Page 38 - THE boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but him had fled, The flame that lit the battle's wreck Shone round him o'er the dead. Yet beautiful and bright he stood, As born to rule the storm ; A creature of heroic blood, A proud though childlike form.

Page 68 - I vow, Mr Hardcastle, you're very particular. Is there a creature in the whole country, but ourselves, that does not take a trip to town now and then, to rub off the rust a little?
Page 38 - And now we leave the camp, and descend towards the west, and are on the Ash-down. We are treading on heroes. It is . sacred ground for Englishmen, more sacred than all but one or two fields where their bones lie whitening.
