But distant winds began to wake, And roused the Genius of the Lake! He heard the groaning of the oak, And donn'd at once his sable cloak, As warrior, at the battle-cry, Invests him with his panoply: Then, as the whirlwind nearer press'd He 'gan to shake his foamy crest O'er furrow'd brow and blacken'd cheek, And bade his surge in thunder speak. In wild and broken eddies whirl'd.
I cried, "we ne'er can part, My angry father's wrath I'll brave; He shall not tear thee from my heart. Fly, fly with me across the wave!" My hand convulsively she press'd, Her tears were mingling fast with mine; And, sinking trembling on my breast, She murmur'd out, "For ever thine!"

Since then, how often hast thou press'd The torrid zone of this wild breast, Whose wrath and hate have sworn to dwell With the first sin which peopled hell; A breast whose blood's a troubled ocean, Each throb the earthquake's wild commotion! O, if such clime thou canst endure, Yet keep thy hue unstain'd and pure, What conquest o'er each erring thought Of that fierce realm had Agnes wrought!
The same evidence will arise also from accidents, as in the following examples: ... me horror chills, Shudd'ring, and fear congeals my curdling blood. ... to their bosoms press'd, The frighted mothers clasp'd their crying babes. This perfection, the greatest, in my opinion, a discourse can have, is very easily acquired by only considering and following nature.
Bridget, quoth the corporal, taking her by the hand, did he receive the wound which crush'd him so miserably here. In pronouncing which, he slightly press'd the back of her hand towards the part he felt for and let it fall.
