Pagina 403 - Free from harm as well as I: I will give thee for thy food No fish that useth in the mud; But trout and pike, that love to swim Where the gravel from the brim Through the pure streams may be seen: Orient pearl fit for a queen Will I give, thy love to win, And a shell to keep them in; Not a fish in all my brook That shall disobey thy look, But, when thou wilt, come sliding by, And from thy white hand take a fly...
Pagina 152 - VIII. object at which we aim is the extinction of slavery — nothing less than the extinction of slavery, — in nothing less than the whole of the British dominions : not, however, the rapid termination of that state ; not the sudden emancipation of the Negro ; but such preparatory steps, such measures of precaution, as, by slow degrees, and in a course of years, first fitting and qualifying the slaves for the enjoyment of freedom, shall gently conduct us to the annihilation of slavery.
