第 120 頁 - Alas! regardless of their doom The little victims play; No sense have they of ills to come Nor care beyond to-day: Yet see how all around 'em wait The ministers of human fate And black Misfortune's baleful train!

第 40 頁 - I washed it, but unluckily, in endeavoring to clean the inside from the remains of the scarlet powder, I poured hot water into , it, and immediately I heard a simmering noise, and my vase, in a few instants, burst asunder with a loud explosion.
