Strona 560 - Here is a hole in the side two ells across, the sail split through the centre, and the wood as bare as a friar's polL In good sooth, I know not what I shall say to Master Witherton when I see the Itchen once more.
Strona 134 - What of the men? The men were bred in England: The bowmen — the yeomen — The lads of dale and fell. Here's to you — and to you! To the hearts that are true And the land where the true hearts dwell.
