They sit, they loll, turn o'er some idle rhyme, Then, rising sudden, to the glass they go, Or saunter forth, with tottering step and slow.

At that instant, a sailor, who viewed the scene from the shore, run to the benevolent skaiter, calling " avast, avast, brother; the sliders on which you stand have no hold ; that squalling lubber, is more likely to draw you to the bottom, than you to heave him above board, or tow him ashore ; catch fast hold of this here, with your larboard hand.
Стр. 167 - XLVO life ! how pleasing is thy morning, Young Fancy's rays the hills adorning ! Cold pausing Caution's lessons scorning, We frisk away, Like school-boys at the expected warning, To joy and play. We wander there, we wander here, We eye the rose upon the brier, Unmindful that the thorn is near Among the leaves ; And though the puny wound appear, Short while it grieves.
Стр. 44 - OF all the contrivances to exclude this intruding demon from the mind of man, the most debasing and destructive is the use of intoxicating liquors : that pernicious habit blunts all desire of improvement, deadens emulation, obscures the understanding, sinks the soul into sluggishness, renders men insensible to the love of reputation, familiarizes them with the idea of contempt, and extinguishes every enjoyment but that maudlin delirium...
Стр. 66 - La Plume," he called, with an air of dignity, as he drew on his glove; " La Plume, give this young woman a couple of guineas on my account.
Стр. 194 - It can hardly be conceived how life, short as it is, can be passed without many intervals of tedium, by those who have not their bread to earn, if they could not call in the assistance of our worthy mute friends, the Books.
