Seite 42 - A wig, with hanging quite grown grey ; A curtain, worn to half a stripe ; A pair of bellows, without pipe ; A dis"h, which might good meat afford once ; An Ovid, and an old Concordance ; A bottle-bottom, wooden platter, — One is for meal, and one for water.
Seite 552 - I shall ever use a respectful frankness of communication with you. Your faithful friend, your devoted servant, I shall be to the end of my life : a flatterer you do not wish for.
