Стр. 176 - The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me ; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek ; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound ; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord...
Стр. 89 - Alas ! poor scholar ! whither wilt thou go ? Cambridge, now I must leave thee, And follow fate, College hopes do deceive me ; I oft expected To have been elected, But desert is reprobate. Masters of colleges Have no common graces, And they that have fellowships Have but common places, * Imitated twenty years afterwards by Cleland in his ingenious lyric Hallo my Fancy.
Стр. 89 - In a melancholy study, None but myself, Methought my Muse grew muddy ; After seven years' reading, And costly breeding, I felt, but could find no pelf ; Into learned rags I've rent my plush and satin. And now am fit to beg In Hebrew, Greek and Latin ; Instead of Aristotle, Would I had got a patten. Alas ! poor scholar ! whither wilt thou go...
Стр. 89 - There thou luay'st command, By William Lilly's charter : There thou may'st whip, strip, And hang, and draw, and quarter, And commit to the red rod Both Will, and Tom, and Arthur : Ay, ay, 'tis thither, thither will I go.
Стр. 107 - Into some country Village Now I must go, Where neither tithe nor tillage The greedy patron And parched matron Swear to the Church they owe : Yet if I can preach And pray too on a sudden, And confute the Pope At adventure, without studying, Then — ten pounds a year, — Besides a Sunday pudden. Alas ! poor scholar ! whither wilt thou go? Ships, ships, ships I discover, Crossing the main ; Shall I go in, and go over, Turn Jew or Atheist, Turk or Papist, To Geneva or Amsterdam?
Стр. 191 - I stepped softly in the room I saw her in bed, asleep, with her work not half done, lying about the room in the untidiest way. There was nothing remarkable in that, and I was just going away on tiptoe, when a tiny bottle and wine-glass on the chair by her bedside caught my eye. I thought she was ill and had been taking physic, and looked at the bottle. It was marked in large letters,
Стр. 366 - But now the whole Round Table is dissolved Which was an image of the mighty world; And I, the last, go forth companionless, And the days darken round me, and the years, Among new men, strange faces, other minds.
Стр. 303 - She was coal black, and had thick lips and wavy hair. She was short for her age — fourteen years — but thickset, with powerful limbs. The girl's father told the servants belonging to other officers of the regiment, and the curious whim of Gay's became a topic of conversation. Jehan, the bheestie's daughter, was a virtuous girl, and Francis Gay had never approached her with a view to undermining her virtue. It was no easy matter to persuade her to change her religion ; but, strange to say, he...
Стр. 7 - I never thought it would come to anything ; for it was a precious lazy pace we went at, whenever we were bound for Stonard Abbey (it lies behind us ; about two miles) ; and, when we got there, Mr. George never kept me long a leading the horses about; but back he came very soon, and sprang into the saddle smiling because the visit was over, and always bucketed off back, at a hand gallop. I am sure courting at the Abbey must have been a cold job for him ; for nobody — not even Miss Stonard, that...
Стр. 50 - W. 1856, II, 50 so erklärt: this knife besides being a horse-pick, a tooth-pick, a gimlet, a corkscrew, a punch, a tweezer, a file, a wrench, and a screwdriver, was knobbed at the end with a silver-crown , which made it also a clandestine constable's staff. Derartige Messer sind auch bei uns bekannt genug.
