Página 11 - Jack ! All my credit for successful gallantry has been extinguished, and my ardour in the chase been gradually evaporating ever since that very unseasonable phlebotomical operation which was performed upon me by Dick Merryman some years ago. A little Linnet, you know, was the subject of our dispute. We went out to settle it; he pinked my doublet as full of holes as a schoolgirl's sampler, and completed my obligations to him by carrying off the bird to his own nest.
Página 128 - On th' other side, Satan, alarm'd, Collecting all his might, dilated stood Like TenerifF, or Atlas, unremov'd: His stature reach'd the sky, and on his crest Sat horror plum'd.
