Popularne fragmenty
Strona 119 - Where the great Sun begins his state Robed in flames and amber light, The clouds in thousand liveries dight; While the ploughman, near at hand, Whistles o'er the furrow'd land, And the milkmaid singeth blithe, And the mower whets his scythe, And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the dale.

Strona 54 - To reign in the air from earth to highest sky, To feed on flowers and weeds of glorious feature, To take whatever thing doth please the eye ? Who rests not pleased with such happiness, Well worthy he to taste of wretchedness.
Strona 114 - Confess ye now how frivolous and vain is the might of an earthly king compared to that great power who rules the elements, and can say unto the ocean, ' Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther.
Strona 1 - When daisies pied, and violets blue, And lady-smocks all silver white, And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue, Do paint the meadows with delight...
Strona 69 - Come let us try our speed;" Away they scour, impetuous, ardent, strong, The green turf trembling as they bound along...
