lowers were heaped together. 785 CHARLES KINGSLEY: _Saint's Tragedy,_ Act v., Sc. 1. God the first garden made, and the first city, Cain. 786 COWLEY: _The Garden,_ Essay v. =Garret.= Born in the garret, in the kitchen bred. 787 BYRON: _A Sketch._ =Garrick.= Here lies David Garrick--describe him who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man. As an actor, confess'd without rival to shine; As a wit, if not first, in the very first line; Yet, with talents like these, and an excellent heart, The man had his failings--a dupe to his art. Like an ill-judging beauty, his colors he spread, And beplaster'd with rouge his own natural red. On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting: 'Twas only that when he was off, he was acting. 788 GOLDSMITH: _Retaliation,_ Line 93. =Gem.= Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear. 789 GRAY: _Elegy,_ St. 14. =Genius.= Time, place, and action, may with pains be wrought.

Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold; Thou hast no speculation in those eyes, Which thou dost glare with! 795 SHAKS.: _Macbeth,_ Act iii., Sc. 4. Many ghosts, and forms of fright, Have started from their graves to-night; They have driven sleep from mine eyes away. 796 LONGFELLOW: _Christus, Golden Legend,_ Pt. iv. Some say no evil thing that walks by night, In fog or fire, by lake or moorish fen, Blue meagre hag, or stubborn unlaid ghost That breaks his magic chains at curfew time, No goblin, or swart fairy of the mine, Hath hurtful power o'er true virginity. 797 MILTON: _Comus,_ Line 432. =Gifts.= She prizes not such trifles as these are: The gifts she looks from me, are pack'd and lock'd Up in my heart;
