Quotes

  • He taught them how to live and how to die.
  • For the next inn he spurs amain,In haste alights, and skuds away,But time and tide for no man stay.
  • My hoarse-sounding hornInvites thee to the chase, the sport of kings;Image of war, without its guilt.
  • Hail, happy Britain! highly favoured isle, And Heaven's peculiar care!
  • Hail, gentle Dawn! mild blushing goddess, hail!Rejoic'd I see thy purple mantle spreadO'er half the skies, gems pave thy radiant way,And orient pearls from ev'ry shrub depend.
  • Hail, blooming Youth!May all your virtues with your years improve,Till in consummate worth you shine the prideOf these our days, and succeeding timesA bright example.
