Strana 221 - Where they did all get in ; Six precious souls, and all agog To dash through thick and thin. Smack went the whip, round went the wheels, Were never folks so glad ; The stones did "rattle underneath, As if Cheapside were mad.
Strana 172 - Solitude! where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place. 1 am out of humanity's reach, I must finish my journey alone, Never hear the sweet music of speech; I start at the sound of my own. The beasts that roam over the plain My form with indifference see; They are so unacquainted with man, Their tameness is shocking to me.

But he, who knew what human hearts would prove, How slow to learn the dictates of his love, That hard by nature, and of stubborn will, A life of ease would make them harder still, In pity to the souls his grace designed To rescue from the rums of mankind, Called for a cloud to darken all their years, And said, ' Go, spend them in the vale of tears.

Strana 172 - I AM monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute ; From the centre all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
Strana 210 - And the scene, where his melody charm'd me before, Resounds with his sweet-flowing ditty no more. My fugitive years are all hasting away, And I must ere long lie as lowly as they, With a turf on my breast, and a stone at my head, Ere another such grove shall arise in its stead.
Strana 178 - On the whole it appears, and my argument shows With a reasoning the court will never condemn, That the spectacles plainly were made for the Nose, And the Nose was as plainly intended for them.
Strana 227 - And thus unto the youth she said, That drove them to the Bell, This shall be yours when you bring back My husband safe and well.
Strana 223 - Fair and softly," John he cried, But John he cried in vain, That trot became a gallop soon In spite of curb and rein.
