Side 195 - Decan spreads her arms, Branching so broad and long, that in the ground The bended twigs take root, and daughters grow About the mother-tree, a pillar'd shade, High overarch'd, and echoing walks between ; There oft the Indian herdsman shunning heat Shelters in cool, and tends his pasturing herds At loopholes cut through thickest shade.
Side 143 - There daily I wander as noon rises high, My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye. How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below, Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow; There oft as mild evening weeps over the lea, The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me.
Side 190 - Of flowers that with one scarlet gleam Cover a hundred leagues, and seem To set the hills on fire. The youth of green savannahs spake, And many an endless, endless lake With all its fairy crowds Of islands, that together lie As quietly as spots of sky Among the evening clouds.

Side 277 - It has a strange quick jar upon the ear, That cocking of a pistol, when you know A moment more will bring the sight to bear Upon your person, twelve yards off, or so; A gentlemanly distance, not too near, If you have got a former friend for foe ; But after being fired at once or twice, The ear becomes more Irish, and less nice. Lambro presented, and one instant more Had stopp'd this Canto, and Don Juan's breath, When Haidee threw herself her boy before ; Stern as her sire : "On me," she cried, "let...
Side 80 - Jesus died for me,' he fervently responded to the sentiment, and added, ' I never asked for joy, I always thought myself unworthy of it ; but He has given me more than I asked.
Side 170 - Tennent, who draws attention to ' the imperfect ' sympathy which subsists between the two lobes of the brain, ' and the two sets of nerves which permeate the opposite sides of
Side 83 - ME is so gradual that it is difficult to tell where the one ends and the other begins...
