Seite 142 - Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander every where, Swifter than the moon's sphere; And I serve the fairy queen, To dew her orbs upon the green. The cowslips tall her pensioners be: In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies, fairy favours, In those freckles live their savours: I must go seek some dew-drops here, And hnng a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
Seite 201 - I seized the vermin, home I quickly sped, And on the hearth the milk-white embers spread. Slow crawl'd the snail, and, if I right can spell In the soft ashes mark'da curious L; Oh, may this wondrous omen lucky prove! For L is found in Lubberkin and Love.
Seite 197 - If thou be one whose heart the holy forms Of young imagination have kept pure, Stranger ! henceforth be warned ; and know that pride, Howe'er disguised in its own majesty, Is littleness ; that he who feels contempt For any living thing hath faculties Which he has never used, that thought with him Is in its infancy.

Seite 35 - Lift your boughs of vervain blue, Dipt in cold September dew ; And dash the moisture chaste, and clear, O'er the ground, and through the air, Now the place is purg'd and pure.
Seite 142 - Mid creeping moss and ivy's darker green : How much thy presence beautifies the ground ! How sweet thy modest, unaffected pride Glows on the sunny bank and wood's warm side ! And where thy fairy flowers in groups are found The schoolboy roams enchantedly along, Plucking the fairest with a rude delight ; While the meek shepherd stops his simple song, To gaze a moment on the pleasing sight : O'erjoyed to see the flowers that truly bring The welcome news of sweet returning Spring.

It would be best nobody should know it but yourself, and I should imagine six or eight boiled in a quart of water strained off and put into a bottle, would be a good way, adding a spoonful or *wo of that to every liquid she takes.
