The Rock, like something starting from a sleep, Took up the lady's voice, and laughed again ; That ancient woman seated on Helm-crag Was ready with her cavern ; Hammar-scar, And the tall steep of Silver-how, sent forth A noise of laughter ; southern Loughrigg heard, And Fairfield answered with a mountain tone ; Helvellyn far into the clear blue sky Carried the lady's voice ; old...
第 96 頁 - Ten minutes to ten by Saint Dunstan's clock, And the owl has awakened the crowing cock ; Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cock-a-doodle-doo, If he crows at this rate in so thrilling a note, Jesu Maria ! he'll catch a sore throat. " Warren the manufacturer rich Hath a spectral mastiff bitch ; To Saint Dunstan's clock, tho...
第 94 頁 - Phenomena of Dreams, is of opinion that the lens or focus of intestinal light ascending the oesophagus at right angles, a juxtaposition of properties takes place, so that the nucleus of the diaphragm reflecting on the cerebellum the prismatic visions of the pilorus, is made to produce that marvellous operation of mind upon matter better known by the name of dreaming.

Something too much of this ; but now 'tis past, And Fleet -street spreads her busy vale below : Lo ! proud ambitious gutters hurry past, To rival Thames in full continuous flow ^ The Inner Temple claims attention now, That Golgotha of thick and thread-bare skulls, Where modest merit pines in chambers low, And impudence...

第 102 頁 - Answered the Warren, with choleric eye, " Oh, king of the cock-tailed incubi ! The sneer of a fiend to your puffs you may fix, But if, what is worse, you assert that your Styx Surpasses my blacking, ('twas clear he was vexed), By Jove ! you will ne'er stick at any thing next. I have dandies who laud me at Paine's and Almack's, Despite Day and Martin, those emulous quacks, And they all in one spirit of concord agree, That my blacking is better than any black sea Which flows thro" your paltry Avernus,...
第 9 頁 - ... which he has now reached, and in every successive change have seen, with inexpressible delight, his reputation and the wishes of the public precede his advancement. His piety, his learning, his conscientious discharge of his sacred duties, his unwearied zeal to promote the interests of all around him, will be the theme of other times and other pens : it is sufficient for my happiness to have witnessed at the close of a career, prolonged by Infinite Goodness far beyond my expectations, the friend...
第 188 頁 - I retire from the field, conscious that there remains behind not only a large harvest, but labourers capable of gathering it in. More than one writer has of late displayed talents of this description ; and if the present author, himself a phantom, may be permitted to distinguish a brother, or perhaps a sister shadow, he would mention, in particular, the author of the very lively work entitled Marriage, APPENDIX.
第 48 頁 - Noted for talent and skill, and the cardinal virtues of manhood Receive this tribute of praise from one whose applause is an honour, I am he who sang of Roderick, the last of the Goths, and Gothic enough it was, I'm told, in metre and meaning ; Thalaba too was mine, that wild and wondrous effusion, Madoc and Joan of Arc, and the splendid curse of Kehama ; If I then, the author of these and other miraculous volumes, And a laurell'd bard to boot, laud thee, oh my Warren, in epic Verse, both peasant...
