Σελίδα 132 - Not a tree, A plant, a leaf, a blossom, but contains A folio volume. We may read, and read, And read again, and still find something new, Something to please, and something to instruct, E'en in the noisome weed.
Σελίδα 114 - Then Commerce brought into the public walk The busy merchant; the big warehouse built; Raised the strong crane; choked up the loaded street With foreign plenty; and thy stream, O Thames! Large, gentle, deep, majestic, king of floods! Chose for his grand resort.
Σελίδα 8 - Holdcrness, observing tliis place to be fitly situated for building a Castle on, increased the natural strength of it by a very costly work, having inclosed all the plain upon the rock with a wall, and built a Tower in the entrance.
