Página 31 - Rocks rich in gems, and mountains big with mines, That on the high equator ridgy rise, Whence many a bursting stream auriferous plays : Majestic woods, of every vigorous green, Stage above stage, high waving o'er the hills ; Or to the far horizon wide diffus'd, A boundless deep immensity of shade.
Página 201 - I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part And each particular hair to stand on end, Like quills upon the fretful porcupine : But this eternal blazon must not be To ears of flesh and blood.
Página 8 - Sits darkly musing o'er th' unfinish'd lay. Let no Corinthian pillars prop the dome, A vain expense, on charitable deeds Better dispos'd, to clothe the tatter'd wretch Who shrinks beneath the blast, to feed the poor Pinch'd with afflictive want : for use, not state, Gracefully plain, let each apartment rise. O'er all let cleanliness preside, no scraps Bestrew the pavement, and no half-pick'd bones, To kindle fierce debate, or to disgust That nicer sense, on which the sportsman's hope And all his...

There lies the buck, its tongue out, its eye dim, its breath exhausted : it is dead. The hunter draws his knife, cuts the buck's throat almost asunder, and prepares to skin it. For this purpose he hangs it upon the branch of a tree. When the skin is removed, he cuts off the hams, and abandoning the rest of the carcass to the wolves and vultures, reloads his gun, flings the venison, enclosed...
Página 105 - We shall therefore suppose that we are now about to follow the true hunter, as the " still hunter" is also called, through the interior of the tangled woods, across morasses, ravines, and such places, where the game may prove more or less plentiful, even should none be found there in the first instance. We...

Página 104 - Still-hunting is followed as a kind of trade by most of our frontier men. To be practised with success, it requires great activity, an expert management of the rifle, and a thorough kno'wledge of the forest, together with an intimate acquaintance with the habits of the deer, not only at different seasons of the year, but also at every hour of the day, as the hunter must be aware of the situation which the game prefers, and in which it is most likely to be found at any particular time.
