with
the production and sale of books, which had been formed in 1403,
had, with the increased trade in books and the introduction of
printing, developed in course of time into the craft of Stationers;
and, as all persons carrying on any business in the city of London
connected with the book trade were required to become members
of the craft, this association had long exercised considerable

The
bridegroom
thought it little to give
A dole of bread, a purse,
A heartfelt prayer for the poor of God,
Or for the rich a curse;
But whether or not a man was asked
To mar the love of two
By harboring woe in the bridal house,
The bridegroom wished he knew.

Rich clouds, for canopies, about her curled--
Fit emblems of the model of her world--
Seen but in beauty--not
impeding
sight
Of other beauty glittering thro' the light--
A wreath that twined each starry form around,
And all the opal'd air in color bound.

Poland, territorially
shapeless
and ungainly, with
boundaries perpetually fluid, open to both peaceful and
armed invasion on a dozen fronts, harbouring immense
quantities of resident foreigners, and weakened by the
chronic if stifled discontent of the peasants against the
peers, yet possessed extraordinary national vitality,
which was symbolized then, as it is to-day, in the
language.
