Pàgina 529 - While the jolly hours lead on propitious May. Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day, First heard before the shallow cuckoo's bill, Portend success in love. O, if Jove's will Have linked that amorous power to thy soft lay, Now timely sing, ere the rude bird of hate Foretell my hopeless doom, in some grove nigh; As thou from year to year hast sung too late For my relief, yet hadst no reason why.

Pàgina 225 - By these they pass'd, one chasing, one in flight: (The mighty fled, pursued by stronger might.) Swift was the course; no vulgar prize they play, No vulgar victim must reward the day, (Such as in races crown the speedy strife,) The...
Pàgina 262 - It is a fact of public notoriety," says Thornton,* " that governments of every description are openly sold at the Porte ; they are held for the term of one year only, and, at the ensuing bairam, the leases must be renewed or transferred to a less parsimonious competitor. In the public registers, the precise value of every important post under government is recorded ; and the regular remittance of the taxes and tribute is the only acknowledged criterion of upright administration.
Pàgina 256 - Turkish power; but it soon recovered from the shocks it had sustained; and, in 1453, Mahomet II. entered Constantinople sword in hand, and established himself on the throne of Constantino and Justinian ! But the undisturbed possession of all the countries from Mount Amanus to the Danube, did not satisfy the restless and insatiable ambition of the Turks. Selim, the...
Pàgina 259 - ... success in war, the Turks," says Thornton, "were the first of military nations. When the whole art of war was changed, and victory or defeat became matter of calculation, the rude and illiterate Turkish warriors experienced the fatal consequences of ignorance without suspecting the cause ; accustomed to employ no other means than force, they sunk into despondency, when force could no longer avail.
Pàgina 559 - ... those who sold them. Both the eggs and the ants are brought to Moscow as food for nightingales, which are favourite, though common birds in Russian houses. They sing in every respect as beautifully in cages as in their native woods. We often heard them in the bird-shops, warbling with all the fatness and variety of tone which characterizes the nightingale in its natural state.* The price of one of them, in full song, is about fifteen roubles.
Pàgina 676 - After breakfast, went to visit the volcanic cones in the vicinity. The one we visited was one of the most perfect, and at the same time one of the most accessible. It was not more than one hundred and fifty or two hundred feet above the level of the sandy plain on which it stands. I was very greatly interested in this volcano. It seems to me that its structure clearly reveals some points of its history. It consists of two very perfect cones and craters, one within the other. The outer cone, which...
Pàgina xxiv - There are not more than fifteen or twenty species of quadrupeds that belong exclusively" to Europe, and these are not of the most useful kind. Some animals, as the horse, the ox, the sheep, and the dog;, have been greatly improved by the care and industry of man ; but the most valuable natural productions have been imported from other quarters of the world. The silk-worm was brought from India, fine wool from Mauritania, the peach from Persia, the orange from China, and the potato from America. If...
Pàgina 256 - Kuolles, who wrote above two centuries since, ' its beginning, its progress, and uninterrupted success, there is nothing in the world more admirable and strange ; if the greatness and lustre thereof, nothing more magnificent and glorious ; if the power and strength thereof, nothing more dreadful and dangerous ; which, wondering at nothing but the beauty of itself, and drunk with the pleasant wine of perpetual felicity, holdeth all the rest of the world in scorn.
