Pagina 394 - Beside yon straggling fence that skirts the way, With blossom'd furze unprofitably gay — There, in his noisy mansion, skill'd to rule, The village master taught his little school. A man severe he was, and stern to view ; I knew him well, and every truant knew: Well had the boding tremblers learn'd to trace The day's disasters in his morning face; Full well they laugh'd with counterfeited glee At all his jokes, for many a joke had he...

A very few of these cabins had puncheon floors: the greater part were earthen.
Pagina 145 - What was his name ? I do not know his name. I only know he heard God's voice and came ; Brought all he loved across the sea To live and work for God — and me; Felled the ungracious oak, With horrid toil Dragged from the soil The thrice-gnarled roots and stubborn rock ; With plenty piled the haggard mountain-side, And, when his work was done, without memorial died. No blaring trumpet sounded out his fame ; He lived, he died. I do not know his name.
Pagina 156 - ... There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me for revenge. I have sought it : I have killed many : I have fully glutted my vengeance. For my country, I rejoice at the beams of peace. But do not harbor a thought that mine is the joy of fear.
