Side 13 - I see before me the Gladiator lie: He leans upon his hand - his manly brow Consents to death, but conquers agony. And his drooped head sinks gradually low And through his side the last drops, ebbing slow From the red gash, fall heavy, one by one, Like the first of a thunder-shower: and now The arena swims around him - he is gone, Ere ceased the inhuman shout which hail'd the wretch who won.
Side 509 - I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she just began to move in— glittering like the morning star, full of life, and splendour, and joy.

Side 510 - ... little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honour and of cavaliers. I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult.

Side 207 - Let them praise the Name of the Lord : for he spake the word, and they were made ; he commanded, and they were created.
Side 198 - This England never did, (nor never shall,) Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them : Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
