HOGG--Queen's Wake.

43. He chats like popinjay, And struts with phiz tremendously erect.

TENNENT--Anster Fair.

44. His large fair front, and eye sublime, declare Absolute rule, and hyacinthine locks, Round from his parted forelock, manly hang Clustering.

Midsummer Night's Dream.

SHELLEY.

47. Full long are both his spindle-shanks, and lean Just like a walking-stick--no calf is seen.

CHAUCER.

48. Faster than his tongue Doth make offence, his eye doth heal it up.

As You Like It.

49. His eyes are like the eagle's, yet sometimes Liker the dove's; and at his will he wins All hearts with softness, or with spirit awes.

HOME--Douglass.

50. There's a cold bearing, And grave, severe aspect about the man, That makes our spirits pay him such respect, As though he dwelt 'neath age's silvery pent-house, Despite his unripe years.

FANNY KEMBLE.

51. Young and fair, Yet a man;--with crisped hair, Cast in thousand snares and rings For Love's fingers, and his wings: Chesnut color, or more slack Gold, upon a ground of black.

BEN JONSON.

52. A brow half martial, and half diplomatic, An eye upsoaring like an eagle's wings.

ADDISON--Cato.
