Sivu 39 - Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp ; her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright, That birds would sing, and think it were not night.
Sivu 24 - If I may trust the flattery of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand ; My bosom's lord sits lightly on his throne, And all this day an unaccustom'd spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
Sivu 42 - Vauxhall galas, running tailors. Money to lend, and puffs without end ! Oh! the pleasures of reading are all smoke and vapour, Unless 'tis of reading a daily newspaper, That from first to the last, Is truly a mental repast.
Sivu 12 - Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked, or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee, Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane: O, answer me: Let me not burst in ignorance!
Sivu 26 - Mistress' trophy, take The toy, when next a lance you break ;" He, to the Tournay rode away, And bore off Glory's wreath that day. How did his ardent bosom beat, When, hastening to that lady's feet, The ring and wreath he proudly laid !
Sivu 12 - that it should come to this; scarce three weeks dead ! nay, not three weeks !" — " thank you, good sir, I owe you one" — " choice fruit and a bill of the play" — he poisons him in the garden for his estate...
Sivu 41 - tis of reading the daily newspaper ; Oh, ye gods, how I like, as I sip down my tea, The -Chronicle, Times, Poit, or Herald to see ! As the eye roves along, What a various throng Of articles, charm and delight you ; While to vary the scene, Betwixt and between, Comes a terrible bit to affright you ! How affairs they maintain, In France 1 Italy ! Spain ! In Germany ! Austria...
Sivu 12 - I'll enact. I'll in Oronooko smoke 'em, In Whimsiculo I'll joke 'em In Sir Giles Over-reach 'em each night, In King Lear I'll rant and rave, Look so black in Morton's Slave ; I'll the whole house with terror turn white. Then in Romeo I'll love, And in Rover nightly rove ; A rum duke prove when in the Honeymoon ; In Riches I'll get rich, III Macbeth the folks buwitch ; And hum 'em in Macheath to some tune. (spoken) " I am thy father's ghost ! doomed for a certain time...
Sivu 42 - Popping em oowr, ;ust like pigeons, Tis caught in our turn, Our whiskers they burn, Then skewer us up like widgeons ; Lots of new bubbles, To end all your troubles. And get a great fortune for nothing ; A scheme that, slap dash. Will employ all your cash, Which is surely a thing monstrous soothing. Hummery, flummery, Summary, mummery, Scribble 'em, quibble 'em. Hoaxing 'em, coaxing 'em, Cooking 'em, booking 'em, Stuffing 'em, puffing em, Wake em, take 'em, Lugging in, tugging in, Whimsical, flimsical,...
