Strona 537 - Come on, sir; here's the place: — stand still. — How fearful And dizzy 'tis, to cast one's eyes so low! The crows, and choughs, that wing the midway air, Show scarce so gross as beetles : Half way down Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade! Methinks, he seems no bigger than his head: The fishermen, that walk upon the beach, Appear like mice; and yon' tall anchoring bark, Diminish'd to her cock; her cock, a buoy Almost too small for sight: The murmuring surge.
Strona 377 - AMBROSE. 393 is greatly injured by time and violence, it retains enough of its original sublimity and beauty to charm and chain the spectator. It was with difficulty I could leave it.

Strona 364 - The discovery of a passage to the East Indies by the Cape of Good Hope, the powerful league of Cambray, and other circumstances, weakened and gradually destroyed their commerce and power.
Strona 537 - Show scarce so gross as beetles : half way down Hangs one that gathers samphire, dreadful trade ! Methinks he seems no bigger than his head : The fishermen that walk upon the beach Appear like mice ; and yond tall anchoring bark Diminish'd to her cock ; her cock, a buoy Almost too small for sight : the murmuring surge 20 That on the unnumber'd idle pebbles chafes Cannot be heard so high.

Strona 631 - And mountains, that like giants stand, To sentinel enchanted land. High on the south, huge Ben venue Down on the lake in masses threw Crags, knolls and mounds, confusedly...
