Էջ 11 - prentice to a brewer, Where this and more it did endure, But left the trade, as many more Have lately done on the same score. In th' holsters, at his saddle-bow, Two aged pistols he did stow, Aniong the surplus of such meat As in his hose he could not get : ' These would inveigle rats with th...
Էջ 31 - Free-will they one way disavow, Another, nothing else allow. All piety consists therein In them, in other men all sin.
Էջ 244 - Where joy, heart's ease, and comforts grow, You'd scorn proud towers, And seek them in these bowers, Where winds sometimes our woods perhaps may shake, But blustering care could never tempest make, Nor murmurs e'er come nigh us, Saving of fountains that glide by us.
