Seite 52 - And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark : and there he died before God.
Seite xii - To see this fleet upon the ocean move, Angels drew wide the curtains of the skies; And heaven, as if there wanted lights above, For tapers made two glaring comets rise.
Seite xiv - English fleet each ship resounds with joy, And loud applause of their great leader's fame : In fiery dreams the Dutch they still destroy, And, slumbering smile at the imagin'd flame.
Seite 57 - Even such a man, so faint, so spiritless, So dull, so dead in look, so woe-begone, Drew Priam's curtain in the dead of night...

Seite 23 - Some drive old oakum through each seam and rift: Their left-hand does the calking-iron guide, The rattling mallet with the right they lift. With boiling pitch another near at hand (From friendly Sweden brought) the seams instops; Which, well paid o'er, the salt-sea waves withstand, And shake them from the rising beak in drops.
Seite 33 - The diligence of trades and noiseful gain, And luxury more late, asleep were laid : All was the Night's ; and in her silent reign No sound the rest of Nature did invade.
Seite 26 - I foretel, from your auspicious care, Who great in search of God and Nature grow ; Who best your wise Creator's praise declare, Since best to praise his works is best to know.
