Page 353 - Will play the cook and servant ; 'tis our match : The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to. Come ; our stomachs Will make what's homely savoury : weariness Can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth Finds the down pillow hard. Now peace be here, Poor house, that keep'st thyself! Gui.

Page 308 - When a lady selects a gentleman from the company, by beckoning, or calling him to take her glass and sip after her, the compliment is then highly enviable ; and whether her lips be pale and shrivelled by the wintry effect of years, or cherry-ripe and pouting in the fragrance of summer, he is bound by the well-understood laws of respect, etiquette, honour, gallantry, love, and all their little jealousies, to imprint his own lips upon the precise spot where those were placed which preceded him, and...
Page 54 - ... developed the object to my view, it is utterly impossible for me to describe ; but the scene was this : — High in the blue crystal vault, and immediately before me, as I rode thoughtlessly along, I perceived a brilliant streak, resembling burnished gold, dazzling to look at, and wonderfully contrasted with the shades of night which still lingered upon the world beneath ; for to us the sun had not yet risen, though the sombre profiles of the cordilleras might be distinctly traced through the...
