The deep array Of Persia at the first sustain'd the encounter; But their throng'd numbers, in the narrow seas Confined, want room for action; and deprived Of mutual aid, beaks clash with beaks, and each Breaks all the other's oars: with skill disposed, The Grecian navy circled them around In fierce assault; and, rushing from its height, The inverted vessel sinks.
Possessed of so many charms, it would have been strange if, in a city throng'd like Vienna with young noblemen, who were continually coming from all parts of the empire, she had lived without some who pretended to somewhat more than mere admiration; but her heart had not refused the worthy Dorilaus to become the conquest of a German; nor was it here she was ordained to experience those anxieties in herself, she could but imperfectly conceive by the description she had from others.
How then shall he that professes the Christian Religion, be able to bear so licentious a Treatment of all that is Good? a little degree of temperate Zeal wou'd turn him against such Abuses as these, and a middle proportion of Faith spread over the World, wou'd keep these Places from being so throng'd in their present State as they shamefully are.
"With dreadful faces throng'd and fiery arms." The preceding narrative was written by De Quincey in the summer of 1821. Those who have read the "Confessions" will have closed them with the impression that I had wholly renounced the use of opium.
Heaven did not weepe, but in its swelling eye Whole Seas of Rhume and moist Catarrs did lie, Which so bespauld the lower world, men see Corne blasted and the fruit of every tree; Aire was condenst to water gainst their wish, And all their foule was turn'd to flying Fish; Like watermen they throng'd to ply a fare, As though it had been navigable Aire.
Soft came the breath of spring; smooth flow'd the tide; And blue the heaven in its mirror smil'd; The white sail trembled, swell'd, expanded wide, The busy sailors at the anchor toil'd. With anxious friends, that shed the parting tear, The deck was throng'd how swift the moments fly! The vessel heaves, the farewel signs appear; Mute is each tongue, and eloquent each eye!
When the terms of admission were low, our room was throng'd with such multitudes, as made access dangerous, and frightened away those, whose approbation was most desired. "Yet because it is seldom believed that money is got but for the love of money, we shall tell the use which we intend to make of our expected profits.
Let the victors, when they come, When the forts of folly fall, Find thy body by the wall! But the note of battle, even for what he holds dearest and most sacred, is not a familiar note in his poetry. He had no natural love of the throng'd field where winning comes by strife. His criticism of life sets a higher value on work than on fighting.
One memorial of my former condition still remains my dreams are not yet perfectly calm; the dread swell and agitation of the storm have not wholly subsided; the legions that encamped in them are drawing off, but not all departed; my sleep is still tumultuous, and, like the gates of Paradise to our first parents when looking back from afar, it is still in Milton's tremendous line "With dreadful faces throng'd and fiery arms."
W. Newcastle has the following excellent lines in reference to Dryden's poem: "Flecnoe, thy characters are so full of wit And fancy, as each word is throng'd with it. Each line's a volume, and who reads would swear Whole libraries were in each character.
