Seite 394 - Where be ye going, you Devon Maid ? And what have ye there in the Basket ? Ye tight little fairy just fresh from the dairy, Will ye give me some cream if I ask it ? I love your Meads, and I love your flowers, And I love your junkets mainly, But 'hind the door I love kissing more, O look not so disdainly.
Seite 303 - As for Hazlitt, it is not to be believed how the destruction of Napoleon affected him; he seemed prostrated in mind and body, he walked about unwashed, unshaved, hardly sober by day, and always intoxicated by night, literally, without exaggeration, for weeks; until at length, wakening up as it were from his stupor, he at once left off all stimulating liquors, and never touched them after.
Seite 332 - Ceci s'adresse à vous, esprits du dernier ordre, Qui, n'étant bons à rien, cherchez sur tout à mordre. Vous vous tourmentez vainement. Croyez-vous que vos dents impriment leurs outrages Sur tant de beaux ouvrages ? Ils sont pour vous d'airain, d'acier, de diamant.
