Sida 275 - The hunting of that day. The stout Earl of Northumberland A vow to God did make, His pleasure in the Scottish woods Three summer days to take, — The chiefest harts in Chevy-Chase To kill and bear away.
Sida 74 - DEAR Harp of my country ! in darkness I found thee, The cold chain of silence had hung o'er thee long, When proudly, my own Island Harp ! I unbound thee, And gave all thy chords to light, freedom, and song...

Sida 351 - Mussoorie was nearly empty, the season not having yet commenced ; but it is generally very full from April to October, after which time the visitors return to the low country, scarcely any one remaining on the hills during the winter.
