Seite 128 - The stately sailing swan Gives out his snowy plumage to the gale : And arching proud his neck , with oary feet Bears forward fierce , and guards his osier-isle , Protective of his young.
Seite 302 - midst the desert fruitful fields arise, That, crown'd with tufted trees and springing corn, Like verdant isles, the sable waste adorn.
Seite 333 - Bally-houra hills to the north, or, as Spenser terms them, the mountains of Mole ; Nagle mountains to the south ; and the mountains of Kerry to the west. It commanded a view of above half the breadth of Ireland ; and must have been, when the adjacent uplands were wooded, a most pleasant and romantic situation; from whence, no doubt, Spenser drew several parts of the scenery of his poem.
