Strana 46 - Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near, Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear, And who felt how the best charms of nature improve, When we see them reflected from looks that we love. Sweet vale of Avoca ! how calm could I rest In thy bosom of shade with the friends I love best, Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease, And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace ! ST SENANUS AND THE LADY.
Strana 158 - We are but saints, the hermits said ; No hurt shall come to you or yours : But for that pack of churlish boors, Not fit to live on Christian ground, They and their houses shall be drown'd ; Whilst you shall see your cottage rise, And grow a church before your eyes.
Strana 3 - This is one of the happiest days of my life. I have long wished to visit you : my heart has always been Irish — from the day it first beat, I have loved Ireland. This day has shown me that I am beloved by my Irish subjects. Rank, station, honours, are nothing; but to feel. that I live in the hearts of my Irish subjects, is to me the most exalted happiness.
Strana 165 - Sacred to the glorious Memory of King William the Third, who, on the first of July, 1600, passed the river, near this place, to attack James the Second, at the head of a Popish army, advantageously posted on the south side of it, and did on that day, by a successful battle, secure to us and to our posterity our liberty, laws, and religion. In consequence of this action James the Second left this kingdom, and fled to France.
Strana 200 - Sea ; when we considered all this, it was obvious enough, what a dangerous undertaking we had ventured upon. But the resolution and courage of our people, and the necessity we were under, and the great confidence and dependence among us on God Almighty, that he would take care of us and preserve us, made us overlook all those difficulties.
Strana 54 - Ne'er to these chambers, where the mighty rest, Since their foundation, came a nobler guest ; Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed A fairer spirit, or more welcome shade. In what new region, to the just assigned, What new employments please th
Strana 3 - I may not be able to express my feelings as I wish : I have travelled far ; I have made a long sea voyage; besides which, particular circumstances have occurred, known to you all, of which it is better at present not to speak.
Strana 205 - Through all her train the soft infection ran ; . The pious maids their mingled sorrows shed, And mourn the living Hector, as the dead.
Strana 54 - The. man who has so served her must ever be the object of the reverential gratitude and pious recollections of every Irishman. When the illustrious dead of different kingdoms were at length interred within the same cemetery, there would seem to be a closer union between them than laws and nations could effect ; and whenever the remains of the great man should- be carried to that spot where slept...
Strana 145 - Beholds yon abbey's desolate remains, And quotes the annals of its brilliancy, When to its stately porch and sculptured nave In better days the poor and sorrowing hied, And as the holy fathers solace gave, Found their griefs soften'd and their wants supplied. * * * * Nor let thy last lord, Jerpoint, be forgot, Whose sorrows teach a lesson man should learn ; But fancy leads me to the very spot From whence he parted, never to return. I mark the venerable abbot stand Beneath the shadow of his church's...
