Página 139 - Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "for I've often heard it said They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!" Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, "Dear friend, what can I do To prove the warm affection I've always felt for you?

Página 7 - And when week by week is gone, And the traveller journeys on Feebly ; when- his strength is fled, And his hope and heart seem dead, Camel, thou dost turn thine eye On him kindly, soothingly, As if thou wouldst cheering say, " Journey on for this one day ; Do not let thy heart despond ; There is water yet beyond ! — I can scent it in the air — Do not let thy heart despair ! " And thou guid'st the traveller there.
