Sayfa 248 - Outstretched, and finely sensible, draws full, Fearful, and cautious, on the latent prey ; As in the sun the circling covey bask Their varied plumes, and, watchful every way, Through the rough stubble turn the secret eye.
Sayfa 364 - I see, men's judgments are A parcel of their fortunes ; and things outward Do draw the inward quality after them, To suffer all alike.
Sayfa 248 - Through the rough stubble turn the secret eye. Caught in the meshy snare, in vain they beat Their idle wings, entangled more and more : Nor on the surges of the boundless air, Though borne triumphant, are they safe ; the gun, Glanced just and sudden from the fowler's eye, O'ertakes their sounding pinions, and again, Immediate, brings them from the towering wing, Dead to the ground ; or drives them, wide dispersed, Wounded, and wheeling various, down the wind.
Sayfa 382 - And oft attempts to seize it, but as oft The dimpled water speaks his jealous fear. At last, while haply o'er the shaded sun Passes a cloud, he desperate takes the death With sullen plunge. At once he darts along...
Sayfa 25 - With selfish care avoid a brother's woe. What shall he do ? His once so vivid nerves, So full of buoyant spirit, now no more Inspire the course ; but fainting breathless toil, Sick, seizes on his heart : he stands at bay ; And puts his last weak refuge in despair. The big round tears run down his dappled face ; He groans in anguish ; while the growling pack, Blood-happy, hang at his fair jutting chest, And mark his beauteous chequered sides with gore.
Sayfa 63 - Ye fieldsmen, look sharp, lest your pains ye beguile, Move close, like an army, in rank and in file; When the ball is returned, back it sure, for I trow Whole states have been ruined by one over-throw.
Sayfa 285 - Royal brother,' returned Richard, 'recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit. He forgets neither friend nor foe, remembers, and with accuracy, both benefit and injury. He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood. You may bribe a soldier to slay a man with his sword, or a witness to take life by false accusation ; but you cannot make a hound tear...
Sayfa 30 - ... heightened and improved by superior feeding ; although there are trout whose flesh is naturally white, and will never alter under any circumstances, while in an edible point of view they are sometimes superior in flavour to those of a deeper tinge. As a general rule, however, red-fleshed trout are the most highly prized, both by the angler and the epicure. It may be safely laid down as a rule, to which there are but few exceptions, that in all waters having a soft and rich bottom, especially...
Sayfa 180 - A little lowly Hermitage it was, Downe in a dale, hard by a forests side, Far from resort of people, that did pas In travell to and froe: a little wyde There was an holy Chappell edifyde, Wherein the Hermite dewly wont to say His holy things each morne and eventyde : Thereby a christall streame did gently play, Which from a sacred fountaine welled forth alway.
Sayfa 255 - Even so it was. From Flodden ridge The Scots beheld the English host Leave Barmore-wood, their evening post, And heedful watched them as they crossed The Till by Twisel bridge.
