Seite 86 - So Tongue was the lawyer, and argued the cause With a great deal of skill, and a wig full of learning ; While chief baron Ear sat to balance the laws, So famed for his talent in nicely discerning. In behalf of the Nose it will quickly appear, And your lordship...
Seite 306 - And they hae taen his very heart's blood, And drank it round and round; And still the more and more they drank, Their joy did more abound.
