Seite 119 - Can his dear image from my soul depart, Long as the vital spirit moves my heart? If in the melancholy shades below, The flames of friends and lovers cease to glow, Yet mine shall sacred last; mine, undecay'd, Burn on through death, and animate my shade.

Seite 34 - The patriarch Brahmin (soft and slow he rose), Advancing now, to lordly GAMA bows, And leads him to the throne ; in silent state The monarch's nod assigns the captain's seat ; The Lusian train in humbler distance stand : Silent, the monarch eyes the foreign band With awful mien ; when valiant GAMA broke The solemn pause, and thus majestic...

Another swims along with graceful pride, Her silver arms the glistening waves divide, Her shining sides the fondling waters lave, Her glowing cheeks are brighten'd by the wave, Her hair, of mildest yellow, flows from side To side, as o'er it plays the wanton tide; And careless as she turns, her thighs of snow Their tapering rounds in deeper lustre shew.

Seite 9 - And now their ensigns blazing o'er the tide On India's shore the Lusian heroes ride. High to the fleecy clouds resplendent far Appear the regal towers of Malabar, Imperial Calicut, the lordly seat Of the first monarch of the Indian state.
