After the full completion of fair day, —
For rest divine upon exalted couch
And slumber in the arms of melody,
He paced away the pleasant hours of ease
With stride colossal, on from hall to hall ;
While far within each aisle and deep recess,
His winged minions in close clusters stood,
Amazed and full of fear; like anxious men
Who on wide plains gather in panting troops,
When
earthquakes
jar their battlements and towers.

Tancred by this, that strove to overtake
The villain that had hurt his only dear,
From vain pursuit at last returned back,
And his brave troop
discomfit
saw well near,
Thither he spurred, and gan huge slaughter make,
His shock no steed, his blow no knight could bear,
For dead he strikes him whom he lights upon,
So thunders break high trees on Lebanon.

want you down here in time to help me get breakfast ready ’
‘I’m so sorry,’ said Dorothy
‘I hope you’re fond of fried eggs for your breakfast^’ went on Mrs Creevy
Dorothy hastened to assure her that she was very fond of fried eggs
‘Well, that’s a good thing, because you’ll always have to have the same as
what I have So I hope you’re not going to be what I call dainty about your
food I always think,’ she added, picking up her knife and fork, ‘that a fried egg
tastes a lot better if you cut it well up before you eat it ’
She sliced the two eggs into thin strips, and then served them in such a way
that Dorothy received about two-thirds of an egg With some
difficulty
Dorothy spun out her fraction of egg so as to make half a dozen mouthfuls of it,
and then, when she had taken a slice of bread and butter, she could not help
glancing hopefully in the direction of the dish of marmalade.
