Strona 92 - How sleep the Brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung; By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there!
Strona 166 - Bequeath'd, a heritage of heart and hand, And proud distinction from each other land, Whose sons must bow them at a monarch's motion, As if his senseless sceptre were a wand Full of the magic of exploded science, — Still one great clime, in full and free defiance, Yet rears her crest, unconquer'd and sublime, Above the far Atlantic...

Strona 231 - Oh for a tongue to curse the slave, Whose treason, like a deadly blight, Comes o'er the councils of the brave, And blasts them in their hour of might...
Strona xi - Sic volvenda aetas commutat tempora rerum. Quod fuit in pretio, fit nullo denique honore; Porro aliud succedit et e contemptibus exit Inque dies magis adpetitur floretque repertum Laudibus et miro est mortales inter honore.
Strona xi - ... rusticus expectat, dum defluat amnis: at ille labitur et labetur in omne volubilis aevum.
Strona 239 - Republic the seeds of the conspiracy were planted, and in 1820, and then again in 1830, it showed itself— while nearly thirty years ago Jackson denounced it, and one of its leading spirits has recently boasted that it has been gathering, head for this full time, thus — not only in its distant embryo, but in its well-attested development — antedating those Abolitionists whose prophetic patriotism is now made the apology for the crime.
