Popular passages
Page 87 - O Lord, how manifold are thy works ! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Page 88 - And first one universal shriek there rush'd, Louder than the loud ocean, like a crash Of echoing thunder ; and then all was hush'd, Save the wild wind and the remorseless dash Of billows ; but at intervals there gush'd, Accompanied with a convulsive splash, A solitary shriek, the bubbling cry Of some strong swimmer in his agony.
Page 88 - The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Page 49 - Tell that insolent rebel he shall neither have persons, goods, nor house. When our strength and provisions are spent we shall find a fire more merciful than Rigby ; and then, if the providence of God prevent it not, my goods and house shall burn in his sight ; and myself, children, and soldiers, rather than fall into his hands, will seal our religion and loyalty in the same flame...

Page 87 - STUDIES BY THE SEA. AH! wherefore do the incurious say, That this stupendous ocean wide, No change presents from day to day, Save only the alternate tide; Or save when gales of summer glide Across the lightly crisped wave; Or, when against the cliff's rough side, As equinoctial tempests rave, It wildly bursts; o'erwhelms the deluged strand, Tears down its bounds, and desolates the land ? He who with more enquiring eyes Doth this extensive scene survey...
Page 25 - Take this final answer, and forbear any further solicitations ; for if you trouble me with any more messages upon this occasion, I will burn the paper, and hang the bearer.
Page 25 - I received your Letter with indignation and scorn, and return you this answer, that I cannot but wonder whence you should gather any hopes from me, that I should, like you, prove...
Page 37 - ... it is here that the swarthy daughters of Cadmus may hang their trophies on high ; for when all the pride of the chisel and the pomp of heraldry yield to the silent touches of time, a single line, a half-worn-out inscription, remain faithful to their trust.
