Page 47 - I' let the torrents, like a shout of nations, Answer !—and let the ice-plains echo, ' GOD !' ' GOD !' sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice ! Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds! And they, too, have a voice, yon piles of snow, And in their perilous fall shall thunder—
Page 47 - slope amain— Torrents, methinks, that heard a mighty voice, And stopp'd at once amid their maddest plunge ! Motionless torrents ! silent cataracts ! Who made you glorious as the gates of heaven Beneath the keen full-moon ? Who bade the sun Clothe you with rainbows

Clouds, mists, streams, watery rocks, and emerald turf, Clouds of all tincture ; rocks, and sapphire sky, Confused, commingled, mutually inflamed, Molten together, and composing thus, Each lost in each, that marvellous array Of temple, palace, citadel, and huge Fantastic pomp of structure without name, In fleecy folds voluminous enwrapp'd.

Page 55 - to the remnants of thy splendour past, Shall pilgrims, pensive, but unwearied throng; Long shall the voyager with th' Ionian blast, Hail the bright clime of battle and of song; Long shall thine annals and immortal tongue Fill with thy
Page 85 - My fathers! the tears of your country redress ye ; How you fought, how you died, still her annals can tell; On Marston, with Rupert, 'gainst traitors contending, Four brothers enrich'd with their blood the bleak field ; For the rights of a monarch their country defending, Till death their attachment to
