Sivu 187 - O fountain Arethuse, and thou honoured flood, Smooth-sliding Mincius, crowned with vocal reeds! That strain I heard was of a higher mood: But now my oat proceeds, And listens to the herald of the sea That came in Neptune's plea; He asked the waves, and asked the felon winds, What hard mishap hath doomed this gentle swain?

Sivu 537 - Hall ; where, in the Duke's chamber, the King came and stayed an hour or two laughing at Sir W. Petty, who was there about his boat ; and at Gresham College in general ; at which poor Petty was, I perceive, at some loss ; but did argue discreetly, and bear the unreasonable follies of the King's objections and other bystanders with great discretion ; and offered to take...
Sivu 535 - He would frequently tell the gentlewoman, his wife, that he should yet be captain of a king's ship; that he should come to have the command of better men than he now accounted himself, and that he would be the owner of a fair brick house in the Green Lane of North Boston, and that it may be, this would not be all that the providence of God would bring him to.
