Seite 232 - Righi, a distance of four or five miles. Its greatest breadth may be three miles, and the triangular area of ruins is fully equal to that of Paris, taken at the external boulevards, or about double the real extent of the inhabited city.

Seite 74 - TREE. O'ER the New Forest's heath-hills bare, Down steep ravine, by shaggy wood, A pilgrim wandered; questing where The relic-tree of Rufus stood. Whence in our England's day of old, Rushing on retribution's wing, The arrow — so tradition told — Glanced to the heart of tyrant-king. Some monument he found, which spoke What erst had happened on the spot; But for that old avenging oak, Decayed long since, he found it not. Yet aye, where tyrants grind a land, Let trees like this be found to grow;...
