Sayfa 120 - Brignall banks are fresh and fair, And Greta woods are green; I'd rather rove with Edmund there, Than reign our English queen.' 'If, maiden, thou wouldst wend with me, To leave both tower and town, Thou first must guess what life lead we, That dwell by dale and down. And if thou canst that riddle read, As read full well you may, Then to the greenwood shalt thou speed, As blithe as Queen of May.
Sayfa 137 - A weary lot is thine, fair maid, A weary lot is thine ! To pull the thorn thy brow to braid, And press the rue for wine ! A lightsome eye, a soldier's mien, A feather of the blue, A doublet of the Lincoln green, — No more of me you knew, My love ! No more of me yon knew.
Sayfa 141 - Allen-a-Dale has red gold for the winning. . Come, read me my riddle! come, hearken my tale ! And tell me the craft of bold Allen-a-Dale.

Sayfa 121 - tis at peep of light; His blast is heard at merry morn, And mine at dead of night.
Sayfa 222 - I have looked and loved my last ! When villagers my shroud bestrew With pansies, rosemary, and rue, — Then, l/ady, weave a wreath for me, And weave it of the cypress-tree.
Sayfa 96 - The falcon, poised on soaring wing, Watches the wild-duck by the spring; The slow-hound wakes the fox's lair; The greyhound presses on the hare ; The eagle pounces on the lamb ; The wolf devours the fleecy dam ; Even tiger fell, and sullen bear, Their likeness and their lineage spare ; — Man, only, mars kind Nature's plan, And turns the fierce pursuit on man ; Plying war's desultory trade, Incursion, flight, and ambuscade, Since Nimrod, Gush's mighty son, At first the bloody game begun.
Sayfa lx - ... in waste places far from danger of law, maketh his mantle his house, and under it covereth himself from the wrath of heaven...
