Halaman 43 - Olympian games or Pythian fields ; 530 Part curb their fiery steeds, or shun the goal With rapid wheels, or fronted brigades form. As when to warn proud cities, war appears Waged in the troubled sky, and armies rush To battle in the clouds, before each van Prick forth the airy knights, and couch their spears Till thickest legions close ; with feats of arms From either end of Heaven the welkin burns.

As on our olive-crowned hill we stand, Where Kedron at our feet its scanty waters Distils from stone to stone with gentle motion, As through a valley sacred to sweet peace, How boldly doth it front us ! how majestically ! Like a luxurious vineyard, the hill-side Is hung with marble fabrics, line o'er line, Terrace o'er terrace, nearer still and nearer To the blue heavens.
Halaman 143 - And marriage feasts begin their jocund strain : Still to the pouring out the cup of woe ; Till earth, a drunkard, reeling to and fro, And mountains molten by his burning feet, And heaven, his presence own, all red with furnace heat.
Halaman 133 - Nor stoop'd their lamps th' enthroned fires on high ; A single silent star Came wandering from afar, Gliding unchecked and calm along the liquid sky ; The Eastern sages leading on As at a kingly throne, To lay their gold and odours sweet Before Thy infant feet. The Earth and Ocean were not hush'd to hear Bright harmony from every starry sphere ; Nor at Thy presence brake the voice of song From all the cherub choirs And seraphs...
Halaman 41 - And he answered with a loud voice, ' Why ask ye me about Jesus the Son of Man ? He sits in heaven on the right hand of great power, and will come on the clouds of heaven.
Halaman 74 - ... wheresoever their misery seized them. As for burying them, those that were sick themselves were not able to do it ; and those that were hearty and well were deterred from doing it by the great multitude of those dead bodies, and by the uncertainty there was how soon they should die themselves ; for many died as they were burying others, and many went to their coffins before that fatal hour was come!
Halaman 130 - Are melted into air, behold the temple In undisturbed and lone serenity, Finding itself a solemn sanctuary In the profound of heaven ! It stands before us A mount of snow, fretted with golden pinnacles ! The very sun, as though he worshipped there, Lingers upon the gilded cedar roofs, And down the long and branching porticoes, On every flowery-sculptured capital, Glitters the homage of his parting beams. By Hercules ! the sight might almost win The offended majesty of Rome to mercy.
