8 We have fought such a fight for a day and a night

As may never be fought again,

We have won great glory, my men!

9 In Tartary I freed the Cham,

Last June, from his huge swarms of gnats.

10 I never knew a better man, nor one to me more lovable; we shall all feel his loss more greatly as time goes on.

11 This is the system upon which I have governed myself many years, and so I will go on till I have done. 12 I've lived since then, in calm and strife,

Full many a summer a sailor's life.

13 When in the world I lived, I was the world's commander.

14 My tea is nearly ready, and the sun has left the sky. 15 'Tis not an hour since I left him.

16 Kamal is out with twenty men to raise the border

side,

And he has lifted the Colonel's mare that is the

Colonel's pride.

17 What has happened since I wrote a year ago? 18 Three generations of readers have succeeded those who first read and praised "Vanity Fair."

19 With a five and twenty years' experience since those happy days of which I write, I think I have never seen a society more simple, charitable, courteous, and gentlemanlike than that of the dear little Saxon city where the good Schiller and the great Goethe lived and lie buried.

20 "I have been an unconscionable time in dying," said Charles II on his death-bed.

21 Late, my grandson! half the morning have I paced the sandy tracts,

Watched again the hollow ridges roaring into cataracts.

22 I, that loathed, have come to love him.

23 Ye say they all have passed away,

That noble race and brave.

24 But time at length has made us all of one opinion, and we have all opened our eyes on the true nature of the American war.

25 I know the way she went

Home with her maiden posy,

For her feet have touch'd the meadows,

And left the daisies rosy.

26 All day thy wings have fann'd,

At that far height, the cold, thin atmosphere. 27 All day within the dreamy house,

The doors upon their hinges creak'd.

28 I am my master's faithful old gold pen,

I've served him three long years and drawn since

then

Thousands of funny women and droll men.

29 The wretched parents all that night

Went shouting far and wide.

30 They have left unstained what there they found— Freedom to worship God!

40. The following points with regard to the Conjugation of Verbs require special notice:

Note 1: The Conjugation of a verb in any one Person throughout its moods and tenses is sometimes called a Synopsis.

Note 2: The Progressive Passive formed of the verb to be and the Present Passive Participle is found in the

Present and the Past Indicative: as, "The portrait is being painted"; "The portrait was being painted."

Note 3: The Emphatic Form using do (did) as an Auxiliary is found in the Present and Past Indicative, and in the Imperative: "I do write"; "I did write"; "Do write."

Note 4: The Interrogative Form for the Present and Past Indicative Active uses do (did) as an Auxiliary; in all other tenses it is obtained by placing the subject after the first Auxiliary: "Does he write?"; "Did he write?"; "Will he write?"

Note 5: The Negative Form prefixes the Auxiliary do (did) to the word not in the Present and Past Indicative (Active) and in all other tenses simply inserts the word not: "I do not walk"; "I did not walk”; “I will not walk."

Note 6: Verbs used only in the Third Person Singular with the neuter pronoun as subject are called Impersonal Verbs. They usually refer to natural phenomena: "It rains"; " It will snow."
