"I have always feared that when the time came for me to be 'my honest self' instead of a 'made-up daisy'" she smiled wearily as she quoted the childish rhyme "Harry would not be big enough to take it well. Of course I could and would stand all his unpleasantness concerning my altered appearance, but the root of his actions goes deeper than that, I am afraid.

He says: "We'll eat and drink, and cheerful take Our portions for the Donor's sake, For thus the Word of Wisdom spake Man can't do better; Nor can we by our labors make The Lord our debtor!" A quaintly characteristic correspondence in rhyme between the Deacon and Parson McGregore, evidently "birds o' ane feather," is still in existence.

That is a tattoo mark of a pail of water you may not know that we have a rhyme in England which begins like this: "Jack and Jill went up a hill To fetch a pail of water!" Oh! shades of ancient Egypt, did you ever hear or see anything so pathetically absurd as Jill as she solemnly repeated the old doggerel.

One face I missed, and rejoiced that she was absent, for I had a degraded feeling like that of being the favourite in a cudgel-bout. And the thought that her name was connected with all this made my face twitch. I heard the people clapping and saw them waving in the carriages as we passed, and some stood forward before the rest in a haphazard way, without rhyme or reason. Mr.

Then do thy office, Muse; I teach thee how To make him seem long hence as he shows now. It is, however, perhaps in the 55th Sonnet that Shakespeare gives to this idea its fullest expression.

And poetry! Lordy, I can't make two lines rhyme. Well, I should worry!" Richard Caramel with difficulty restrained a shout of laughter. Gloria was chewing an amazing gum-drop and staring moodily out the window. Mrs. Gilbert cleared her throat and beamed. "But you see," she said in a sort of universal exposition, "you're not an ancient soul like Richard."

"Did you ever see such a crew as we were at dinner? I reminded Oliver of the rhyme 'The animals went in two by two. It's always the way here. There's no society in this house, because you can't take anything or any one for granted. One must always begin from the beginning. What can I have in common with that man Barton?

Written in the time of the French war. Literally, "the manners." The French word moeurs corresponds best with the German. The epithet in the first edition is ruhmlose.

Badman, though now scarcely read at all, contains a vivid picture of rough English life in the days of Charles II. Bunyan was a poet, too, in the technical sense of the word, and though he disclaimed the name, and though rhyme and metre were to him as Saul's armour to David, the fine quality of his mind still shows itself in the uncongenial accoutrements.
