Σελίδα 251 - To frame the little animal, provide All the gay hues that wait on female pride : Let nature guide thee : sometimes golden wire The shining bellies of the fly require ; The peacock's plumes thy tackle must not fail, Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail: Each gaudy bird some slender tribute brings, And lends the growing insect proper wings: Silks of all colours must their aid impart, And every fur promote the fisher's art.
Σελίδα 140 - He rolls and wreathes his shining body round ; Then headlong shoots beneath the dashing tide, The trembling fins the boiling wave divide. Now hope exalts the fisher's beating heart, « Now he turns pale, and fears his dubious art ; He views the tumbling fish with longing eyes, While the line stretches with th...
Σελίδα 100 - Fairy Elf! but grant me this, This one kind comfort send, And so may never-fading bliss Thy flowery paths attend ! So may the glow-worm's glimmering light Thy tiny footsteps lead To some new region of delight, Unknown to mortal tread ! And be thy acorn goblet fill'd With heaven's ambrosial dew, From sweetest, freshest flowers distill'd, That shed fresh sweets for you!
Σελίδα 300 - Far in the deep the Sun his glory hides, A streak of gold the sea and sky divides : The purple clouds their amber linings show, And, edg'd with flame, rolls every wave below: Here pensive I behold the fading light, And o'er the distant billow lose my sight. Now Night in silent state begins to rise, And twinkling orbs bestrow th...
Σελίδα 267 - TwiXt resignation and content. Oft in my mind such thoughts awake, By lone Saint Mary's silent lake ; Thou know'st it well, — nor fen, nor sedge, Pollute the pure lake's crystal edge ; Abrupt and sheer, the mountains sink At once upon the level brink ; And just a trace of silver sand Marks where the water meets the land.
Σελίδα 148 - He now, with pleasure, views the gasping prize Gnash his sharp teeth, and roll his blood-shot eyes; Then draws him to the shore, with artful care, And lifts his nostrils in the sickening air : Upon the burthen'd stream he floating lies, Stretches his quivering fins, and gasping dies.
Σελίδα 142 - ... farthest ooze, the sheltering weed, The caverned bank, his old secure abode;* And flies aloft, and flounces round the pool, Indignant of the guile. With yielding hand, That feels him still, yet to his furious course Gives way, you, now retiring, following now Across the stream, exhaust his idle rage ; Till, floating broad upon his breathless side, And to his fate abandoned, to the shore You gaily drag your unresisting prize.
Σελίδα 312 - Lord of earth and air ! O king ! O father ! hear my humble prayer : Dispel this cloud, the light of heaven restore ; Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more: If Greece must perish, we thy will obey, But let us perish in the face of day!
Σελίδα 251 - The peacock's plumes thy tackle must not fail, Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail. Each gaudy bird some slender tribute brings, And lends the growing. insect proper wings : Silks of all colours must their aid impart, And every fur promote the fisher's art. So the gay lady, with expensive care, Borrows the pride of land, of sea, and air ; Furs, pearls, and plumes, the glittering thing displays, Dazzles our eyes, and easy hearts betrays.
Σελίδα 63 - ... Ennis, where there are red and white trouts, and pike also of large size. Flies of the medium size, with red or brown fur bodies, light gold twist, and wings either of partridge and land-rail mixed, or else mallard with a few feathers of the peacock's breast. There is also a very favourite dropper fly, called the rush fly, which has a reddish brown body, with wings of a small land-rail's feather, not stripped off the quill.
