How goes the clock? Oh, here is Nick Alwyn's new horologe. They must soon have passed into common use, for Chaucer thus familiarly speaks of them: The more the pity! our red-faced yeomen, alas, are fast sinking into lank-jawed mechanics! We shall find the king in his garden within the next half-hour. Thou shalt attend me."
She is at this time in her 89th year, with all the powers of a fine understanding still unimpaired. I am informed another very ingenious lady, Mrs. And many other flowers close and open their petals at certain hours of the day; and thus constitute what Linneus calls the Horologe, or Watch of Flora.
