Page 24 - In the worst inn's worst room, with mat half hung The floors of plaster, and the walls of dung, On once a flock-bed, but repair'd with straw, With tape-tied curtains, never meant to draw, The George and Garter dangling from that bed Where tawdry yellow strove with dirty red, Great Villiers lies* — alas ! how changed from him, That life of pleasure, and that soul of whim !

Page 404 - Into the horrors of the gloomy jail ? Unpitied, and unheard, where misery moans ; Where sickness pines; where thirst and hunger burn, And poor misfortune feels the lash of vice.
Page 437 - Yea, here they heard continually the singing of birds, and saw every day the flowers appear in the earth, and heard the voice of the turtle in the land. In this country the sun shineth night and day : wherefore this was beyond the valley of the Shadow of.
Page 551 - And because the breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air (where it comes and goes like the warbling of music) than in the hand, therefore nothing is more fit for that delight, than to know what be the flowers and plants that do best perfume the air.
