Truly, humour has its laudable and kindly uses: it is the mind's play-time after office-drudgery an easy recreation from thought, anxiety, or study. Often, for mine own poor part in this most mirthful age, have I had but take no thought of preserving their echoes, or of shrining them in the eternal basalt of print, like to the oft-repeated cries of Lurley's hunted in-dweller.
"Not Architecture! as all others are, But the proud passion of an Emperor's love Wrought into living stone, which gleams and soars With body of beauty shrining soul and thought; ... As when some face Divinely fair unveils before our eyes Some woman beautiful unspeakably And the blood quickens, and the spirit leaps, And will to worship bends the half-yielded knees, While breath forgets to breathe.

Upon the smooth-shaven lawn, at various distances from each other, were stretched parties of students, who either bent their brows over volumes of Greek or Latin or interchanged merry conversation, which passed around like an elastic ball or leaning their heads upon overturned chairs, suffered to curl upward from their lazy lips white wreaths of smoke which turned to floods of gold in the red sunset, while the calm pipe-holders dreamed of that last minuet and the blue eyes shrining it in memory, then of the reel through which she darted with such joyous sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks and so went on and dreamed and sighed, then sighed and dreamed again.
Heire-Daughter of that prudent, constant kinde, Joyning thereto of GREY as great a name, Of both chief glories shrining in your minde, Honour him that your Honor doth proclaime.
