Strana 154 - But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain ; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Strana 111 - WHO sleeps below ? who sleeps below ? — It is a question idle all ! — Ask of the breezes as they blow, Say, do they heed, or hear thy call ? They murmur in the trees around, And mock thy voice, an empty sound...
Strana 268 - Tis brightness all ; save where the new snow melts Along the mazy current. Low, the woods Bow their hoar head...
Strana 66 - Yet is the very tempest dear, Whose mighty voice but tells of thee ; For, wild or calm, or far or near, I love thee still, thou glorious sea!
Strana 10 - O'Kennely, at the head of one hundred Europeans, and five hundred sepoys. In a few days, he dismounted the greater part of their guns ; and they submitted, on condition that the Europeans should be allowed to march out with the honours of war ; but the sepoys were disarmed and dismissed.

We made another excursion to the Turkish drill-ground. On our return, we were accosted by a meer-ali,...
Strana 102 - Th' inferior creatures of the air and earth, So bowed the Plague at once all human souls, And the brave man beside the natural coward Walked trembling.
Strana 125 - In the beginning of October there were only eight thousand effective men with the headquarters ; for of the thirty thousand to the south of the Balkan, at least nine thousand were sick, and dying with plague and fever. The supposed loss this year was one hundred thousand men, and last year more, principally during the siege of Varna, and the disastrous retreat of Silistria. Thirteen thousand men kept up the communication between the coast, the Balkan, and...
Strana 248 - North, and his principal work has been translated into French I had the pleasure of frequently seeing the poets Joukoffsky and Pouskin. The former is entrusted with the education of the heirapparent, now twelve years of age. His original pieces are remarkable for sprightliness of imagination with intense feeling, and he has made admirable translations of Gray's Elegy, and some of Moore's and Schiller's works. Pouskin has been equally successful with Lord Byron's vigorous strains, and many of his...
