Side 256 - Now must we praise the Guardian of heaven's kingdom, The Creator's might, and his mind's thought ; Glorious Father of men ! as of every wonder He, Lord eternal, formed the beginning. He first framed for the children of earth The heaven as a roof; holy Creator! Then mid-earth, the Guardian of mankind, The eternal Lord, afterwards produced; The earth for men, Lord Almighty.
Side 15 - Saint Cuthbert sits, and toils to frame The sea-born beads that bear his name : Such tales had Whitby's fishers told, And said they might his shape behold, And hear his anvil sound ; A deaden'd clang, — a huge dim form, Seen but, and heard, when gathering storm And night were closing round.
Side 186 - And how, of thousand snakes, each one Was changed into a coil of stone, When holy Hilda prayed ; Themselves, within their holy bound, Their stony folds had often found. They told, how sea-fowls...
Side 291 - ... for it appears that there was no sign of the Christian faith, no church, no altar erected throughout all the nation of the Bernicians, before that new commander of the army, prompted by the devotion of his faith, set up the cross as he was going to give battle to his barbarous enemy.
Side 267 - In many lines there occur one or more unstressed syllables, which form, as it were, the elastic unmeasured part of the line ; these for want of a better term we call slurred syllables, or collectively a slur. It is not meant that these syllables are gabbled over, they may be spoken fast or slow, but that they are redundant or unimportant for the ' make ' or structure of the verse, and that they would be less emphasised, and spoken in a less vigorous tone than the rest of the line. There may be one...
Side 83 - ... they found him lying whole, uncorrupt, with his face bare, and his beard as of a fortnight's growth, and all the vestments about him, as he was accustomed to say mass, and his metwand of gold lying by him.
Side 258 - That they belong to the seventh century cannot be doubted ; they contain forms of the language which are evidently earlier even than those which occur in the contemporary version of Baeda's verses in a MS. at S. Gallen. and the copy of Cffidmon's first song at the end of the MS. of the ' Historia Ecclesiastica,' which was completed two years after its author's death.
Side 70 - ... either end, that went over the banner cloth to which it was fastened, which wand was the thickness of a man's finger, having at either end a fine silver bell. The wand was fastened by the middle to the banner staff under the cross. The banner cloth was a yard broad and five quarters deep, and the bottom of it was indented in five parts and fringed, and made fast all about it with red silk and gold. It was also made of red velvet on both sides, sumptuously embroidered and wrought with flowers...
Side 270 - The clear beams, The bucklers shone, The shades prevailed; Yet the falling nightly shadows Might not near Shroud the gloom. The heavenly candle burnt, The new night-ward Must by compulsion Rest over the hosts, Lest them horror of the waste, The hoar heath With its raging storms, Should overwhelm, Their souls fail. Had their harbinger Fiery locks, Pale beams: A cry of dread resounded In the martial host, At the hot flame, That it in the waste Would burn up the host, Unless they zealously Moses obeyed....
Side 119 - Ay, but to die, and go we know not where ; To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot ; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod ; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice...
