Страница 240 - Here lies Fred, Who was alive, and is dead. Had it been his father, I had much rather. Had it been his brother, Still better than another. Had it been his sister, No one would have missed her. Had it been the whole generation, Still better for the nation. But since 'tis only Fred, Who was alive, and is dead, There's no more to be said.
Страница 562 - If she be not fair for me, what care I how fair she be ? " But he did care, and he told himself that the song did him no good.
Страница 253 - Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven! oh! times, In which the meagre stale forbidding ways Of custom, law, and statute, took at once The attraction of a country in Romance!

Страница 243 - The Queen was in white and silver ; an endless mantle of violetcoloured velvet, lined with ermine, and attempted to be fastened on her shoulder by a bunch of large pearls, dragged itself and almost the rest of her clothes halfway down her waist.
Страница 252 - When France in wrath her giant-limbs upreared, And with that oath, which smote air, earth, and sea, Stamped her strong foot and said she would be free, Bear witness for me, how I hoped and feared!
Страница 246 - The instant the Queen's canopy entered, fire was given to all the lustres at once by trains of prepared flax that reached from one to the other. To me it seemed an interval of not half a minute before the whole was in a blaze of splendour.
