From the crest of the green mound on Bunker Hill, at Charlestown, rises the granite monument seen from all the country round.

Those cone-shaped masses presented a front of horses, and their broader sides were filled and bristling with lances.

Mary Reed was now a regular pirate, with a cutlass, pistol, and every outward appearance of a daring sea-robber, except that she wore no bristling beard, but as her face was sunburned and seamed by the weather, she looked mannish enough to frighten the senses out of any unfortunate trader on whose deck she bounded in company with her shouting, hairy-faced companions.
The initiation which thou didst confer by a smile upon the Athenian at his birth I have acquired by force of reflection and long labour. "I am born, O goddess of the blue eyes, of barbarian parents, among the good and virtuous Cimmerians who dwell by the shore of a melancholy sea, bristling with rocks ever lashed by the storm.
