עמוד 293 - tis to cast one's eyes so low ! The crows, and choughs, that wing the midway air, Show scarce so gross as beetles. Half way down Hangs one that gathers samphire ; dreadful trade ! Methinks he seems no bigger than his head. The fishermen, that walk upon the beach, Appear like mice ; and yon' tall, anchoring bark, Diminished to her cock ; her cock, a buoy Almost too small for sight.
עמוד 218 - I still seem to see it, the huge, grim thing; many of the others were large, strikingly so, and appeared fully to justify the old man's conclusion that their owners must have been strange fellows ; but, compared with this mighty mass of bone, they looked small and diminutive, like those of pigmies ; it must have belonged to a giant, one of those red-haired warriors of whose strength and stature such wondrous tales are told in the ancient chronicles of the north, and whose grave-hills, when ransacked,...
עמוד 139 - Health : the second giueth both Wealth and Health : and the thirde affoordeth Health onely, and little or no Wealth. For if a man, minding to passe through Kent toward London...
עמוד 122 - They subsist by their cattle, leading for the most part a wandering life. Of the metals they have tin and lead; which with skins they barter with the merchants for earthenware, salt, and brazen vessels. Formerly the Phoenicians alone carried on this traffic from Gades...
עמוד 348 - They say the Lion and the Lizard keep The Courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep: And Bahrain that great Hunter — the Wild Ass Stamps o'er his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.
עמוד 293 - Appear like mice; and yon' tall anchoring bark, Diminish'd to her cock; her cock, a buoy Almost too small for sight: The murmuring surge, That on the unnumber'd idle pebbles chafes, Cannot be heard so high: — I'll look no more; Lest my brain turn, and the deficient sight Topple down headlong.
עמוד 25 - And then, after an innumerable multitude had been slain on the field, or rather in their flight, a very great calamity presented itself before the eyes of all. " There lay between the hostile armies a certain dreadful precipice, caused either by a natural chasm of the earth or by some convulsion of the elements. It was of considerable extent, and being overgrown with bushes or brambles was not very easily seen, and great numbers of men, principally Normans in pursuit of the English, were suffocated...
עמוד 328 - All the towne was graveled, and strewed with rushes, herbs, flags, and such lyke, every howse havinge a nomber of grene bowes standing against the dores and walls, every howse paynted whyte and black. Her Majestie rode into the towne, and in dyvers places, as far as her lodginge, were dyvers cords made of vine branches, with their leaves hanking crosse the streats ; and uppon them dyvers garlands of fyne flowers. And so she rode forth till she came directly over against Mr. Cripp's howses, almost...
עמוד 25 - Amid these miseries there was exhibited a fearful spectacle : the fields were covered with dead bodies, and on every hand nothing was to be seen but the red hue of blood. The dales all around sent forth a gory stream which increased at a distance to the size of a river...
