TT: _Lady of the Lake,_ Canto ii., St. 22. =Hell.= 'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world. 894 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act iii., Sc. 2. A dungeon horrible, on all sides round, As one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames No light; but rather darkness visible Serv'd only to discover sights of woe, Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace And rest can never dwell, hope never comes That comes to all, but torture without end. 895 MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. i., Line 61. Hell Grew darker at their frown. 896 MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. ii., Line 719. To rest, the cushion and soft dean invite, Who never mentions hell to ears polite. 897 POPE: _Moral Essays,_ Epis. iv., Line 149. In hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell. 898 BYRON: _Ch. Harold,_ Canto i., St. 20. Hell is a city much like London-- A populous and a smoky city; There are all sorts of people undone, And there is little or no fun done; Small justice shown, and still less pity. 899 SHELLEY: _Peter Bell the Third,_ Pt. iii. =Heritage.= I, the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time. 900 TENNYSON: _Loksley Hall,_ Line 178. Creation's heir, the world, the world is mine! 901 GOLDSMITH: _Traveller,_ Line 50. =Heroes.= Heroes are much the same, the point's agreed, From Macedonia's madman to the Swede. 902 POPE: _Essay on Man,_ Epis. iv., Line 219. Whoe'er excels in what we prize, Appears a hero in our eyes. 903 SWIFT: _Cadenus and Vanessa,_ Line 729. To the hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free Death's voice sounds like a prophet's word; And in its hollow tones are heard The thanks of millions yet to be! 904 HALLECK: _Marco Bozzaris._ Heroes as great have died, and yet shall fall. 905 POPE: _Iliad,_ Bk. xv., Line 157. =Hills.= The hills, Rock-ribbed, and ancient as the sun. 906 WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT: _Thanatopsis._ I have looked on the hills of the stormy North, And the larch has hung his tassels forth. 907 HEMANS: _The Voice of Spring._ =History.= History, with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page. 908 BYRON: _Ch. Harold,_ Canto iv.; St. 108. =Holiday.= If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work; But when they seldom come, they wished-for come, And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents. 909 SHAKS.: _1 Henry IV.,_ Ac
