Stabat Mater

Stabat mater dolorosa
juxta Crucem lacrimosa,
dum pendebat Filius.

______

Estaba la Madre dolorosa
junto a la Cruz, lacrimosa,
mientras pendía el Hijo.

At the Cross her station keeping,
stood the mournful Mother weeping,
close to her Son to the last.

God rest ye merry, gentlemen

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray:

O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn;
The which his mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn:

O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
all others doth deface:

O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Moby Dick

Suddenly a mighty mass emerged from the water, and shot up perpendicularly into the air. It was the whale.

Miriam Coffin, or The Whale Fisherman

'Stern all!' exclaimed the mate, as upon turning his head, he saw the distended jaws of a large sperm whale close to the head of the boat, threatening it with instant destruction; 'Stern all, for your lives!'

Wharton the Whale Killer

So be cheery, my lads,
let your hearts never fail,
While the bold harpooneer
is striking the whale!

Nantucket Song

Oh, the rare old Whale, mid storm and gale,

In his ocean home will be

A giant it might, where might is right,

And King of the boundless sea.

Whale Song

'There she blows!-there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick!'
