As light as happy dreams they creep,
Nor break the feeblest link of sleep:
A midge, if in their road a-bed,
Feels not the wheels run oer his head,
But sleeps till sunrise calls him up,
Unconscious of the passing troop,--
Thus dame the winter-night regales
With wonder's never-ceasing tales;
While in a corner, ill at ease,
Or
crushing
tween their father's knees,
The children--silent all the while--
And een repressed the laugh or smile--
Quake with the ague chills of fear,
And tremble though they love to hear;
Starting, while they the tales recall,
At their own shadows on the wall:
Till the old clock, that strikes unseen
Behind the picture-pasted screen
Where Eve and Adam still agree
To rob Life's fatal apple-tree,
Counts over bed-time's hour of rest,
And bids each be sleep's fearful guest.

regard of able men to serve them in causes of estate, because there is no
education collegiate which is free, where such as were so disposed might
give themselves in histories, modern languages, books of policy and civil
discourse, and other the like
enablements
unto service of estate.

The chief of these
last, is the distinction between the function of making laws, for which
a
numerous
popular assembly is radically unfit, and that of getting good
laws made, which is its proper duty and cannot be satisfactorily
fulfilled by any other authority: and the consequent need of a
Legislative Commission, as a permanent part of the constitution of a
free country; consisting of a small number of highly trained political
minds, on whom, when Parliament has determined that a law shall be made,
the task of making it should be devolved: Parliament retaining the power
of passing or rejecting the bill when drawn up, but not of altering it
otherwise than by sending proposed amendments to be dealt with by the
Commission.

comme moi à ses apparences de saint Louis rendant la justice sous un
chêne, aux sons de voix facilement apitoyés qui sortaient de sa bouche
un peu trop harmonieuse, croyaient à une
véritable
perfidie quand ils
apprenaient une médisance à leur égard venant d'un homme qui avait
semblé mettre son coeur dans ses paroles.
