Seite 258 - THE WARDEN OF THE CINQUE PORTS. A MIST was driving down the British Channel, The day was just begun. And through the window-panes, on floor and panel, Streamed the red autumn sun.

A great deal was always said about his taking his rides — for he used then to ride eighteen or twenty miles every day — and great pains were taken to send forward his luncheon, bottled porter, I think, and getting him a beef-steak or mutton chop ready at some place fixed beforehand.

It glanced on flowing flag and rippling pennon, And the white sails of ships ; And, from the frowning rampart, the black cannon Hailed it with feverish lips. Sandwich and Romney, Hastings, Hythe and Dover Were all alert that day, To see the French war-steamers speeding over, When the fog cleared away.
Seite 37 - I take the first opportunity of acquainting Mr. Pitt, that the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports is an office for which I will not receive any recommendations ; having positively resolved to confer it on him, as a mark of that regard which his eminent services have deserved from me.
Seite 293 - I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Seite 258 - To see the French war-steamers speeding over, When the fog cleared away. Sullen and silent, and like couchant lions. Their cannon, through the night, Holding their breath, had watched, in grim defiance, The sea-coast opposite. And now they roared at drum-beat from their stations On every citadel ; Each answering each, with morning salutations, That all was well.
Seite 129 - Pitt) that he would have died so soon. He died in January 1806 ; and I met him at Lord Camden's, in Kent, and I think that he did not seem ill, in the November previous.
