Here are some fine lines from Lord Halifax's poem on the battle of the Boyne The King leads on, the King does all inflame, The King; and carries millions in the name. Then follows a simile about a deluge, which you may imagine; but the next lines are very good: So on the foe the firm battalions prest, And he, like the tenth wave, drove on the rest.
But still it may be treated separately, and it just carries this thought your praying and singing praises are worse than useless unless you go out into the world an embodiment and an imitation of the love which you hymn. True philanthropy has its roots in true religion. The service of man is the service of God. That principle cuts two ways.
I had supposed that this functionary would keep the purse in his upper bureau drawer at home, when he was not paying bills, but it seems that when on processional duty he carries a bag of red velvet quite a yard long over his arm, where it looks not unlike a lady's opera-cloak. It would hold the sum-total of all moneys disbursed, even if they were reduced to the standard of vulgar copper.
"Ah, William," said she, anxiously, "though certainly Randal Leslie means well, I always dread his visits." "So do I, in one sense," quoth the squire, "for he always carries away a bank-note for Frank." "I hope he is really Frank's friend," said Mrs. Hazeldean. "Who's else can he be?
As we make her acquaintance she is twenty-three years of age and looks eighteen. She is tall and slender and carries her handsome form with exquisite grace.

Moreover, Sunday is always with him, and Sunday is just as unmistakable as Posey. Sunday is a very small dog, of about the bigness of your two fists, that carries within his small skin enough courage, audacity, and dignity to befit the size of an elephant.
As long as the captain is civil to him, we may be sure beautiful Amy has not complained. Her husband is the pistol she carries in her pocket, and she has fired him twice, with effect. Through love of you I have learnt the different opinion the world of the good has of her and of me; I thought we ran under a common brand. There are gradations.
Go home. Hide in your chamber, so that you may be supposed to have gone out. They are loaded. Each one carries two balls. You will keep watch; there is a hole in the wall, as you have informed me. These men will come. Leave them to their own devices for a time. When you think matters have reached a crisis, and that it is time to put a stop to them, fire a shot. Not too soon. The rest concerns me.
In rough weather too, the spray of the sea, with heavy rain, carries much sand, which it deposits on the fronts of houses, as may be seen upon the return of moderate weather: this effect may be witnessed on the splendid terraces of the Brighton cliffs, and its destructive working on their plaster fronts is very evident.
"Is it true then," he thought, "that the affections meet the same fate as the fashions, and that the lapse of a few years can throw the same ridicule upon a costume and upon love? Happy is he who does not outlive his youth and his illusions, and who carries his treasures with him to the grave!"
