Sir, it will be 'the last echo of a host o'erthrown. The British power will be swept from this continent for ever, and though she may, 'like the sultan sun, struggle upon the fiery verge of heaven, she must yield at last to the impulses of freedom, and to the touch of that destiny which shall crush her power in the western hemisphere!"
Perhaps who knows? in his own land he will become a mighty prince and treat with proud Pharaoh on equal terms. Will he remember her, his only friend in a land of foes? Will he think of her when Ammon is o'erthrown and proud Moab pays his tribute? Ah, no!
Then on us fell a thunderblast From out the heaven far away, And like the sheaves in reaping-time Midmost a field, o'erthrown we lay. And now beneath the storied plains Of earth we wait the appointed Day. In the midst stood a throne of gold, whereon lay a man of gigantic stature, filling the whole length and breadth of the throne.
"An' that putty little cabin in the back, with po'ch an' all, an' little missy done say it got furnisher in it too," he murmured plaintively. A Cavalier O'erthrown The house party departed and Buck Hill settled into normalcy. Jeff had tried very hard to be what Mildred had expected him to be for the last few days.
The gods from their seats in the heavens were hurled, And their pillars of glory o'erthrown; And the Son of the Virgin appeared in the world For the sins of mankind to atone. The fugitive lusts of the sense were suppressed, And man now first grappled with thought in his breast.
Pity a Youth that never lov'd before, Remember 'tis a Prince that does adore; Who offers up a Heart that never found It could receive, till from your Eyes, a wound. Er. To your command should I submit to yield, Where could I from Alcippus be conceal'd? What could defend me from his jealous Rage? Gal. Trust me, Erminia, I'll for that engage. Er. And then my Honour by that flight's o'erthrown. Gal.
When war was declared against France, he tells us, he prayed for French victories, and Exulted in the triumph of my soul, When Englishmen by thousands were o'erthrown, Left without glory on the field, or driven, Brave hearts! to shameful flight.
Now my charms are all o'erthrown, And what strength I have's my own, Which is most faint. Now I want Spirits to enforce, art to enchant; And my ending is despair, Unless I be relieved by prayer, Which pierces so, that it assaults Mercy itself, and frees all faults. As you from crimes would pardon'd be, Let your indulgence set me free. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. Epilogue to The Tempest.
With thee have I pushed into all the forbidden, all the worst and the furthest: and if there be anything of virtue in me, it is that I have had no fear of any prohibition. With thee have I broken up whatever my heart revered; all boundary-stones and statues have I o'erthrown; the most dangerous wishes did I pursue, verily, beyond every crime did I once go.
Whose mind's so marbled, and his heart so hard, That would not, when this huge mishap was heard, To th' utmost note of sorrow set their song, To see a gallant, with so great a grace, So suddenly unthought on, so o'erthrown, And so to perish, in so poor a place, By too rash riding in a ground unknown! POEM, IN NISBET'S Heraldry, vol. ii.
