Christmas Holidays
... And changing learning's pains for pleasure's toys ...
Death
... That thoughts shall cease, and the immortal sprite ...
Faithless Nelly Gray
... With both legs in the grave'Before you had those timber toes ...
Faithless Sally Brown
... "What a hard-ship that must be!""O! would I were a mermaid now, ...
Flowers
... And the daisy's cheek is tipped with blush, ...
Gold!
... Now stamped with the image of Queen Bess, ...
No!
... No road--no street--no "t'other side this way"-- ...
