Strana 382 - And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace; where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.

Strana 15 - How the world looked when it was fresh and young, And the great deluge still had left it green; Or was it then so old that history's pages Contained no record of its early ages ? Still silent!
Strana 707 - ACHILLES' wrath, to Greece the direful spring Of woes unnumber'd, heavenly goddess, sing ! That wrath which hurl'd to Pluto's gloomy reign The souls of mighty chiefs untimely slain ; Whose limbs, unburied on the naked shore, 5 Devouring dogs and hungry vultures tore...
Strana 15 - Since first thy form was in this box extended, We have above ground seen some strange mutations: The Roman empire has begun and ended — New worlds have risen- — we have lost old nations; And countless kings have into dust been humbled, While not a fragment of thy flesh has crumbled.
