Quotes

  • Now the "rosy morn appearing"Floods with light the dazzled heaven;And the schoolboy groans on hearingThat eternal clock strike seven:-Now the waggoner is drivingTowards the fields his clattering wain;Now the bluebottle, reviving,Buzzes down his native pane.
  • White is the wold, and ghostlyThe dank and leafless trees;And 'M's and 'N's are mostly Pronounced like 'B's and 'D's:'Neath bleak sheds, ice-encrusted,The sheep stands, mute and stolid:And ducks find out, disgusted,That all the ponds are solid.
  • O Beer! O Hodgson, Guinness, Allsop, Bass!Names that should be on every infant's tongue!Shall days and months and years and centuries pass,And still your merits be unrecked, unsung?Oh! I have gazed into my foaming glass,And wished that lyre could yet again be strungWhich once rang prophet-like through Greece, and taught herMisguided sons that "the best drink was water."
