Pagina 214 - Years have roll'd on, Loch na Garr, since I left you, Years must elapse ere I tread you again ; Nature of verdure and flowers has bereft you, Yet still are you dearer than Albion's plain. England ! thy beauties are tame and domestic To one who has roved o'er the mountains afar : Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic, The steep frowning glories of dark Loch na Garr ! TO ROMANCE.

Pagina 59 - Exmouth boasts no public rooms or assemblies, save one card assembly, in an inconvenient apartment at one of the inns, on Monday evenings. The company meet at half after five, and break up at ten; they play at shilling whist, or twopenny quadrille. We have very few young people here, and no diversions ; no belles dames amusing to the unmarried, but some beldames unamusing to the married. Walking on a hill which commands a view of...
Pagina 8 - And by and by, though we designed to have done, before company come, much company come ; very fine ladies ; and the manner pretty enough, only methinks it cannot be clean to go so many bodies together in the same water. Good conversation among them that are acquainted here, and stay together. Strange to see how hot the water is ; and in some places, though this is the most temperate bath, the springs so hot as the feet not able to endure.
Pagina 23 - One of the best of physicians our city has ever known, is kind, cheerful, merry Doctor Brighton. Hail, thou purveyor of shrimps and honest prescriber of South Down mutton ! There is no mutton so good as Brighton mutton ; no...
