Page 694 - Have we not seen at pleasure's lordly call, The smiling long-frequented village fall?

Page 1230 - Oh ! you might deem the spot The spacious cavern of some virgin mine, Deep in the womb of earth — where the gems grow, And diamonds put forth radiant rods and bud With amethyst and topaz — and the place Lit up, most royally, with the pure beam That dwells in them.
