His first concern was to have a handsome signboard, with a proper inscription. He composed it in these words, "JOHN THOMPSON, HATTER, makes and sells hats for ready money...
Page 18 - ... forced to begin a minuet pace, with an air and a grace, swimming about, now in and now out, with a deal of state, in a figure of eight, without pipe or string, or any such thing ; and now I have writ, in a rhyming fit, what will make you dance, and as you advance, will keep you still, though against your will, dancing away, alert and gay, till you come to an end of what I...
Page 405 - ... to escape, in short, from the commonplace realities of the present, and lose myself among the shadowy grandeurs of the past.
Page 353 - And here a simile comes pat in : Though chickens take a month to fatten, The guests in less than half an hour Will more than half a score devour. So after toiling twenty days To earn a stock of pence and praise, Thy labours, grown the...
