Stran 338 - In happy climes, the seat of innocence, Where nature guides and virtue rules, Where men shall not impose for truth and sense The pedantry of courts and schools : There shall be sung another golden age, The rise of empire and of arts, The good and great inspiring epic rage, The wisest heads and noblest hearts.

Stran 95 - These are the feathers of the eagle which is the swiftest of birds, and. who flieth all around our nations. These feathers are a sign of peace In our land, and have been carried from town to town there ; and we have brought them over to leave with you, O great king! as a sign of everlasting peace. O great king! whatsoever words you shall say to me, I will tell them: faithfully to all the kings of the Creek nations.
Stran 124 - Grimaldi" (his foreign servant, who was present, and almost dead with fear) "has drunk up the whole of it; but I will be revenged on him. I have ordered him to be tied hand and foot, and be carried to the manof-war which sails with us. The rascal should have taken care how he used me so, for I never forgive.
Stran 365 - Lo swarming southward on rejoicing suns Gay colonies extend ; the calm retreat Of undeserved distress, the better home Of those whom bigots chase from foreign lands. Not built on Rapine, Servitude, and Wo, And in their turn some petty tyrant's prey ; But bound by social freedom, firm they rise...
Stran 43 - Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves.
