One Hundred Double Acrostics: A New Year's Gift
By Myself No. 1 Pray, all who buy this little Book,
Accept these wishes kind;
Be pleased its errors to o'erlook,
And to its faults be blind. 1. Glist'ning leaves of violet hue.
2. Silvery beams o'er waters blue.
By Myself No. 1 Pray, all who buy this little Book,
Accept these wishes kind;
Be pleased its errors to o'erlook,
And to its faults be blind. 1. Glist'ning leaves of violet hue.
2. Silvery beams o'er waters blue.
3. My native Isle, fair freedom's seat.
4. This do, to make the two ends meet.
5. A Jewish maid, with locks of jet.
6. My dog's sad way, the naughty pet.
7. Come fill the goblet high with wine.
8. A merry lot in life be thine.
9. The clouds are gath'ring for a storm.
10. Pendent, it shines, in many a form.
11. My heart is rent with grief and woe.
12. He was my friend, --but now, my foe.
13. That noise again! those patt'ring feet.
14. O for my cat to kill and eat!
15. Your humble servant, this, my last. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
