Стр. 99 - Dean Willmott's mental life was spent In Arabic and architecture : On both of these most eloquent — It was a treat to hear him lecture. His dinners were exceeding fine, His quiet jests extremely witty : He kept the very best port wine In that superb cathedral city. But...

Dean Willmott's was a pleasant place, Close under the cathedral shadows ; Old elm-trees lent it antique grace ; A river wandered through the meadows.
Стр. 100 - Heigho ! the daughter of the Dean ! Beneath those elm-trees apostolic, While autumn sunlight danced between, We two had many a merry frolic. Sweet Sybil Willmott ! long ago To your young heart was Love a visitor : And often have I wished to know How you could marry a solicitor.
Стр. 18 - re wrong. — He was the mildest manner'd man That ever scuttled ship or cut a throat ; With such true breeding of a gentleman, You never could divine his real thought ; No courtier could, and scarcely woman can Gird more deceit within a petticoat : Pity he loved adventurous life's variety, He was so great a loss to good society.
