Pàgina 181 - Britannia's golden mine, a rich Peru ! How his eyes languish ! how his thoughts adore That painted coat, which Joseph never wore ! He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin, That touch'd the ruff, that touch'd Queen Bess's chin...
Pàgina 145 - L'art de tromper les yeux par les couleurs, L'art plus heureux de séduire les cœurs, De cent plaisirs font un plaisir unique.

Pàgina 166 - He told us he had been thirty years employing his thoughts for the improvement of human life. He had two large rooms full of wonderful curiosities, and fifty men at work ; some were condensing air into a dry tangible substance by extracting the nitre and letting the aqueous or fluid particles percolate; others softening marble for pillows and pin-cushions ; others petrifying the hoofs of a living horse to preserve them from foundering.

Pàgina 179 - The lunatic, the lover, and the poet," says Shakspeare, (who very properly lumps them together) " are of imagination all compact ;" and elsewhere he observes, " Love is merely madness, and deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do ; and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is, that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.
Pàgina 74 - It is bristled with thorns, I confess; But so is the much-flatter'd Rose : Is the Sweetbriar lauded the less Because amid prickles it grows ? 'Twere to cut off an epigram's point, Or disfurnish a knight of his spurs, If we foolishly wish'd to disjoint Its arms from the lance-bearing Furze. Ye dabblers in mines, who would clutch The wealth which their bowels enfold, See ! Nature, with Midas-like touch, Here turns a whole common to gold.
