第249页 - A phantom ship, with each mast and spar Across the moon like a prison bar, And a huge black hulk, that was magnified By its own reflection in the tide. Meanwhile his friend, through alley and street, Wanders and watches with eager ears, Till in the silence around him he hears The muster of men at the barrack-door, The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet, And the measured tread of the grenadiers Marching down to their boats on the shore.

第139页 - And danc'd round about the oke tree ; " For three merry men, and three merry men, And three merry men we be. "And ever hereafter as long as we live, * We three will be as one ; The wood it shall ring, and the old wife sing, Of Robin Hood, Arthur, and John.
第130页 - Last night, among his fellow roughs, He jested, quaffed, and swore; A drunken private of the Buffs, Who never looked before. To-day, beneath the foeman's frown, He stands in Elgin's place, Ambassador from Britain's crown, And type of all her race.
