Stran 19 - Though a mere private Briton, I triumphed here, in my own mind, over kings and their armies ! and every comparison was leading nearer and nearer to presumption, when the place itself where I stood, the object of my vainglory, suggested what depressed my short-lived triumph.
Stran 39 - Against revolted multitudes the cause Of truth, in word mightier than they in arms ; And for the testimony of truth hast borne Universal reproach, far worse to bear Than violence ; for this was all thy care To stand approv'd in sight of God, though worlds Judg'd thee perverse...
Stran 19 - I went to the door of my tent ; everything was still ; the Nile, at whose head I stood, was not capable either to promote or to interrupt my slumbers, but the coolness and serenity of the night braced my nerves, and chased away those phantoms that, while in bed, had oppressed and tormented me.

Stran 31 - Who, forced unhallow'd arms to bear, Mutter to the moaning air, Whose curses on the welkin cast Edge the keen and icy blast ! Iberia, sorrow bade thee nurse Those who now the tyrant curse, Whose wrongs for vengeance cry aloud ! Lo, the coming of a cloud ! To burst in wrath, and sweep away Light as chaff the firm array ! To rack with pain, or lull to rest Both oppressor and oppress'd.
Stran 20 - both with this turn Woldo gave the action, and the remedy we stumbled upon by mere accident, which discovered a connexion, believed to subsist at this day, between this river and its ancient governor, the dog-star.
Stran 11 - ... xiii. 23.) These and hundreds of other specimens I bore to my friends. Each of the olive leaves sent from Beyrout was accompanied by a copy of the following lines : THE OLIVE-LEAF. Lines composed to accompany olive-leaves plucked from the...
Stran 28 - ... made, like the former, of firm, sod, but neither of them above three feet diameter, and having a foot of less elevation than the first. The altar in this third source seemed almost dissolved by the water, which in both stood nearly up to the brim ; at the foot of each appeared a clear and brisk running rill ; these uniting, joined the water in the trench of the first altar, and then proceeded directly out, pointing eastward, in a quantity that would have filled a pipe, of about two inches diameter....
