Page 250 - But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill...
Page 179 - Sic vos non vobis nidificatis aves; Sic vos non vobis vellera fertis oves ; Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes; Sic vos non vobis fertis aratra boves.
Page 8 - On Lough Neagh's bank as the fisherman strays, When the clear, cold eve's declining, He sees the round towers of other days, In the wave beneath him shining! Thus shall memory often, in dreams sublime, Catch a glimpse of the days that are over, Thus, sighing, look through the waves of time For the long-faded glories they cover!
Page 156 - Beyond it, blooms the garden that I love. News from the humming city comes to it In sound of funeral or of marriage bells; And, sitting muffled in dark leaves, you hear The windy clanging of the minster clock; Although between it and the garden lies A league of grass, wash'd by a slow broad stream, That, stirr'd with languid pulses of the oar, Waves all its lazy lilies, and creeps on, Barge-laden, to three arches of a bridge Crown'd with the minster-towers.

Page 326 - Beloe, speaking of the edition of 1652, says, "Perhaps there does not exist in the circle of English literature a rarer book than this." He seems to have ignored the former editions — though how this could have been with Lauson's " Augmented " in the title page, is not clear. Pickering, in his " Bibliotheca Piscatoria " (1836) also ignores the second and third editions, but rectifies the omission in some MS.
Page 327 - A DISCOURSE OF THE GENERALL ART OF FISHING, WITH THE ANGLE, OR OTHERWISE, AND OF ALL THE HIDDEN SECRETS BELONGING THEREUNTO. TOGETHER WITH THE CHOYCE ORDERING, BREEDING, AND DYETTING OF THE FIGHTING COCK. BEING A WORKE NEVER IN THAT NATURE HANDLED BY ANY FORMER AUTHOR.
Page 347 - A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire, A winder and barrel, will help thy desire In killing a Pike : but the forked stick, With a slit and a bladder, — and that other fine trick, Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a duck, — Will kill two for one, if you have any luck ; The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile, To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile. When a Pike suns himself, and a-frogging doth go, The two-inched hook is better, I know, Than the ord'nary snaring. But still...
Page 6 - ... levy the said rate, the Board may appoint such officers, and add the amount of any expenses so incurred to the amount to be raised by the next succeeding rate in such liberty, precinct, or place.
