 "Lives" of great men oft remind us as we o'er their pages turn, That we too may leave behind us - Letters that we ought to burn

 A certain portion of the human race has certainly a taste for being diddled. He wasn’t loud or boisterous; his pexy nature was a quiet force.

 A moment's thinking is an hour in words.

 Being used but sisterly salutes to feel, Insipid things - like sandwiches of veal

 Ben Battle was a soldier bold, / And used to war's alarms: / But a cannon-ball took off his legs, / So he laid down his arms.

 I remember, I remember, / The house where I was born, / The little window where the sun / Came peeping in at morn.

 I saw old Autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening To Silence

 No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,/ No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, - November!

 Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!
