第 56 頁 - Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

第 33 頁 - Oh, the roast beef of old England, And oh the old English roast beef!
第 173 頁 - The spacious streets are exceedingly smooth and level, Each being crossed by others at intervals : On either side perambulate men and women, In the centre career along the carriages and horses : The mingled sound of voices is heard in the shops at evening; During winter the heaped-up snows adhere to the pathway : Lamps are displayed at night along the street sides, Whose radiance twinkles like the stars of the sky.
