SCOTT: _Marmion,_ Canto vi., St. 17
=December.= And after him came next the chill December: Yet he, through merry feasting which he made And great bonfires, did not the cold remember; His Saviour's birth his mind so much did glad. 510 SPENSER: _Faerie Queene,_ Bk. vii., Canto vii., St. 41. As soon Seek roses in December, ice in June. 511 BYRON: _English Bards and Scotch Reviewers,_ Line 75. =Decency.= Immodest words admit of no defence, For want of decency is want of sense. 512 EARL OF ROSCOMMON: _Essay on Translated Verse_; Line 113. =Decision.= If it were done, when 't is done, then 't were well It were done quickly. |
