We love the old Newfoundland dog, ay, and the old footman, as much as you do, and could hang like you about both their necks; we wish you would not think us too big a boy to "stop" for you at single-wicket; imaginary hoops we trundle in your gleesome train; like you, we have a decided aversion to "taw," considering it not young-gentleman-like; we, too, forgetting that the governess is single and two-and-thirty, wonder on earth what can make governess so cross; we love you, when we see you hand in hand squiring your little sister, saluting your little sister's little friends, carrying their little parasols, and helping them over little stony places, like little gentlemen.
Thee yet Arcadia circles round, A charmed power for thee has set the lists of fairy ground; Each gleesome impulse Nature now can sanction and befriend, Nor to that willing heart as yet the duty and the end. Play, for the haggard labor soon will come to seize its prey. Alas! when duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away!
Come with me to the 'rotboss' there, and I'll show thee all our folk and their lays, and especially 'the lossners, 'the dutzers, 'the schleppers, 'the gickisses, 'the schwanfelders, whom in England we call 'shivering Jemmies, 'the süntregers, 'the schwiegers, 'the joners, 'the sessel-degers, 'the gennscherers, in France 'marcandiers a rifodés, 'the veranerins, 'the stabulers, with a few foreigners like ourselves, such as 'pietres, 'francmitoux, 'polissons, 'malingreux, 'traters, 'rufflers, 'whipjacks, 'dommerars, 'glymmerars, 'jarkmen, 'patricos, 'swadders, 'autem morts, 'walking morts, " "Enow!" cried I, stopping him, "art as gleesome as the evil one a counting of his imps.
The dwelling of Benjamin Younker, as already mentioned, stood at the base of a hill, on the margin of a beautiful valley, and within a hundred feet of a lucid stream, whose waters, finding their source in the neighboring bills, rushed down, all gleesome and sparkling, over a limestone bed, and "From morn till night, from night till morn," sung gentle melodies for all who chose to listen.
Go down to the point below the fort and encamp there for the night. We thank you for your visit, and will return it in the morning. Good-night." On this being translated, the Esquimaux gave a general yell of assent and immediately retired, bounding and shouting and leaping as they went, looking, in their gleesome rotundity, like the infant progeny of a race of giants.
From the small kernel's undiscerned repose The oak that lords it o'er the forest grows. Two genii are there, from thy birth through weary life to guide thee; Ah, happy when, united both, they stand to aid beside thee? With gleesome play to cheer the path, the one comes blithe with beauty, And lighter, leaning on her arm, the destiny and duty.
Of those gleesome saunters over the hills in spring, or those sallies of the body in winter, those excursions into space when the foot strikes fire at every step, when the air tastes like a new and finer mixture, when we accumulate force and gladness as we go along, when the sight of objects by the roadside and of the fields and woods pleases more than pictures or than all the art in the world, those ten or twelve mile dashes that are but the wit and effluence of the corporeal powers, of such diversion and open road entertainment, I say, most of us know very little.
The stately walls of Troy had sunken, Her towers and temples strewed the soil; The sons of Hellas, victory-drunken, Richly laden with the spoil, Are on their lofty barks reclined Along the Hellespontine strand; A gleesome freight the favoring wind Shall bear to Greece's glorious land; And gleesome chant the choral strain, As toward the household altars now Each bark inclines the painted prow For Home shall smile again!
Here, too is an exquisite snatch on Memory: Fond Memory, like a mockingbird, Within the widow'd heart is heard, Repeating every touching tone Of voices that from earth hath gone. Queen Catharine's Sorrow is a ballad of mournful minstrelsy. Next is the Bard's Address to his youngest Daughter, by Mr. Hogg beginning Come to my arms, my dear wee pet! My gleesome, gentle Harriet!
The dew sparkled on blade and leaf, as if with delight at his appearance; a few flowers modestly uncovered their blooming heads; a few warblers of the forest for although autumn had nearly half advanced, some had delayed their journey to the sunny south sung gleesome songs; and altogether the morning in question was really a delightful one.
