(The marks of a lover). "A lean cheek, which you have not, a blue eye and sunken, which you have not, an unquestionable spirit, which you have not, a beard neglected, which you have not."

"By this good light, this is a very shallow monster! I afeared of him! A very weak monster! The man i' the moon! A most poor credulous monster!"

"I was never curst;

I am a right maid for my cowardice;
I have no gift at all in shrewishness;
Let her not strike me."

"O I have bought the mansion of a love,
But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold,
Not yet enjoy'd so tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival

To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them."

"Have you not love enough to bear with me,

When that rash humour which my mother gave me

Makes me forgetful."

"Anon, as patient as the female dove

His silence will sit drooping.'

"There's magic in the web of it:

When that her golden couplets are disclosed

(j).

A sibyl, that had numbered in the world

The sun to course two hundred compasses,

In her prophetic fury sew'd the work."

"O name him not; let us not break with him;
For he will never follow anything

That other men begin."

"Tis but thy name that is my enemy

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague."

"A grave? O, no a lantern, slaughter'd youth;
For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence full of light.
Death lie thou there, by a dead man interr'd."

In favour's like the work we have in hand."

Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
To his own scandal."

"My face so thin

That in mine ear I durst not stick a rose

Lest men should say, Look where three-farthings goes."

"Like that self-begotten bird

In the Arabian woods embost."

Hermione and Cadmus."

Himself a muse."

"The winds with wonder whist,
Smoothly the waters kist

Whispering new joys to the mild ocean

Which now hath quite forgot to rave,

While birds of calm sit brooding on the charmèd wave."

"Thou art to me but as a wave

Of the wild sea; and I would have

Some claim upon thee if I could,

Though but of common neighbourhood."

"Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home."

"Come, but keep thy wonted state,
With even step, and musing gait,
And looks commercing with the skies,
Thy rapt soul sitting in thine eyes."

[ocr errors]

'Night, and all her sickly dews,

Her spectres wan, and birds of boding cry

He gives to range the dreary sky:

Till down the eastern cliffs afar,

Hyperion's march they spy, and glittering shafts of war."

"The muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair;

Blest Isle, with matchless beauty crown'd,
And manly hearts to guard the fair."

"Must we but weep o'er days more blest

Must we but blush? Our fathers bled.
Earth render back from out thy breast
A remnant of our Spartan dead."

"What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
Of Attic taste, with wine, whence we may rise
To hear the lute well touched, or artful voice
Warble immortal notes and Tuscan air?"

"But I knaw'd a Quaäker feller as often 'as towd ma this:
'Doänt thou marry for munny, but goä wheer munny is

"Ah great and gentle lord

Who wast, as is the conscience of a saint

Among his warring senses, to thy knights."

"Duly there they bathed and daily, the twain or the trio, Where in the morning was custom, where over a ledge of granite.

666

Into a granite bason the amber torrent descended."

Dust and ashes!' So you creak it, and I want the heart to scold.

Dear dead women, with such hair too-what's become of all the gold

Used to hang and brush their bosoms? I feel chilly and grown old."

"To have savyde thy lyffe I wold have pertyd with

My landes for years thre,

For a better man of hart, nare of hande

Was not in all the north countrè."
"Humid the air! leafless, yet soft as spring,

The tender purple spray on copse and briers!
And that sweet city with her dreaming spires,
She needs not June for beauty's heightening."
"A little child, too, who not long had been
By mother's finger steadied on his feet,
And still O bella libertà he sang."

EXAMINATION FOR LLOYD EXHIBITION.

MR. M. ROBERTS.

1. Find the product of the squares of the differences of the nth roots of unity.

2. Let a, ẞ, y be the roots of

x3 — px2 + qx − r = 0,

and let stand for the discriminant 27r2 +493 – 18pqr + 4p3r — p2q2 i

▲ (1+m+ m2)3 + (p2 − 39)3 (m + m2)2 = 0.

1. Enumerate and explain the different corrections to be made in determining the true from the observed Right Ascension of a heavenly body.

2. When the error in level for a transit instrument is known, show that its azimuthal deviation can be found by observation of the times of transit of two known stars. What stars are best suited for this method?

3. State and explain Ward's hypothesis respecting planetary motion; and show that it is accurate to the second power in the eccentricity of

the orbit.

4. Find the expressions for the aberration in right ascension and declination of a fixed star.

5. Find the value of the coefficient of diurnal aberration which is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis.

6. Show that the time at a given place can be found by observation of the altitude of a known star, and give a formula suitable for logarithmic computation.

Show that it is advisable to take a star as near as possible to the prime vertical at the time of observation.

7. Find the effects of precession and nutation on the right ascension and declination of a star.

8. Determine the time of describing any arc of a parabola in terms of its chord and the focal distances of its extremities.

9. Explain the construction of the Newtonian Telescope, and determine the proper dimensions of its plane-reflecting speculum.

10. In reflexion at a spherical surface, prove that the radius of the least circle of aberration is one-fourth the lateral aberration of the extreme ray.

II. How are the colours of natural bodies explained? Point out the cause of the difference of colour of the same substance according as the light is reflected or transmitted through it.

12. Explain the construction of Ramsden's eye-piece, and point out its advantages.

1. A rigid body, bounded by a smooth spherical surface in frictionless contact with three fixed planes, is held in equilibrium by a single force; given all particulars, required the conditions of its equilibrium, and its pressures on the planes.

2. The extremities of a rigid bar, acted on by gravity, rest against the inner circumference of a uniformly rough circle in a vertical plane; given all particulars, construct geometrically its extreme positions of equilibrium.

3. A flexible cord of uniform thickness and material, whose extremities are attached to two fixed points, assumes in free equilibrium the form of an arc of a parabola under the action of a central repulsive force emanating from the focus of the curve; required the law of force.

4. A circular cylinder of uniform density floats in a vessel of water revolving round a vertical axis with which its own coincides; given all particulars, required the depth to which its surface will sink in the water.

5. The interior of a homogeneous shell, bounded by two non-concentric spherical surfaces, and attracting according to the ordinary law of nature, is partially filled with homogeneous fluid which revolves with it round the line passing through the centres of the two spheres; given all particulars, required the form of the free surface of the fluid.

6. All other particulars in the preceding remaining unchanged, if the fluid be supposed to fill the interior completely; calculate, in terms of the given particulars, its entire pressure on the inner surface of the shell.
