Seite 80 - The sands, it was my unhappy chance to light Upon a face, whose favour when it lived My astonish'd mind inform'd me I had seen. He lay in his armour, as if that had been His coffin; and the weeping sea (like one Whose milder temper doth lament the death Of him whom in his rage he slew) runs up The shore, embraces him, kisses his cheek; Goes back again and forces up the sands To bury him ; and...

Seite 80 - ... him, kisses his cheek ; Goes back again, and forces up the sands To bury him ; and every time it parts, Sheds tears upon him ; till at last, (as if It could no longer endure to see the man Whom it had slain, yet...

Seite 281 - Woodcocks are driven in frosty weather, as is well known, to seek their food in springs and rills of unfrozen water, and I found that my old dogs knew about as well as I did the degree of frost which would drive the woodcocks to such places; and this knowledge proved very troublesome to me, for I could not sufficiently restrain them.
