Page 260 - So geographers, in Afric maps, With savage pictures fill their gaps, And o'er unhabitable downs Place elephants for want of towns.
Page 484 - Gunga's stream My twilight steps I guide, But most beneath the lamp's pale beam I miss thee from my side. I spread my books, my pencil try, The lingering noon to cheer, But miss thy kind, approving eye, Thy meek, attentive ear. But when at morn and eve the star Beholds me on my knee, I feel, though thou art distant far, Thy prayers ascend for me.
Page 387 - A truce to thought, — the jackal's cry Resounds like sylvan revelry ; And through the trees yon failing ray Will scantly serve to guide our way.

My distresses have been greater than I have ever owned, or ever will own, to any man.

In legislation the three estates of the realm are alike concerned; but the concurrence of the peers and the Crown to a tax is only necessary to clothe it with the form of a law. The gift and grant is of the Commons alone.
Page 63 - In this sense, the word supreme is relative, not absolute. The power of the legislature is limited, not only by the general rules of natural justice and the welfare of the community, but by the forms and principles of our particular constitution.
Page 387 - Along the breezy alleys come The village song, the horn, the drum. Still as we pass, from bush and briar, The shrill cigala strikes his lyre ; And what is she, whose liquid strain Thrills through yon copse of sugar-cane ? I know that soul-entrancing swell ! It is — it must be — Philomel. Enough, enough, the rustling trees Announce a shower upon the breeze...
Page 63 - The power of King, Lords, and Commons is not an arbitrary power. They are the trustees, not the owners, of the estate. The fee-simple is in US. They cannot alienate, they cannot waste.
