Excerpt from The Old English Gentleman, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, the Fields and the Woods
"The birds chant melody on every bush;
The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun;
The green leaves quiver with the cooling wind,
And make a chequer'd shadow on the ground."
"Call things by their proper names, Peter," said Mr. Bolton to the keeper, holding a brace of greyhounds in his leash upon the lawn.
"I never heard 'em called differently," replied Peter - "never, in all my life, till now."
