Pàgina 142 - TO one who has been long in city pent, 'Tis very sweet to look into the fair And open face of heaven, — to breathe a prayer Full in the smile of the blue firmament. Who is more happy, when, with heart's content, Fatigued he sinks into some pleasant lair Of wavy grass, and reads a debonair And gentle tale of love and languishment ?

Pàgina 371 - A birr ! a whirr ! a salmon's on, A goodly fish ! a thumper ! Bring up, bring up the ready gaff, And if we land him, we shall quaff Another glorious bumper ! Hark ! 'tis the music of the reel, The strong, the quick, the steady ; The line darts from the active wheel, Have all things right and ready. A...
Pàgina 32 - It is about a mile in length, and a quarter of a mile in breadth, but contracts at both ends.
Pàgina 332 - Thus then to man the voice of Nature spake : — % ' Go, from the creatures thy instructions take : Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield ; Learn from the beasts the physic of the field: Thy arts of building from the bee receive; Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave ; Learn of the little nautilus to sail ; Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale...
Pàgina 72 - If any of you know cause, or just impediment, why these two persons should not be joined together in holy Matrimony, ye are to declare it.
Pàgina 19 - If my life slioulil depend on the wager, I know not which brother I'd back ; The parson, the squire, or the major — The purple, the pink, or the black." But the clergyman was the member of the triumvirate that I should have chosen to stand upon, or to have " taken against the field." Mr. Elwes, before alluded to, rode blood horses, and rode them well : what gentleman should ever mount himself on a cocktail, the very emphatic for a quadruped snob?
