Страница 79 - It aids the dancer's heel, the writer's head, And heaps the plain with mountains of the dead ; Nor ends with life ; but nods in sable plumes, Adorns our hearse, and flatters on our tombs.
Страница 112 - But after seven years' dance, from place to place The 'Dane is more familiar with his grace. Who'd be a crutch to prop a rotten peer ; Or living pendant dangling at his ear, For ever whisp'ring secrets, which were blown For months before, by trumpets, thro...

Страница 79 - Some go to church, proud humbly to repent, And come back much more guilty than they went : One way they look, another way they steer, Pray to the gods, but would have mortals hear ; And when their sins they set sincerely down, They'll find that their religion has been one.
Страница 119 - But if, by chance, an ill-adapted word Drops from the lip of her unwary lord, Her darling china, in a whirlwind sent, Just intimates the lady's discontent.
