Perchance my dog will whine in vain, Till fed by stranger hands ; But long ere I come back again He'd tear me where he stands.

O, when shall I visit the land of my birth ? — 'Tis the loveliest land...
第 101 頁 - O, when shall I visit the land of my birth, The loveliest land on the face of the earth ! When shall I those scenes of affection explore, Our forests, oar fountains, Our hamlets, our mountains, With the pride of our mountains, the maid I adore 1

第 138 頁 - I'll serve this Duke : for I can sing And speak to him in many sorts of music.
第 121 頁 - ... Hebrides. His fare seemed to him very, very dull, and when at Christmas he had to hand round the plum pudding temptation was too much for him. ' On my removing the brown earthen vessel containing the spare pudding, on the first day in question ', he recalled in after years (without any contrition), ' contrary to my usual custom of setting it down on the sideboard, I walked out of the room and down stairs with it. My young master, who had his eye upon me, took the alarm, and followed. To make...

His fare seemed to him very, very dull, and when at Christmas he had to hand round the plum pudding temptation was too much for him. ' On my removing the brown earthen vessel containing the spare pudding, on the first day in question...
