Seite 37 - My good sir, a man has no right to do either." But it is to be hoped that the present century has nothing to do with the mouldy opinions of the last; and so, good Sir Launcelot, or...
Seite 112 - to be sure, the gentleman's Muse wears Methodist shoes, you may know by her pace and talk about grace, that she and. her bard have little regard for the taste and fashions, and ruling passions, and...
Seite 277 - But the beauties of the spot are themselves an interruption ; my attention is called upon by those very myrtles, by a double row of grass pinks just beginning to blossom, and by a bed of beans already in bloom ; and you are to consider it, if you please, as no small proof of my regard, that though you have so many powerful rivals, I disengage myself from them all, and devote this hour entirely to you.
