Seite 84 - Straight mine eye hath caught new pleasures Whilst the landscape round it measures ; Russet lawns, and fallows gray, Where the nibbling flocks do stray, Mountains on whose barren breast, The labouring clouds do often rest ; Meadows trim with daisies pied, Shallow brooks and rivers wide.
Seite 215 - A NEW LITERAL TRANSLATION From the Original Greek, OF ALL THE APOSTOLICAL EPISTLES. WITH A COMMENTARY AND NOTES, Philological, Critical, Explanatory, and Practical.
