Страница 106 - There scattered oft, the earliest of the year, By hands unseen, are showers of violets found ; The redbreast loves to build and warble there, And little footsteps lightly print the ground.
Страница 107 - No withered witch shall here be seen, No goblins lead their nightly crew ; The female fays shall haunt the green, And dress thy grave with pearly dew ! The redbreast oft, at evening hours, Shall kindly lend his little aid, With hoary moss, and gathered flowers, To deck the ground where thou art laid.
Страница 143 - I little thought, when first thy rein I slacked upon the banks of Seine, That Highland eagle e'er should feed On thy fleet limbs, my matchless steed ! Woe worth the chase, woe worth the day, That costs thy life, my gallant grey!
Страница 106 - Call for the robin-red-breast and the wren, Since o'er shady groves they hover, And with leaves and flowers do cover The friendless bodies of unburied men. Call unto his funeral dole The ant, the field-mouse, and the mole To rear him hillocks that shall keep him warm And (when gay tombs are robbed) sustain no harm, But keep the wolf far thence that's foe to men, For with his nails he'll dig them up again.
Страница 35 - Full fathom five thy father lies : Of his bones are coral made ; Those are pearls that were his eyes : Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell : Hark ! now I hear them, — Ding, dong, Bell.
Страница 41 - Wi' cauk and keel' I'll win your bread, And spindles and whorles for them wha need, Whilk is a gentle trade indeed, To carry the gaberlunzie on. I'll bow my leg, and crook my knee. And draw a black clout o'er my ee ; A cripple or blind they will ca' me, While we shall be merry and sing.
Страница 76 - If, haply, he the sect pursues That read and comment upon news, He takes up their mysterious face ; He drinks his coffee without lace...
Страница 24 - Indeed, it is a strange-disposed time ; But men may construe things after their fashion, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.
Страница 142 - E'er on it he war'd sic lays. O* a' the ills poor Caledonia E'er yet pree'd, or e'er will taste, Brew'd in hell's black Pandemonia, Whisky's ill will...
Страница 147 - I'd have a foot long, not above, With pimples embroider'd, for those I love; And at the end a comely pearl of snot, Considering whether it should fall or not: Provided, next, that half her teeth be out, Nor do I care much if her pretty snout Meet with her furrow'd chin, and both together Hem in her lips, as dry as good whit-leather: One wall-eye she shall have, for that's a sign In other beasts the best: why not in mine?
