Strona 153 - tis slander, Whose edge is sharper than the sword ; whose tongue Outvenoms all the worms of Nile ; whose breath Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie All corners of the world : kings, queens, and states, Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave This viperous slander enters.
Strona 38 - I fear, too early : for my mind misgives, Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars, Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night's revels...
Strona 94 - 11 ne'er blame my partial fancy : Naething could resist my Nancy! But to see her was to love her, Love but her and love for ever. Had we never loved sae kindly, Had we never loved sae blindly, Never met — or never parted — We had ne'er been broken-hearted. Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest ! Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest I Thine be ilka joy and treasure, Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure...
Strona 133 - Then to advise how war may, best upheld, Move by her two main nerves, iron and gold, In all her equipage; besides, to know Both spiritual power and civil, what each means, What severs each, thou hast learned, which few have done.

" By the mass, no ; but to-night is dark, the moon is down, the stars are clouded, and the wind goes by in heavy puffs and gusts. Hear it even now !"

Strona 55 - Then, riding up to them, he cried out, "Shough! shough!" which made them set down the other foot, and after taking a step or two, they all flew away. Currado then turned to him, and said, "Well, thou lying knave, art thou now convinced that they have two legs?"
