Trang 141 - And lock from vulgar hands in the scrutoire. Mechanics, servants, farmers, and so forth, Are copy paper of inferior worth; Less priz'd, more useful, for your desk decreed, Free to all pens, and prompt at ev'ry need. The wretch, whom av'rice bids to pinch and spare...
Trang 204 - As he look'd there came a man from his farm, He had a countenance white with alarm. " My Lord, I open'd your granaries this morn, And the Rats had eaten all your corn.
Trang 185 - Begg'd but a look, tho', through the gate. St. Peter, rather off his guard, Unwilling to be thought too hard, Opens the gate to let him peep in. What did the lawyer? Did he creep in? Or dash at once to take possession...
