الصفحة 162 - Genius came, Here held his pomp, and trail'd the pall Of triumph through the trophied hall : And War was clad awhile in gorgeous weeds; Amid the martial pageantries, While Beauty's glance adjudged the prize, And beam'd sweet influence on heroic deeds. Nor long...
الصفحة 300 - I been intimately conversant with the son of Abdallah, the task would still be difficult, and the success uncertain : at the distance of twelve centuries, I darkly contemplate his shade through a cloud of religious incense ; and could I truly delineate the portrait of an hour, the fleeting resemblance would not equally apply to the solitary of Mount Hera, to the preacher of Mecca, and to the conqueror of Arabia.
