Halaman 33 - It was not mirth, for mirth she was too still, It was not wit, wit leaves the heart more chill ; But that continuous sweetness, which with ease Pleases all round it, from the wish to please...
Halaman 40 - One after one the lords of time advance, — Here Stanley meets, — how Stanley scorns, the glance ! The brilliant chief, irregularly great, Frank, haughty, rash, — the Rupert of Debate ! Nor gout, nor toil, his freshness can destroy, And Time still leaves all Eton in the boy ; — First in the class, and keenest in the ring, He saps like Gladstone, and he fights like Spring ! Ev'n at the feast, his pluck pervades the board, And dauntless game-cocks symbolize their lord.
Halaman 42 - How formed to lead, if not too proud to please, — His fame would fire you, but his manners freeze. Like or dislike, he does not care a jot ; He wants your vote, but your affection not ; Yet human hearts need sun, as well as oats, — So cold a climate plays the deuce with votes.
Halaman 181 - Thou ask'st why Christ, so lenient to the deed, So sternly claims the faith which founds the creed ; Because, reposed in faith the soul has calm ; The hope a haven and the wound a balm ; Because the light, dim seen in Reason's dream, On all alike, through faith alone, could stream. God will'd support to Weakness, joy to Grief, And so descended from his throne — BELIEF...
Halaman 43 - From the full galaxy we turn to one, Dim to all else, but to ourselves the sun ; And still, to each, some poor, obscurest life, Breathes all the bliss, or kindles all the strife. Wake up the countless dead! — ask every ghost Whose influence tortured or consoled the most : How each pale spectre of the host would turn From the fresh laurel and the glorious urn, To point, where rots beneath a nameless stone, Some heart in which had ebb'd and flowed its own...
Halaman 38 - Next, with loose rein and careless canter view Our man of men, the Prince of Waterloo; O'er the firm brow the hat as firmly prest, The firm shape' rigid in the button'd vest; Within — the iron which the fire has proved, And the close Sparta of a mind unmoved! Not his the wealth to some large natures lent, Divinely lavish, even where misspent, That liberal sunshine of exuberant soul, Thought, sense, affection, warming up the whole...
Halaman 175 - What can we more ?" One hour of time were worth a load of ore ! Give to the ignorant our own wisdom !— give Sorrow our comfort ! — lend to those who live In crime, the counsels of our virtue! — share With souls our souls, and Satan shall despair...
Halaman 9 - James's palace, where she meant to tarry till her coronation, which circumstance a brilliant contemporary has thus illustrated in his description of that palace : — " There through the dusk-red towers — amidst his ring, Of Vans and Mynheers rode the Dutchman king; And there did England's Goneril thrill to hear, The shouts that triumphed o'er her crownless Lear.
Halaman 41 - Yet who not listens with delighted smile To the pure Saxon of that silver style In the clear style a heart as clear is seen, Prompt to the rash — revolting from the mean.
Halaman 71 - The meaner tribe the coming storm foresees — In the still calm the bird divines the breeze — The ox that grazes shuns the poison-weed — The unseen tiger frights afar the steed — To man alone no kind foreboding shows ^ The latent horror or the ambush'd foes ; ( O'er each blind moment hangs the funeral pall, Heaven shines — earth smiles — and night descends on all.
