Popularne fragmenty
Strona 466 - Could all our care elude the gloomy grave, Which claims no less the fearful than the brave, For lust of fame I should not vainly dare In fighting fields, nor urge thy soul to war. But since, alas ! ignoble age must come, Disease, and death's inexorable doom, The life, which others pay, let us bestow, And give to fame what we to nature owe ; Brave though we fall, and honour'd if we live, Or let us glory gain, or glory give...

Strona 433 - The dullest genius cannot fail To find the moral of my tale : That the distinguish'd part of men, With compass, pencil, sword, or pen, Should in life's visit leave their name, In characters, which may proclaim, That they with ardour strove to raise At once their arts, and country's praise; And in their working took great care, That all was full, and round, and fair.
Strona 30 - ... in these cases alone, the commander of the said ship of war may detain them, and having detained them, he is to bring them, as soon as possible, for judgment before that of the two mixed Commissions appointed by the...
Strona 64 - Burgos on the one hand, and from Madrid on the other, the Officers lost all command over their men. Irregularities and outrages of all descriptions were committed with impunity ; and losses have been sustained which ought never to have occurred. Yet the necessity for retreat existing, none was ever made...
