Strona 346 - Squire's lady or the vicar's wife are perhaps the only females that are stared at for their finery: but in the...
Strona 69 - The corners of the room full of the best chose hunting and hawking poles ; an oyster table at the lower end, which was of constant use twice a day all the year round, for he never failed to eat oysters before dinner and supper through all seasons: the neighbouring town of Poole supplied him with them.
Strona 80 - Anon comes Pyramus, sweet youth and tall, And finds his trusty Thisby's mantle slain ; Whereat, with blade, with bloody blameful blade, He bravely broached his boiling bloody breast; And Thisby, tarrying in mulberry shade, His dagger drew, and died.
