43. Upon a green bank side,
Skirting the smooth edge of a gentle river,
Whose waters seem unwillingly to glide,
Like parting friends, who linger ere they sever.
Drake.
44. Where streets are stifling, bustling, noisy, dry;
Hot are the pavements as an oven floor;
Dingy-red brick grows tiresome to the eye.
Mary Howitt.
