Página 608 - Not in vain the beginning is crimsoned with blood ; Tis the day-star that rises so gory. If once there was need of courage and might, Now gather all courage and strength for the fight, Lest the ship in the haven yet perish. The tiger is crouching ; ye young men, awake ! Ye old men, to arms ! my countrymen, break From the slumbers of death, which you cherish. What avails it to live, if liberty fall? What is there so dear in this Infinite All, As our own mother country, that bore us? We'll free our...

Página 246 - So, one day, after preaching, a friend, " who had a kind heart, but an arbitrary character," took him by the button, and said, " Your sermon, sir, was very sensible ; but you spoil your discourses with your views about freedom. We are all wearied with hearing the same thing from you. You always have something about freedom in whatever you say to us. I am sick of hearing about freedom ; we have too much freedom.
