But screw your courage to the sticking place,
And wee'le not fayle: when Duncan is asleepe,
(Whereto the rather shall his dayes hard Iourney
Soundly inuite him) his two Chamberlaines
Will I with Wine, and Wassell, so conuince,
That Memorie, the Warder of the Braine,
Shall be a Fume, and the Receit of Reason
A Lymbeck onely: when in Swinish sleepe,
Their
drenched
Natures lyes as in a Death,
What cannot you and I performe vpon
Th' vnguarded Duncan?

For even if she had been cursed by her father because of some unscrupulous fellow, Rachel was an honorable girl and loved simply everything about Diotima: her soft dark hair, which Rachel was al- lowed to brush mornings and evenings; the dresses she helped her into; the Chinese lacqu~rworkand the little carved Indian tables; the books in foreign languages lying about, of which she understood not a word; she also loved Herr Tuzzi and, most recently, the nabob who had paid a call on her
mistress
the second day after his arrival in town-she made it out to be the first day.

The grass, that elsewhere grows as best it may
Under the larches, countable long nesh blades,
Here in clear sky pads the ground thick and close
As wool upon a
Southdown
wether's back;
And as in Southdown wool, your hand must sink
Up to the wrist before it find the roots.

The thirteenth of the month was dis-
tinguished as the day on which Augustus had amused
the Eoman people, and
gratified
his own passion for
veiling despotism under republican forms, by restoring
to the senate the control of the provinces in which

From the room on
the left a single voice took up the song with would-be facetious emphasis:
‘The man that kisses a pretty girl And goes and tells his mother, Ought to have his lips
cut off, Ought to — ’
It tailed away, full of the ineffable,
undisguisable
sadness of debauchery.

Tho' here they scrape, an' squeeze, an' growl,
Their
worthless
nievefu' of a soul
May in some future carcase howl,
The forest's fright;
Or in some day-detesting owl
May shun the light.
