Стр. 487 - Shalt show us how divine a thing A Woman may be made. Thy thoughts and feelings shall not die, Nor leave thee, when grey hairs are nigh, A melancholy slave ; But an old age serene and bright, And lovely as a Lapland night, Shall lead thee to thy grave.
Стр. 360 - Glory and love to the men of old, Their sons may copy their virtues bold, Courage in heart and sword in hand, Ready to fight or ready to die, for Fatherland!

Across the oval, and fitted into the inside of the framework by mortices, are two battens of wood, 5 or 6 inches clear of both ends.

Стр. 259 - Pluck comes nobly to the fore Gaining he is, more and more, Nerves all braced he dashes on Another spurt, — the race is won. Hearty cheers then rent the air Beaten men admit all fair, Winners from all boasts refrain, Losers say they'll try again. Moralists who disesteem The joys that in snow shoeing teem, Let the moral in our race 259 Perseverance is our word " Giving in" is never heard, Men can't follow in our track, With beer in belly or crime en back.
