78. oldal - Britain's isle, no matter where, An ancient pile of building stands : "The Huntingdons and Hattons there Employed the power of fairy hands To raise the ceiling's fretted height, Each panel in achievements clothing, Rich windows that exclude the light, And passages that lead to nothing.
55. oldal - ... one grain for the first square, two for the second, four for the third, and so on to sixty-four. This the king readily granted ; but when the amount was reckoned up, he had not wheat enough in his whole kingdom to pay it.
