Page 5 - H' had hard words ready to show why, And tell what rules he did it by ; Else when with greatest art he spoke, You'd think he talk'd like other folk ; For all a rhetorician's rules Teach nothing but to name his tools.

Page 15 - Beyond the infliction of a witch ; So cheats to play with those still aim That do not understand the game. Love in your heart as idly burns As fire in antique Roman urns, To warm the dead, and vainly light Those only that see nothing by't.
Page 15 - Through they were lin'd with many a piece Of ammunition bread and cheese, And fat black-puddings, proper food For warriors that delight in blood : For, as we said, he always chose To carry vittle in his hose, That often tempted rats and mice The ammunition to surprise : And when he put a hand but in The one or t...
