448 ページ - When dice will run the contrary way, As well is known to all who play, And cards will conspire as in treason, And what with keeping a hunting-box, Following fox, Friends in flocks, Burgundies, hocks, From London Docks, Stultz's frocks...
64 ページ - He is so nice in this particular, that a gentleman having made him a present of a very fine hound the other day, the knight returned it by the servant with a great many expressions of civility; but desired him to tell his master that the dog he had sent was indeed a most excellent bass, but that at present he only wanted a counter-tenor. Could I believe my friend had ever read Shakespeare, I should certainly conclude he had taken the hint from Theseus in the Midsummer Night's Dream...
29 ページ - Does he ?" said the captain ;'' then here goes, life for life,'' and immediately charged him. The fellow aimed a desperate blow at his head with a very heavy stick, which, in spite of the velvet cap, would have felled him to the ground if he had not had the good fortune to...
