Página 138 - BYRON THERE is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar : I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews ; in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet cannot...
Página 200 - Yes! let the rich deride, the proud disdain, These simple blessings of the lowly train ; To me more dear, congenial to my heart. One native charm, than all the gloss of art; Spontaneous joys, where Nature has its play, The soul adopts, and owns their first-born sway; Lightly they frolic o'er the vacant mind,' Unenvied, unmolested, unconfined.

How thy rod bends! behold, the prize is thine! Cast on the bank, he dies, with gasping pains, And trickling blood his silver mail distains.
Página 44 - Method of cooking Salmon. — The salmon, as soon as caught, to be cut into slices, which are split, and a strong skewer of arbutus run through each, as close to the skin as possible ; these skewers are then stuck upright in a sod of turf before a clear wood fire, and constantly turned and basted with salt and water, — the fish, when sufficiently roasted, is served up on the skewers, which are supposed to communicate a peculiar aromatic flavour — -this method of dressing salmon is decidedly better...
Página 196 - He sits him down, and ties the treacherous hook ; Now expectation cheers his eager thought, His bosom glows with treasures yet uncaught; Before his eyes a banquet seems to stand, Where every guest applauds his skilful hand.
Página 198 - He has darted down on the tempting deceit with eager mouth ! A single moment — a moment of breathless and palpitating suspense — a single moment is given him ere the barb of death is struck, with nice yet firm hand, into his closing jaws . . . And so on, ending with a quotation from Horace and...
