Pàgina 52 - hill, or Malvernes hill, are but mole-hills in comparison, or like a liver, or a gizard under a capon's wing, in respect of the altitude of their tops, or perpendicularitie of their bottomes. There I saw mount Benawne
Pàgina 142 - adventurous pace, Six miles its top points gradual from the base. Up the high rise with panting haste I pass'd And gained the long laborious steep at last. More prudent thou, when once you pass the deep, With measured pace, and slow, ascend the
Pàgina 54 - variety, but gloomy spaces, different rocks, heath, and high and low . . . the whole of a dismal gloomy brown, drawing upon a dirty purple, and most of all disagreeable when the heather is in bloom.
