Página xiv - Far from me and from my friends be such frigid philosophy, as may conduct us indifferent and unmoved over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery, or virtue. That man is little to be envied, whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of lona.
Página 77 - And there they stand, as stands a lofty mind, Worn, but unstooping to the baser crowd, All tenantless, save to the crannying wind, Or holding dark communion with the cloud.
Página 54 - And cheerfu' sing, alang wi' me, The reel o' Tullochgorum. O, Tullochgorum 's' my delight, It gars us a' in ane unite, And ony sumph ' that keeps up spite, In conscience I abhor him. For blythe and cheery we's be a, Blythe and cheery, blythe and cheery, Blythe and cheery we's be a', And mak

Let worldly worms their minds oppress Wi' fears o' want and double cess, And sullen sots themsel's distress Wi' keeping up decorum. Shall we sae sour and sulky sit? Sour and sulky, sour and sulky, Sour and sulky shall we sit, Like auld philosophorum?

Página 55 - And dainties a great store o' 'em ! May peace and plenty be his lot, Unstained by any vicious blot ; And may he never want a groat. That's fond of Tullochgorum ! But for the discontented fool, Who wants to be oppression's tool, May envy gnaw his rotten soul, And discontent devour him ! May dool and sorrow be his chance, Dool and sorrow, dool and sorrow, May dool and sorrow be his chance, And nane say, Wae's me for 'im ! May dool and sorrow be his chance. And a...
Página 167 - We arrived at Balmoral at a quarter to three. It is a pretty little castle in the old Scottish style. There is a picturesque tower and garden in front, with a high wooded hill; at the back there is a wood down to the Dee; and the hills rise all around.
