الصفحة 259 - Let us hasten — let us fly — Where the lovely meadows lie; Where the living waters flow; Where the roses bloom and blow. Heirs of Immortality, Segregated, safe and pure, Easy, sorrowless, secure; Since our earthly course is run, We behold a brighter sun. Holy lives — a holy vow — Such rewards await them now.

الصفحة 288 - And bring her to a slighter shape by dint of lighter diet : I fed her with plain household phrase, and cool familiar salad, With water-gruel episode, with sentimental jelly, With moral mincemeat ; till at length I brought her into compass ; Cephisophon, who was my cook, contrived to make them relish.
الصفحة 200 - There came a body of thirty thousand cranes (I won't be positive, there might be more) With stones from Africa, in their craws and gizzards, Which the stone-curlews and stone-chatterers Worked into shape and finished.
الصفحة 292 - Musaeus deliver'd the doctrine of medicine, And warnings prophetic for ages to come: Next came old Hesiod, teaching us husbandry, Ploughing, and sowing, and rural affairs, Rural economy, rural astronomy, Homely morality, labour, and thrift: Homer himself, our adorable Homer, What was his title to praise and renown? What, but the worth of the lessons he taught us, Discipline, arms, and equipment of war?
الصفحة 286 - Assist my present search for faults and errors. CHORUS. Here beside you, here are we, Eager all to hear and see This abstruse and mighty battle, Of profound and learned prattle. — But, as it appears to me, Thus the course of it will be ; He, the junior and appellant, Will advance as the assailant. Aiming shrewd satyric darts At his rival's noble parts ; And with sallies sharp and keen Try to wound him in the spleen, While the veteran rends and raises Rifted, rough, uprooted phrases, Wielded like...
الصفحة 256 - Raise the fiery torches high! Bacchus is approaching nigh, Like the planet of the morn, Breaking with the hoary dawn, On the dark solemnity — There they flash upon the sight; All the plain is blazing bright, Flush'd and overflown with light: Age has cast his years away, And the cares of many a day, Sporting to the lively lay — Mighty Bacchus! march and lead (Torch in hand toward the mead) Thy devoted humble Chorus, Mighty Bacchus — move before us!
الصفحة 250 - I wish you hang'd with all my heart. — Have you nothing else to say? 'Brekeke-kesh, koash' all day! Frogs. We've a right, We've a right; And we croak at ye for spite. We've a right, We've a right; Day and night, Day and night; Night and day, Still to creak and croak away. Phoebus and every Grace Admire and approve of the croaking race; And the egregious guttural notes That are gargled and warbled in their lyrical throats. In reproof Of your scorn Mighty Pan Nods his horn ; Beating time To the rime...

And all pull away With a hearty huzza For success to the play ! Send him away, Smiling and gay, Shining and florid, With his bald forehead...
