O the month of May, the merry month of May,
Out upon it, I have loved,

Over hill, over dale,

Over the mountains,

- 174

O whither dost thou fly? cannot my vow,

Pack clouds away, and welcome day,
Phœbus, arise,

Pinch him, pinch him, black and blue,
Pipe, merry Annot,

Pluck the fruit and taste the pleasure,
Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,
Praised be Diana's fair and harmless light,
Praise they that will times past, I joy to see,

Queen and huntress, chaste and fair,

Rose-cheeked Laura,

Roses, their sharp spines being gone,
Round about in a fairy ring-a,
Round-a, round-a, keep your ring, -
Sabrina fair,
See, O see!

Sees not my love how Time resumes,
See the chariot at hand here of Love!

See where my love a-maying goes,

See where she issues in her beauty's pomp,

Set me where Phoebus' heat the flowers slayeth,
Shall I, wasting in despair,

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,

Since, there's no help, come, let us kiss and part,

Sing aloud! His praise rehearse,

Sing Lullaby, as women do,

Sing to Apollo, god of day,

Sing we and chant it,

Sitting by a river's side, -

Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears,
Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king,
Steer hither, steer your wingèd pines,
Sweet, be not proud of those two eyes,

Sweet bird, that sing'st away the early hours,

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright! -

Sweet Echo, sweetest Nymph, that livest unseen,

- 193

Sweetest love, I do not go,

- 116

Sweet rose, whence is this hue,

144

- 224

Sweet, serene, sky-like flower,

Sweet Spring, thou com'st with all thy goodly train,
Sweet Suffolk owl, so trimly dight,

Sweet thrall, first step to Love's felicity,-
Sweet violets, Love's paradise, that spread,

Take, O take those lips away,

Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind,

Tell me where is fancy bred, -

That time of year thou mayst in me behold,
That which her slender waist confined,
The expense of spirit in a waste of shame,

The fairy beam upon you,

The glories of our blood and state,

- 123

- 225

The last and greatest herald of heaven's King,
The man of life upright,

The means, therefore, which unto us is lent,
The nightingale, as soon as April bringeth,

The seas are quiet when the winds give o'er, -

The sootë season, that bud and bloom forth brings,
The world's a bubble, and the life of man,
They are all gone into the world of light!
They flee from me that sometime did me seek,
This Life, which seems so fair,

This way, this way come, and hear,

Though I have twice been at the doors of death,
Thrice happy he who by some shady grove,
Thrice toss these oaken ashes in the air,
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,

To ask for all thy love, and thy whole heart, 't were mad-

ness!

To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
To the ocean now I fly, -

Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee,

Weep you no more, sad fountains, -

Welcome, maids of honour,

- 215

Welcome pure thoughts and peaceful hours,
Welcome, welcome, do I sing,

- 252

What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
What pleasure have great princes, -

What! shall I ne'er more see those halcyon days!
What sing the sweet birds in each grove?
What then is love but mourning?

What thing is Beauty? "Nature's dearest Minion!"

When love on time and measure makes his ground,

- 77

When Love with unconfinèd wings,

- 223

When thou must home to shades of underground, -

- 129

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought,

- 88

When whispering strains do softly steal,
Where the bee sucks, there suck I,

Whoever comes to shroud me, do not harm,
Who is Silvia? what is she,

Who travels by the weary wandering way,

Why so pale and wan, fond lover,

Will't ne'er be morning? Will that promised light,
Wilt thou forgive that sin, where I begun,
Winds, whisper gently whilst she sleeps,

With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climbst the skies,
With marjoram gentle, -

Ye have been fresh and green,

Ye learned sisters, which have oftentimes,

Ye little birds that sit and sing,

- 164

Yet if his majesty our sovereign lord,

- 173

You meaner beauties of the night,

- 150

Your hay it is mowed, and your corn it is reaped,

- 266

You spotted snakes with double tongue,

- 81

You virgins, that did late despair,

ANNANDALE, CHARLES-CONCISE ENGLISH DICTIONARY. A Concise Dictionary of the English Language, Literary, Scientific, Etymological, and Pronouncing. Based on Ogilvie's Imperial Dictionary. By CHARLES ANNANDALE, M.A., LL.D. Containing a Copious Vocabulary with careful Definitions; Explanations of Phrases, Proverbial Expressions, &c.; Brief Notes on Synonyms and Grammatical Constructions; and useful Appendices. 864 pp., foolscap 4to, cloth, 5s.; Roxburgh, 6s. 6d.; half-morocco, 9s.

"The Concise Dictionary stands first-and by a long interval-among all the one-volume English Dictionaries hitherto published.”—The Academy.

"We have tested this dictionary by use, which is the only way to form a fair judgment on a work of the kind, and our first impression of its clearness of definition, arrangement, and type, and of its comprehensiveness and general handiness and

usefulness, has been steadily confirmed.
... We
can heartily recommend this neat and handy
volume to all who want a copious and trust-
worthy English dictionary of reasonable dimen-
sions."-Athenæum.

"We do not hesitate a moment to bestow upon the Concise Dictionary our very highest praise. It forms in truth a priceless treasury of valuable information."-Practical Teacher.

OGILVIE & ANNANDALE-THE STUDENT'S ENGLISH DICTIONARY, LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, ETYMOLOGICAL, AND PRONOUNCING. BY JOHN OGIlvie, ll.d. New Edition. Thoroughly revised and greatly augmented. Edited by CHARLES ANNANDALE, M.A., LL.D. With extensive Appendices. Illustrated by nearly 800 Engravings on wood. Large f'cap quarto, 872 pages, cloth, red edges, 7s. 6d.; half-Persian, 10s. 6d.; half-morocco flexible, 12s. 6d.

"The book is a very handy size, and is issued at a surprisingly low price. The woodcuts are remarkably well executed. Leaving out of account the unwieldy and expensive recent editions of Webster and Worcester, we have no hesitation in saying that this is by far the most useful [22]

one-volume English dictionary at present existing "-Athenæum.

"Taking into account the marvellously low price at which it is published, we pronounce it the best English dictionary for the general reader."―Journal of Education.
