Sivu 205 - In the worst inn's worst room, with mat half-hung, The floors of plaster, and the walls of dung, On once a flock-bed, but repair'd with straw, With tape-tied curtains, never meant to draw, The George and Garter dangling from that bed Where tawdry yellow strove with dirty red, Great Villiers lies — alas!
Sivu 25 - ... his humanity, courtesy and affability was such, that he would have been thought to have been bred in the best courts, but that his good nature, charity and delight in doing good, and in communicating all he knew, exceeded that breeding.
Sivu 301 - From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night, The hum of either army stilly sounds, That the fix'd sentinels almost receive The secret whispers of each other's watch...

Sivu 112 - ... double of that by the water ; for the image of the object, though not at all refracted, was yet as much infected with prifmatic colours, as if it had been feen through n glafs wedge only, whofe refracting angle was near thirty degrees.
Sivu 188 - Twas from the bottle King deriv'd his wit, Drank till he could not talk, and then he writ.
