Page 7 - In song and dance about the sacred Hill — Mystical dance, which yonder starry sphere Of planets and of fixed in all her wheels Resembles nearest; mazes intricate, Eccentric, intervolved, yet regular Then most when most irregular they seem; And in their motions harmony divine So smooths her charming tones that God's own ear Listens delighted.
Page 3 - Shot parallel to the earth his dewy ray, Discovering in wide landscape all the east Of Paradise and Eden's happy plains, Lowly they bow'd adoring, and began Their orisons, each morning duly paid In various style ; for neither various style Nor holy rapture wanted they to praise Their Maker, in fit strains pronounced or sung Unmeditated ; such prompt eloquence Flow'd from their lips, in prose or numerous verse More tuneable than needed lute or harp To add more sweetness...

Page 57 - Beat to quarters, and fire coolly and deliberately at her masts and yards.
Page 247 - Hearts of oak are our ships, Hearts of oak are our men, We always are ready : Steady, boys, steady ! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
Page 212 - And it swoops from the hill with a broader blaze On — on the fiery glory rode — Thy lonely lake, Gorgopis, glowed — To Megara's Mount it came ; They feed it again, And it streams amain — A giant beard of flame ! The headland cliffs that darkly down O'er the Saronic waters frown, Are...
Page 97 - One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
