Strana 61 - By the festal cities' blaze, Whilst the wine-cup shines in light; And yet amidst that joy and uproar Let us think of them that sleep, Full many a fathom deep, By thy wild and stormy steep, Elsinore.

'twill seem a lucky hit ; Shrink not from blasphemy, 'twill pass for wit ; Care not for feeling— pass your proper jest, And stand a critic, hated yet caress'd.
Strana 212 - Not a soul But felt a fever of the mad and played Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel, Then all afire with me. The King's son, Ferdinand, With hair up-staring — then like reeds, not hair — Was the first man that leaped; cried, "Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.
Strana 9 - Him then let us trust, where our only security can be found. I find there are many good men among us ; for my own part, I have had full confidence of all in this ship ; and once more beg to express my approbation of your conduct.
Strana 150 - Then I'll take his warrant away, by Heaven! since he does not know his duty. That will do, Mr. Cheeks. I shall overlook your being in liquor, this time; but take care — send the boatswain to me.
Strana 8 - The British navy has ever been the support of that liberty which has been handed down to us by our ancestors, and which I trust we shall maintain to the latest posterity ; and that can only be done by unanimity and obedience. This ship's company, and others who have distinguished themselves by their loyalty and good order, deserve to be, and doubtless will be the favourites of a grateful...
