Сторінка 40 - Admit it partially, and half exclude, And half reveal its graces : in this path How long soe'er the wanderer roves, each step Shall wake fresh beauties ; each short point present A different picture, new, and yet the same.
Сторінка 36 - His gardens next your admiration call, On every side you look, behold the wall! No pleasing intricacies intervene, No artful wildness to perplex the scene: Grove nods at grove, each alley has a brother, And half the platform just reflects the other.

Сторінка 131 - Kilda's * shore, whose lonely race Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds, The royal eagle draws his vigorous young, Strong-pounced, and ardent with paternal fire. Now fit to raise a kingdom of their own, He drives them from his fort, the towering seat, For ages, of his empire ; which, in peace, Unstain'd he holds, while many a league to sea He wings his course, and preys in distant isles.
Сторінка 44 - ... idea of it by describing it as displaying the mountains in a transparent state, and suffused with a lively purple hue.
