"Ay, that is partly true, too, I fear; and it will not be long before an accursed band of choppers and loggers will be following on their heels, to humble the wilderness which lies so broad and rich on the western banks of the Mississippi, and then the land will be a peopled desert, from the shores of the main sea to the foot of the Rocky Mountains; fill'd with all the abominations and craft of man, and stript of the comforts and loveliness it received from the hands of the Lord!"
John Plaintext, He shall be mighty beef, our English staple; The worthy Alderman, a butter'd dumpling; Yon pair of whisker'd Cornets, ruffs and rees: Their friend the Dandy, a green goose in sippets. And so the hoard is spread at once and fill'd On the same principle Variety.
The fact is that the present tide of prosperity has risen so high that it has overflow' d all barriers, and has fill'd up the back-waters, and establish'd something like an approach to uniform success."
This event suggested the lines beginning, Where are those honours, Ida, once your own, When Probus fill'd your magisterial throne?

The Fifth Day, about Noon, our Foremast came by the board; we broach'd to, and a Sea fill'd us; we were at our Dying Rowls, and every Man gave himself for lost. But in this Danger, which ought to have awakened those unhappy Wretches, to some Care of their future Happiness, the Ship rang with Imprecations, and not a Word was uttered, not back'd with Oaths and Curses.

"They may be thus translated," said I: "God in his head the Muse instill'd, And from his head the world he fill'd." "Thank you, sir," said the old lady. "I never found any one before who could translate them."
