Página 221 - As no other animal has so human-like an expression in its countenance, so also is there none that seems to possess more of the passions of humanity. The wounded animal dived immediately, and brought up a number of its companions ; and they all joined in an attack upon the boat. They wrested an oar from one of the men ; and it was with the utmost difficulty that the crew could prevent them from staving or upsetting her, till the Carcasfs boat came up : and the walruses, finding their enemies thus...
Página 192 - O Pallas ! thou hast fail'd thy plighted word, To fight with caution, not to tempt the sword : I warn'd thee, but in vain ; for well I knew What perils youthful ardour would pursue ; That boiling blood would carry thee too far, Young as thou wert in dangers, raw to war ! O curst essay of arms, disastrous doom, Prelude of bloody fields and fights to come...

The Lord Falkland, to divert the king, would have his majesty make a trial of his fortune by the sortes virgiliante, which every body knows was an unusual kind of augury some ages past.
Página 331 - The tree under which we were seated, the luminous insects flying in the air, the constellations that shone toward the south ; every object seemed to tell us, that we were far from our native soil.
