίδα 121 - ... pulpit His voice was weak and shrill ; and his person extremely unfavourable. But he had the prudence to speak seldom except on great topics, on which his opinions and arguments were, from the habits of his life, extremely desirable to be known by the public. " Old George Rose spoke in a gossiping, garrulous manner, and never had the good luck to carry much weight with him ; while his knowledge of details was always suspected of some party purpose. " Tierney made his way by a fund of subtle humour...
Σελίδα 116 - I ation for his character, the admiration of him as a profound lawyer, the confidence in the integrity of his principles, and his enlightened, as well as conscientious study of the principles of the constitution of his country, procured for all he said the most submissive attention ; and they who thought him in politics a stern and bigotted republican, whose opinions were uncongenial to the mixed government of Great Britain, and therefore dissented...
Σελίδα 256 - In reality, poetry and rhetoric do not succeed in exact description so well as painting does; their business is, to affect rather by sympathy than imitation ; to display rather the effect of things on the mind of the speaker, or of others, than to present a clear idea of the things themselves.
Σελίδα 150 - ... break it, compete with it, or diminish its value. His thoughts are all his own: everything has passed through the sieve of his own mind. Nothing in all the criticism of the world was ever written more profound, more just, more vigorous, or more eloquent, than that which he has given on " Paradise Lost." Isothing so new, so acute, so exquisitely happy, as that on metaphysical poetry.
Σελίδα 168 - Long on these mould'ring bones have beat The winter's snow, the summer's heat, The drenching dews and driving rain ! Let me, let me sleep again. Who is he, with voice unblest, That calls me from the bed of rest ? Odin.
