Page 93 - A land-breeze shook the shrouds, And she was overset; Down went the Royal George, With all her crew complete. Toll for the brave! Brave Kempenfelt is gone; His last sea-fight is fought; His work of glory done. It was not in the battle; No tempest gave the shock; She sprang no fatal leak ; She ran upon no rock.
Page 63 - Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old; My never-failing friends are they, With whom I converse day by day.
Page 94 - With all her crew complete. Toll for the brave ! Brave Kempenfelt is gone ; His last sea-fight is fought, His work of glory done.

His sword was in its sheath, His fingers held the pen, When Kempenfelt went down With twice four hundred men.
Page 155 - Lord thine oaths : but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne : nor by the earth ; for it is his footstool : neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Page 49 - Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast, heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord ! art with me still ; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.
Page 138 - Nature seems to have taken a particular care to disseminate her blessings among the different regions of the world, with an eye to this mutual intercourse and traffic among mankind, that the natives of the several parts of the globe might have a kind of dependence upon one another, and be united together by their common interest.
Page 154 - If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Page 174 - And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Page 97 - In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.
Page 155 - Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths, but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne; nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
