Σελίδα ii - District Clerk's Office. BE IT REMEMBERED, That on the seventh day of May, AD 1828, in the fifty-second year of the Independence of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SG Goodrich, of the said District, has deposited in this office the title of a book, the right whereof he claims as proprietor, in the words following, to wit...
Σελίδα 14 - I must satisfy myself, therefore, with observing in general, that, in all the fine arts, that composition is most excellent, in which the different parts most fully unite in the production of one unmingled emotion, and that taste the most perfect, where the perception of this relation of objects, in point of expression, is most delicate and precise.
Σελίδα 46 - Woe waits the insect and the maid, A life of pain, the loss of peace, From infant's play and man's caprice : The lovely toy so fiercely sought Has lost its charm by being caught.
Σελίδα 84 - That must, from year to year, attend Life's course, till life itself shall end.] That heart, so pure, so soft, so good, That scarce has yet a pang withstood, Was, surely, never meant to bear Grief, sorrow, woe, deceit, despair, And all the mental ills, that rend The human heart, till life shall end. Some happy island, far remOved, Whose groves of bliss an angel loved, Where winter's gloom was never known, Nor fell disease's hollow groan ; Where grief, deceit, despair and woe Dare not their forms...
Σελίδα 33 - O then, upon those future years, Bestow not agony and tears ! Though all thy sins shall be forgiven, And blotted from the book of heaven ; Their shades shall flit around, and fling Dark horror from their raven wing ; And bitter be each future year, Unless the spring of life is clear. * » * * * In early life when trusting youth Thinks all is goodness, worth, and truth; A holy inmate charms man's breast, And lulls its many woes to rest. It watches o'er his...
Σελίδα 81 - To him, who was firm to his country's love ? To him, whom no might, from stern Virtue could move? Be his requiem, the sigh of the wretched bereft; Be his pageants, the tears of the friends he has left; Such tears, as were late, with...
Σελίδα 37 - That all its minutes, all its hours Shall breathe of pleasure's sweetest flowers. But false the augury of that star— The Lord of passion drives his car, Swift up the middle line of heaven, And blasts each flower that hope had given. And care and woe, and pain and strife, All mingle in the noon of life. Its gentle beams, on man's last days, The Hesperus of life displays: When all of passion's mid-day heat Within the breast forgets to beat; When calm and smooth our minutes glide, Along life's tranquillizing...
Σελίδα 75 - And livelier the tones of the heart-gender'd praise, That should wake from the harp at his name ; But holier the dirge that the minstrel should pour O'er the fallen hero's grave, Whose arm wields the sword for his country no more, Who has died the death of the brave. There lives in the bosom a feeling sublime ; Of all, 'tis the strongest tie ; Unvarying through every change of time, And only with life does it die. 'Tis the love that is borne for that lovely land, That smiled on the hour of our birth...
Σελίδα 76 - That throbb'd in the final throb of his breast, And heaved in his bosom's last swell : When a thousand swords in a thousand hands, To the sunbeams of heaven shone bright ; When the willing hearts of Columbia's bands Were firm for Columbia's right — When the blood of the west in the battle was pour'd, In defence of the rights of the west. When the blood of the east stain'd the point of the sword, At the eastern king's behest : Till the angel form of returning peace O'er the...
Σελίδα 77 - ... woes Ceased to stream from the nation's eyes; She smiled— and a fabric of wisdom arose, And exalted its fame to the skies. Then firm be its base, as the giant rock 'Midst the ocean waves alone, That the beating rain and the tempest shock, For numberless years has borne. And blasted the parricide arm, that shall plan That glorious structure's fall ; But still may it sanction the rights of man, And liberty guardian to all. Then sweet be the song that the minstrel should raise, To the patriot...
