Popularne fragmenty
Strona 232 - WHEN civil dudgeon first grew high, And men fell out, they knew not why ; When hard words, jealousies, and fears, Set folks together by the ears, And made them fight, like mad or drunk, For Dame Religion, as for punk ; VOL.
Strona 123 - When service should in my old limbs lie lame And unregarded age in corners thrown: Take that, and He that doth the ravens feed, Yea, providently caters for the sparrow, Be comfort to my age!
Strona 61 - I'm the chief of Ulva's isle, And this, Lord Ullin's daughter. 'And fast before her father's men Three days we've fled together, For should he find us in the glen, My blood would stain the heather. 'His horsemen hard behind us ride — Should they our steps discover, Then who will cheer my bonny bride When they have slain her lover?

Strona 144 - You may imagine, then,' said the old Caerlaverock peasant, rising at once with the commencement of his story from his native dialect into very passable English — 'you may imagine these ruined walls raised again in their beauty — whitened and covered with a coating of green broom; that garden, now desolate, filled with herbs in their season, and with flowers, hemmed round with a fence of cherry and plum-trees; and the whole possessed by a young fisherman, who won a fair subsistence for his wife...
Strona 133 - In my twentieth year, a cannon-shot carried away my right arm : I received my discharge, and was thrown on the world destitute and hopeless. Ignorant of any trade by which I could gain a livelihood, and rendered incapable of labour by the loss of my arm, I abandoned myself to a profound melancholy, which threw me into a long and severe illness ; when I recovered, my disappointed prospects, and a sort of spite at the world, made me a beggar ; my youth and infirmities gained me more compassion than...
Strona 158 - ... and those who had the hardihood to keep watch on the beach at midnight, had their tales to tell of terrible lights and strange visions. — With one who delighted in the marvellous, the spectre was decked in attributes that made the circle of auditors tighten round the hearth ; while others, who allowed to a ghost only a certain quantity of thin air to clothe itself in, reduced it in their description to a very unpoetic shadow, or a kind of better sort of will-o'-the-wisp, that could for its...
