Стр. 101 - Etrurian shades High over-arched imbower; or scattered sedge Afloat, when with fierce winds Orion armed Hath vexed the Red-Sea coast, whose waves o'erthrew Busiris and his Memphian chivalry, While with perfidious hatred they pursued The sojourners of Goshen, who beheld From the safe shore their floating carcases And broken chariot-wheels. So thick bestrown, Abject and lost, lay these, covering the flood, Under amazement of their hideous change.

Стр. 90 - O, speak again, bright angel ! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head, As is a winged messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturned wond'ring eyes Of mortals, that fall back to gaze on him, When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds, And sails upon the bosom of the air.

Стр. 91 - Nor the other light of life continue long, But yield to double darkness nigh at hand ; So much I feel my genial spirits droop, My hopes all flat : Nature within me seems In all her functions weary of herself; My race of glory run, and race of shame, BB And I shall shortly be with them that rest.
