Strana 236 - Fond of the speculative height, Thither he wings his airy flight, And thence securely sees The bustle and the raree-show That occupy mankind below, Secure and at his ease.
Strana 237 - He sees that this great roundabout, The world, with all its motley rout, Church, army, physic, law, Its customs, and its businesses, Is no concern at all of his, And says — what says he? — Caw.
Strana 252 - And all the world would stare, If wife should dine at Edmonton, And I should dine at Ware.
