Página 49 - Mortens, there is little to extract. In the second canto he thus facetiously describes the long vacation : " Now at such times as lawyers walke the streets, Without long rowles of papers in their hands ; When friendly neighbour with his neighbour meetes, Without false chalenge to each others lands, The counsellor without his client stands !

Página 13 - His sinews small as threads or slender lines; Lord of the citty, where with solemne rites The old Prince Arthur feasted with his Knights. He saw my gifts were such as might deserve, He knew his life was drawing to an end.

That, living, might in time to come record Th' immortall praise of his deceased Lord.
