The entrance of the port was closed by a strong chain, the end of which was secured in a fort, of which the Greeks held possession, in Galata. The first division of the Ottoman army left Adrianople in February, 1453. In April, the Sultan established his lines from the head of the port to the shore of the Propontis, and erected his batteries...
Página 234 - By the sea's margin, on the watery strand, Thy monument, Themistocles, shall stand: By this directed to thy native shore, ! The merchant shall convey his freighted store; And when our fleets are summoned to the fight, Athens shall conquer with thy tomb in sight.
Página 166 - The flying Mede, his shaftless broken bow ; The fiery Greek, his red pursuing spear ; Mountains above, Earth's, Ocean's plain below ; Death in the front, Destruction in the rear ! Such was the scene — what now remaineth here...
