A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! b. Richard III. Act V. Sc. 4. L. 7. Give me another horse: bind up my wounds. c. Richard III. Act V. Sc. 3. L. 177. Round-hoofd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long,

Broad breast, full eye, small head and nostril wide,

High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong,

Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide:

Look, what a horse should have he did not lack,

Save a proud rider on so proud a back. d. Venus and Adonis. L. 295.

Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs,

Piercing the night's dull ear.

e. Henry V. Chorus to Act IV. L. 10.

Jackal

The jackal's troop, in gather'd cry,
Bay'd from afar complainingly,
With a mix'd and mournful sound,
Like crying babe, and beaten hound.

Each with their kind, lion with lioness,
So fitly them in pairs thou hast combined.

That harmless, honest, guileless animal,
In what has he offended? he whose toil,
Patient and ever ready, clothes the land
With all the pomp of harvest.

Wouldst thou view the lion's den?

Search afar from haunts of men,

Where the reed-encircled rill,

Oozes from the rocky hill,

Antiquity, what is it else (God only excepted) but man's authority born some ages before us? Now for the truth of things time makes no alteration; things are still the same they are, let the time be past, present, or to come.

Those things which we reverence for antiquity what were they at their first birth? Were they false?-time cannot make them true. Were they true?-time cannot make them more true. The circumstances therefore of time in respect of truth and error is merely impertinent. g.

His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar. p. BURNS-The Twa Dogs. And said to myself, as I lit my cigar, "Supposing a man had the wealth of the Czar Of the Russias to boot, for the rest of his days, On the whole do you think he would have much to spare

If he married a woman with nothing to wear?"

q. But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare, When at the same moment she had on a dress Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less,

WM. ALLEN BUTLER-Nothing to Wear.

And jewelry worth ten times more, I should guess,

That she had not a thing in the wide world to wear!

r.

WM. ALLEN BUTLER-Nothing to Wear. Dresses for breakfasts, and dinners, and balls; Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk in; Dresses to dance in, and flirt in, and talk in, Dresses in which to do nothing at all; Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall ; All of them different in color and shape, Silk, muslin, and lace, velvet, satin, and crape, Brocade and broadcloth, and other material, Quite as expensive and much more ethereal. WM. ALLEN BUTLER-Nothing to Wear.
