Page 78 - Good people all of every sort, Give ear unto my song, And if you find it wondrous short It cannot hold you long.

Page 63 - And if one or two quick tears Dropped upon his glossy ears Or a sigh came double, Up he sprang in eager haste, Fawning, fondling, breathing fast, In a tender trouble.
Page 20 - This lamentable tale I tell ! A lasting monument of words This wonder merits well. The Dog, which still was hovering nigh, Repeating the same timid cry, This Dog had been through three months' space A dweller in that savage place.
