Página 410 - O unexpected stroke, worse than of death ! Must I thus leave thee, Paradise? thus leave Thee, native soil, these happy walks and shades, Fit haunt of gods? where I had hope to spend, Quiet though sad, the respite of that day That must be mortal to us both.
Página 410 - With what to sight or smell was sweet, from thee How shall I part, and whither wander down Into a lower world, to this obscure And wild ? how shall we breathe in other air Less pure, accustom'd to immortal fruits?
Página 411 - Thus we began our pilgrimage, alternately walking and riding, the roads filled with frightened women and children, some in carts with their tattered furniture, others on foot fleeing into the woods.
Página 74 - America will both have Reason to repent it. He is not only so indolent that Business will be neglected, but you know that, although he has as determined a soul as any man, yet it is his constant Policy never to say ' yes ' or ' no ' decidedly but when he cannot avoid it.

There is another thing which I am obliged to mention. There are so many private families, Ladies, and gentlemen that he visits so often, — and they are so fond of him, that he cannot well avoid...

The contents seemed to be pots and kettles, various sorts of furniture, children peeping through gridirons and other utensils. Some very young infants, who were born on the road ; the women barefooted, clothed in dirty rags.
Página 6 - The General is in camp in what is called the great valley on the Banks of the Schuylkill. Officers and men are chiefly in Hutts, which they say is tolerably comfortable; the army are as healthy as can well be expected in general. The General's apartment is very small ; he has had a log cabin built to dine in, which has made our quarter much more tolerable than they were at first.
Página 40 - I shall live and die. Is Great Britain to be annihilated ? No such thing. A revolution in her government may possibly take place, but whether in favor of despotism or republicanism is the question. The scarcity of virtue, and even the semblance of it, seems an invincible obstacle to the latter, but the annihilation of a nation never takes place.
