Popular passages
Page 39 - In the most high and palmy state of Rome ; A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, The grave stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets ; Stars shone with trains of fire, dews of blood fell, Disasters veil'd the sun, and the moist star, Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands, Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse.
Page 155 - May Heaven inspire some fierce gigantic Dane To give a bold defiance to our host ! Before he speaks it out, I will accept, — Like Douglas conquer, or like Douglas die!
