第i页 - When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung ; By forms unseen their dirge is sung ; There Honour comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay ; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there.
第262页 - Well, comrades," he would say, " what are you doing there?" As soon as his voice was heard, they would instantly appear, and cry out, " Long live our good father Zieten !" " Well, and how do things go on with you ?" he would add. If they should answer,

At no time, indeed, was he ever neglectful of the duty of prayer ; nor did a day pass without his having acquitted himself of it in the silence of his closet, excluded from the observation of the whole world. His prayers were not limited to any fixed periods ; he consecrated to...
第260页 - By day and by night, while the rest of the army were taking their repose, he was on horseback, examining the face of the country in order to discover on what point the enemy might probably make an attack, and what spots were best adapted for making a defence.
第205页 - His great soul gave way to melancholy presentiments : he hesitated for the first time, on the part he had to act.

第262页 - Jake courage, comrades," he would answer, "If qhings go ill to-day, they may grow better to-morrow."
