الصفحة 19 - twas but the wind, Or the car rattling o'er the stony street; On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet But hark!
الصفحة 31 - ... heightened and improved by superior feeding ; although there are trout whose flesh is naturally white, and will never alter under any circumstances, while in an edible point of view they are sometimes superior in flavour to those of a deeper tinge. As a general rule, however, red-fleshed trout are the most highly prized, both by the angler and the epicure. It may be safely laid down as a rule, to which there are but few exceptions, that in all waters having a soft and rich bottom, especially...

الصفحة 184 - Two well-wrought windows lend. Beside the altar rose a tomb, All in the living stone, On which a young and beauteous maid In goodly sculpture shone. A kneeling angel, fairly carved, Leaned hovering o'er her breast ; A weeping warrior at her feet; And near to these her crest.
