Oft, those dreary rocks among, The murmurs of unholy song,...
Сторінка 15 - Mid dreary valleys, by the falls Of haunted streams ; and magic knows No herb or plant of deadlier might, When impious footsteps wake by night The echoes of those dismal dells, What time the murky midnight dew Trembles on many a leaf and blossom, That draws from earth's polluted bosom Mysterious virtue, to imbue The chalice of unnatural spells.

Oh, youth ! Larissa's maids are fair ; But the daemons of the earth and air Their spells obey, their councils share, And wide o'er earth and ocean bear Their mandates...
Сторінка 28 - What might not that savage greatness of soul which appears in these poor wretches on many occasions, be raised to, were it rightly cultivated? And what colour of excuse can there be for the contempt with which we treat this part of our species? that we should not put them upon the common...
Сторінка 44 - I have seen several of these works in the western parts of this State. There is a large one in the town of Onondaga, one in Pompey, and another in Manlius; one in Camillus, eight miles from Auburn; one in Scipio, six miles; another one mile, and one, half a mile from that village.
Сторінка 63 - HOLY BIBLE, according to the Authorized Version ; with Notes, Explanatory and Practical, taken principally from the most eminent writers of the United Church of England and Ireland. Together with appropriate Introductions, Tables, Indexes, Maps, and Plans. Prepared and arranged by the Rev. GEORGE D'OYLY, DD and the Rev.
Сторінка 28 - Men's passions operate variously, and appear in different kinds of actions, according as they are more or less rectified and swayed by reason. When one hears of negroes, who upon the death of their masters, or upon changing their service, hang themselves upon the next tree, as it frequently happens in our American plantations, who can forbear admiring their fidelity, though it expresses itself in so dreadful...
