Unlike in method, with conceal'd design, Did crafty Horace his low numbers join : And, with a sly insinuating grace, Laugh'd at his friend, and look'd him in the face: Would raise a blush, where secret vice he found ; And tickle, while he gently prob'd the wound.
Page 272 - Dreadnought, how he works him! the terriers too, they now are squeaking at him. - How close Vengeance pursues! how terribly she presses! -it is just up with him! -Gods! what a crash they make; the whole wood resounds! - That turn was very short! - There! now - aye, now they have him! Who-hoop!
Page 269 - Now let your huntsman throw in his hounds as quietly as he can, and let the two whippersin keep wide of him on either hand, so that a single hound may not escape them; let them be attentive to his halloo, and be ready to encourage or rate, as that directs : he will, of course, draw up the wind, for reasons which I shall give in another place.

That was a quick turn! Again another! - he's put to his last shifts. Now Mischief is at his heels, and death is not far off.
Page 269 - Now, if you can keep your brother sportsmen in order, and put any discretion into them, you are in luck ; they more frequently do harm than good : if it be possible, persuade those who wish to halloo the fox, off, to stand quiet under the cover side, and on no account to halloo him too soon ; if they do, he most certainly will turn back...
Page 35 - Admiration and eminence are chiefly to be purchafed by the vigour, the fortitude, and the capacity which are exerted and difplayed in public occupations. He inculcated retired and afcetic virtues.
