Popular passages
Page 403 - Let me play the fool : With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come, And let my liver rather heat with wine Than my heart cool with mortifying groans. Why should a man, whose blood is warm within, Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster?
Page 114 - And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly ; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Page 443 - Be it a weakness, it deserves some praise, We love the play-place of our early days. The scene is touching, and the heart is stone That feels not at that sight, and feels at none.
Page 442 - The practice of boxing has often been a subject of discussion in this country. I must say that it seems to me a practice that may very advantageously be encouraged to a limited extent.

Page 468 - Gold Cup, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, 10 ft., and 5 only if declared...
Page 367 - If not taken out foi six months, they are perfectly steady, which is a quality rarely to be met with. Every sportsman must know, that the fewer dogs he can do his work with properly, the better; for if they are in condition, they cannot be too frequently hunted ; and their tempers, style of working, &c., become more familiar to him. On this the whole comfort of shooting depends. Upon these grounds I contend that, for all kinds of shooting therefore there is nothing equal to the Russian, or half-bred...
Page 358 - Let not the people, therefore, listen to those who are the constant enemies of all public joys ; let them be assured that the object of the peaceful festival is to give to all ranks and orders a grateful occasion to indulge in that full...
Page 253 - Emily, A ship is floating in the harbour now, A wind is hovering o'er the mountain's brow; There is a path on the sea's azure floor, No keel has ever ploughed that path before...
