10 ページ - Imagination fondly stoops to trace The parlour splendours of that festive place; The white-washed wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnished clock that clicked behind the door; The chest contrived a double debt to pay, A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day; The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose...

The mistress sees that lazy Kate The happing coal on kitchen grate Has laid — while master goes throughout, Sees shutters fast, the mastiff out, - The candles safe, the hearths all clear, And nought from thieves or fire to fear ; Then both to bed together creep, And join the general troop of sleep.

158 ページ - ... if she directs her thoughts to pursuits which aspire to serve, and which never fail to elevate. Educating her for the Harem, but calling on her for the practices of the Portico, man expects from his odalisque the firmness of the stoic, and demands from his servant the exercise of those virtues which, placing the elite of his own sex at the head of its muster-roll, give immortality to the master. He tells her "that obscurity is her true glory, insignificance her distinction, ignorance her lot,...
77 ページ - A critic, analysing the poetical character of Milton, says, he has ' sublimity in the highest degree ; beauty in an equal degree ; pathos next to the highest ; perfect character in the conception of Satan, of Adam, and Eve ; fancy, learning, vividness of description, stateliness, decorum. His style is elaborate and powerful, and his versification, with occasional harshness and affectation, superior in variety and harmony to all other blank verse ; it has the effect of a piece of fine music.
27 ページ - THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT This is the farmer sowing his corn, That kept the cock that crowed in the morn, That waked the priest all shaven and shorn, That married the man all tattered and torn, That kissed the maiden all forlorn, That milked the cow with the crumpled horn, That tossed the dog That worried the cat That killed the rat That ate the malt That lay in the house that Jack built.
