HOOD: _The Haunted House._
Like glimpses of forgotten dreams. 584 TENNYSON: _The Two Voices,_ St. cxxvii. =Dress.= Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet; In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet. 585 LADY M.W. MONTAGU: _A Summary of Lord Lyttelton's Advice._ We sacrifice to dress, till household joys And comforts cease. Dress drains our cellar dry, And keeps our larder lean; puts out our fires, And introduces hunger, frost, and woe, Where peace and hospitality might reign. 586 COWPER: _Task,_ Bk. ii., Line 614. =Drink--Drinking--Drunkenness.= Oh, that men should put an enemy in Their mouths, to steal away their brains! that we Should, with joy, pleasance, revel and applause, Transform ourselves into beasts! 587 |
