Chapter SCATTER to SCOTLAND of Index by Grocott's Quotations - Alpha

Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel,
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.

Shakespeare.—As You Like it, Act II. Scene 7. (Jaques on the Seven Ages of Man.)

SCHOOLMASTER.—The innocent delight he took
To see the virgin mind her book,
Was but the master’s secret joy
In school to hear the finest boy.

Swift.—Cadenus and Vanessa, Line 550.

SCORN.—But, alas! to make me
The fixed figure for the time of scorn,
To point his slow and moving finger at.

Shakespeare.—Othello, Act IV. Scene 2. (The Moor to Desdemona.)

SCOTLAND.—Stands Scotland where it did?

Shakespeare.—Macbeth, Act IV. Scene 3. (Macduff to Rosse.)

From scenes like these old Scotia’s grandeur springs.

SCOTLAND.—O Scotia! my dear, my native soil!
For whom my warmest wish to Heaven is sent!
Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil
Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet content!

Burns.—Cotter’s Saturday Night, Verse 20.
