Halaman 108 - Does not the river from the mountain flow, And bring down riches to the vale below? See how the torrent rolls the golden sand From the high ridges to the flatter land. The lofty lines abound with endless store Of mineral treasure, and metallic ore; With precious veins of silver, copper, tin, Without how barren, yet how rich within!

Halaman 170 - Nature's power. Hence metals, plants, and minerals arise, The clouds and all the meteors of the skies ! Hence all the clans that haunt the hill or wood, That beat the air, or cut the limpid flood! Even man, their lord, hence into being came, Breath'd the pure air, and felt the vital flame!
Halaman 178 - From animated rock and flint began. Now to the learned schools of (Greece repair, Who chance the author of the world declare : Then judge if wise philosophers excel Those idle tales, which wanton poets tell.
Halaman 97 - The' alternate sovereigns of the night and day; View the wide earth adorn'd with hills and woods, Rich in her herds, and fertile by her floods ; Walk through the deep apartments of the main, Ascend the air to visit clouds and rain ; And, while we...
