Seite 278 - By wintry famine rous'd, from all the tract Of horrid mountains which the shining Alps, And wavy Apennine, and Pyrenees, Branch out stupendous into distant lands; Cruel as death, and hungry as the grave; Burning for blood; bony, and gaunt, and grim.

Seite 295 - Where chernic nature myftic wealth diftills. " For thee my fylphs in diftant lands fhall trace, " Where, far diffufed, my vivifying powers *' Awake, ungrateful bard, in blufhing grace, ** To life and love, awake thy wedded flowers. ** F«r thee— but ah, my penfive form he fli«s. ** For nymphs of golden locks, and florid hue !

Seite 295 - Or flirouvl thee in unfathom'd folds of fnow ! " Come not in hoftile garb ! — with fofter art, " With dearer power, my yielding fpirit feize, " Wake thy rich lyre, and melt my gelid heart « With incenfe fweeter than the weftern breeze. " Thy mufe fliall mount my Lammer-Geyer's wing, «« Pafs o'er my untrod heights, with daring courfe, » While the cold genii of each new-born fpring " For thee unlock the river's viewlefs fource.
Seite 189 - ... the blessing most frequently and fully descends — God loveth the gates of Sion more than all the tabernacles of Jacob. But will hearing a discourse on fire warm a man ? on meat, feed him ? on medicine, cure him ? If not, no more will it save us to know all about the Saviour.
