Strana 11 - IT was a Moorish maiden was sitting by a well, And what the maiden thought of, I cannot, cannot tell, When by there rode a valiant knight from the town of Oviedo— Alphonzo Guzman was he hight, the Count of Desparedo.

Strana 31 - I go to- wage to-day." So they went along careering With a loud and martial tramp, Till they neared the Snapping Turtle In the dreary Swindle Swamp. But when Slingsby saw the water, Somewhat pale, I ween, was he. " If I come not back, dear Bryant, Tell...
Strana 181 - Ne'er hostess offer'd juice of grape, Could for her trade wish better sign ; Her looks gave flavor to her wine, And each guest feels it, as he sips, Smack of the ruby of her lips. A smile for all, a welcome glad, — A jovial coaxing way she had ; And, — what was more her fate than blame, — A nine months
Strana 173 - What volleys of sighs are sent from the windows of Holborn, that so comely a youth should be brought to disgrace!— I see him at the tree! The whole circle are in tears! — even butchers weep!— Jack Ketch himself hesitates to perform his duty, and would be glad to lose his fee, by a reprieve.
Strana 69 - I know it now too late; I thought that I without a pang could wed some nobler mate; But no nobler suitor sought me — and he has taken wing, And my heart is gone, and I am left a lone and blighted thing.
Strana 92 - Or to burst all chains of habit, flinging habit's self aside, I shall walk the tangled jungle in mankind's primeval pride; Feeding on the luscious berries and the rich cassava root, Lots of dates, and lots of guavas, clusters of forbidden fruit.
