"Drown'd me if I ever 'eard sich 'orrid talk in all my days, an' I've groomed for a earl ah, an' a markis afore now!" Having said which, he clenched his fists, squared his shoulders and launched himself at me like a charging bull.
O manners, ruin, and the people's shame! He suffer'd not alone, the Roman name, Virtue and honour to their period came. Thus wretched Rome does her own ruin share, At once the merchant, and at once the ware, All lands are mortgag'd, and all persons bound, And in the use the principal is drown'd. What rules of reason, or soft gentle ways, Rome from this lethargy of vice can raise?
In darksome depths thy light lies drown'd, And time must yet complete its round, And the trump of the Second Advent sound, Ere ever my "Here, you! Hold your tongue!" grunted Vologonov irritably.
I turn'd them loose in a Plantation, and the young ones, and some of the old ones bred great Maggots in their Testicles. At last, the great Gust in September, 1700, brought a great deal of Rain, and drown'd them all in their Holes. I intend to make a second Tryal of them in North Carolina, and doubt not but to secure them. His Skin is used almost in the same Nature as the Buffelo's.
The temple with eternal ice is crown'd, Whose milky top so far in clouds is drown'd; You'd think its shoulders in the heavens bound Not the warm rays of a meridian sun, Or the hot southern winds can melt it down. So fixt with ice and snows it did appear, That its aspiring top the globe might bear. Here conquering Caesar leads his joyful bands, And on the proudest cliff consid'ring stands.
Virginia, mother of greatness, Blush not for being also mother of slaves; You might have borne deeper slaves Doughfaces, crawlers, lice of humanity Terrific screamers of freedom, Who roar and bawl, and get hot i' the face, But were they not incapable of august crime, Would quench the hopes of ages for a drink Muck-worms, creeping flat to the ground, A dollar dearer to them than Christ's blessing; All loves, all hopes, less than the thought of gain, In life walking in that as in a shroud; Men whom the throes of heroes, Great deeds at which the gods might stand appal'd, The shriek of the drown'd, the appeal of women, The exulting laugh of untied empires, Would touch them never in the heart, But only in the pocket.
Here you ought to come, O restless Lovers, to behold your selves in these two darlings; you, who in your wooing are also possessed with jealousie, if you see that another obtains access to your Mistriss; or who, perhaps as wel as you, doth but once kiss the knocker of the dore, or cause an Aubade to be plaied under her Chamber Window: Look sharply about you, and behold how these Aubades decline, or whether it be worth your while to give your Rival the Challenge; or to stab, poison, or drown'd your self, to shew, by such an untimely death, the love you had for her; and on your Grave, bear this Epitaph, that through damn'd jealousie you murthered your self.
My Crab, my Scorpion, fishes you may see The Maid with ballance, twain with horses three, The Ram, the Bull, the Lion, and the Beagle, The Bear, the Goat, the Raven, and the Eagle, The Crown, the Whale, the Archer, Bernice Hare The Hidra, Dolphin, Boys that water bear, Nay more, then these, Rivers 'mongst stars are found Eridanus, where Phaeton was drown'd.
I wish them all kilt for their pains; For shure though the craters are clever, Tis sartin they've drown'd my domains. I've built a log hut of the timber That grows on my charmin' estate; And an illigant root-house erected, Just facing the front of my gate.
To-night, since, I have been long on the river. And there, as I look eastward, my long-absent Pleiades, welcome again to sight. For an hour I enjoy the soothing and vital scene to the low splash of waves new stars steadily, noiselessly rising in the east. As I cross the Delaware, one of the deck-hands, F. R., tells me how a woman jump'd overboard and was drown'd a couple of hours since.
