Página 420 - Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these? Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak , where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought? Whose household words are songs in many keys , Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught! Whose habitations in the tree-tops even Are half-way houses on the road to heaven!
Página 52 - She felt fast-bound, as charity can bind;— Not when the ills of age, its pain, its care, The drooping spirit for its fate prepare; And, each affection failing, leaves the heart Loosed from life's charm, and willing to depart; But all her ties the strong invader broke, In all their strength, by one tremendous stroke!
Página 493 - But, och ! it hardens a' within, And petrifies the feeling! To catch dame Fortune's golden smile, Assiduous wait upon her; And gather gear by ev'ry wile That's justified by honor; Not for to hide it in a hedge, Nor for a train attendant; But for the glorious privilege Of being independent.
Página 316 - You in a vale may buy a veil and Bill may pay the bill. Or if to France your bark you steer, at Dover it may be A peer appears upon the pier, who blind, still goes to sea. Thus, one might say, when, to a treat, good friends accept our greeting, 'Tis meet that men who meet to eat should eat their meat when meeting; Brawn on the board's no bore indeed, although from boar prepared; Nor can the fowl on which we feed, foul feeding be declared.
Página 316 - My little dears, who learn to read, pray early learn to shun That very silly thing indeed which people call a pun : Read Entick's Rules, and 'twill be found how simple an offence It is, to make the selfsame sound afford a double sense.
