Pàgina 46 - THE EAGLE. Art thou the king of birds, proud eagle, say ? — I am ; my talons and my beak bear sway ; A greater king than I, if thou wouldst be, Govern thy tongue, but let thy thoughts be free.

They are a pretty numerous clan, and I shall endeavour to give you such a description of them as may enable you to decline their visits; especially as, though many of them are extremely unlike in feature and temper, and, indeed, very distantly related, yet they...
Pàgina 3 - ... cut, and curtains set on fire continually. It is true miss soon laid aside her romping airs and assumed a very demure appearance ; but she was always playing one sly trick or another, and had learned to tell lies, in order to lay it upon the innocent. At length she was discovered in...
Pàgina 6 - ... a very lofty spirit, and had she been married, would certainly have governed her husband ; as it is, she interferes very much in the management of families ; and, as she is very highly connected, she has as much influence in the fashionable world as amongst the lower orders. She even interferes in political concerns, and I have heard it whispered that there is scarcely a cabinet in Europe where she has not some share in the direction of affairs. Miss Hap and Miss Chance. These are twin sisters,...
Pàgina 44 - THE WOODPECKER. Rap, rap, rap, rap, I hear thy knocking bill, Then thy strange outcry, when the woods are still. — Thus am I ever labouring for my bread, And thus give thanks to find my table spread.
