Strana 16 - Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners, and are not governed by the same laws.
Strana 102 - Spare — spare him — Brazil — Desmond fierce ! In vain — no voice the adder charms ; Their weapons cross'd my sheltering arms : Another's sword has laid him low — Another's and another's ; And every hand that dealt the blow — Ah me ! it was a brother's...
Strana 203 - DUELLING as a punishment is absurd; because it is an equal chance, whether the punishment fall upon the offender, or the person offended. Nor is it much better as a reparation; it being difficult to explain in what the satisfaction consists, or how it tends to undo the injury, or to afford a compensation for the damage already sustained. The truth is, it is not considered as either.
Strana 102 - But Heaven, at last, my soul's eclipse Did with a vision bright inspire : I woke and felt upon my lips A prophetess's fire. Thrice in the...

The standard of O'Connor's sway Was in the turret where I lay ; That standard, with so dire a look, As ghastly shone the moon and pale, I gave,—that every bosom shook Beneath its iron mail.
Strana 150 - But cease, ye pitying bosoms, cease to bleed! Such scenes no more demand the tear humane; I see, I see! glad Liberty succeed With every patriot virtue in her train! And mark yon peasant's raptur'd eyes; 25 Secure he views his harvests rise; No fetter vile the mind shall know, And Eloquence shall fearless glow.
Strana 102 - High lift the banner of your pride! But know that where its sheet unrolls The weight of blood is on your souls! Go where the havoc of your kerne Shall float as high as mountain fern!
