And even the lowly valleys joy to glitter in their sight, When the unmeasured firmament bursts to disclose her light, And all the signs in heaven are seen, that glad the shepherd's heart...
الصفحة 140 - The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils ; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.
الصفحة 103 - Still stands the forest primeval ; but far away from its shadow, Side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.

الصفحة 196 - Westward, much nearer by south-west, behold; Where on the JEgean shore a city stands, Built nobly; pure the air, and light the soil; Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts And eloquence, native to famous wits Or hospitable, in her sweet recess, City or suburban, studious walks and shades.

الصفحة 408 - ... planting of the seed in the ground at the proper season; the place where the instruction is communicated is like the food imparted to vegetables by the atmosphere; diligent study is like the cultivation of the fields; and it is time which imparts strength to all things and brings them to maturity.
الصفحة 66 - And all the host of heaven came down, sprites and genii in amaze, And each forsook his heavenly throne, upon that glorious scene to gaze. On cars, like high-towered cities, seen, with elephants and coursers rode, Or on soft-swinging palanquin lay wondering, each observant god. As met in bright divan each god, and flashed their jewelled vestures...
الصفحة 170 - From floor to roof the spacious palace halls Glitter with war's array ; With burnished metal clad, the lofty walls Beam like the bright noonday. There white-plumed helmets hang from many a nail, Above in threatening row ; Steel-garnished tunics, and broad coats of mail, Spread o'er the space below. Chalcidian blades enow, and belts, are here, Greaves and emblazoned shields ; Well-tried protectors from the hostile spear On other battle-fields. With these good helps our work of war 's begun; With these...
الصفحة 408 - ... in travelling through the cities, be esteemed physicians, not only in name, but in reality. But inexperience is a bad treasure and a bad fund to those who possess it, whether in opinion or reality, being devoid of contentedness, and the nurse both of timidity and audacity.
