Sivu 249 - Then came the Autumn all in yellow clad As though he joyed in his plenteous store, Laden with fruits that made him laugh, full glad That he had...

The more aged men, the fathers of the players, and the wealthy citizens, come on horseback to see the contests of the young men, with whom, after their manner, they participate, their natural heat seeming to be aroused by the sight of so much agility, and by their participation in the amusements of unrestrained youth. Every Sunday in Lent,...
Sivu 256 - Another pair had been used for a similar purpose near Newcastle, in the county of Wicklow, until they were decomposed by the action of the weather. There is also a specimen in Charlemont House, the town residence of the...
Sivu 336 - After dinner, all the young men of the city go out into the fields to play at the well-known game of foot-ball. The scholars belonging to the several schools have each their ball; and the city tradesmen, aecording to their respeetive erafts, have theirs.
