 At last awake / From life, that insane dream we take / For waking now. |
| At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time, / When you set your fancies free. |
| Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. |
| Backward and forward each throwing his shuttle, / Death ending all with a knife. |
| Bang-whang-whang goes the drum, tootle-tetootle the fife; No keeping one's haunches still: it's the greatest pleasure in life |
| Better have failed in the high aim, as I, Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed, As God be thanked! I do not |
| Blot out his name, then, record one lost soul more, / One task more declined, one more footpath untrod, / One more devil's-triumph and sorrow for angels, / One wrong more to man, one more insult to God! |
| Boston's a hole, the herring-pond is wide. |

| Creation purged o' the miscreate, man redeemed, / A spittle wiped off from the face of God! |
