Side 34 - With the swift pilgrim's daubed nest; The groves already did rejoice In Philomel's triumphing voice, The showers were short, the weather mild. The morning fresh, the evening smiled.
Side 33 - Fresh juice did stir th' embracing vines ; And birds had drawn their valentines. The jealous trout, that low did lie, Rose at a well-dissembled fly ; There stood my Friend, with patient skill, Attending of his trembling quill.
Side 85 - Dear stream! dear bank, where often I Have sate, and pleas'd my pensive eye, Why, since each drop of thy quick store Runs thither, whence it flow's before, Should poor souls fear a shade or night, Who came (sure) from a sea of light?
Side 126 - And nearer to the river's trembling edge, There grew broad flag-flowers, purple prankt with white. And starry river buds among the sedge. And floating water-lilies, broad and bright, Which lit the oak that overhung the hedge With moonlight beams of their own watery light ; And bulrushes, and reeds of sucli deep green As soothed the dazzled eye with sober sheen.

Enjoy thy stream, O harmless fish ; And when an angler for his dish, Through gluttony's vile sin, Attempts, a wretch, to pull thee out, God give thee strength, O gentle trout, To pull the raskall in!
Side 205 - The moving Finger writes, and having writ, Moves on ; nor all your piety nor wit Can lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wipe out a word of it.
Side 27 - They say the Lion and the Lizard keep The Courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep: And Bahram, that great Hunter — the Wild Ass Stamps o'er his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.
Side 34 - Where, for some sturdy football swain, Joan strokes a sillabub or twain. The fields and gardens were beset With tulip, crocus, violet ; And now, though late, the modest rose Did more than half a blush disclose. Thus all look'd gay, all full of cheer, To welcome the new liveried year.
