märken, hvilka äfven i Sverige förekomma. Den lyder
sålunda:
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is low,
The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head.
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
For see! a rainbow spans the sky.
The walls are damp, the ditches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel.
Hark! how the chairs and tables crack,
Old Betty’s joints are on the rack;
Her corns with shooting pains torment her
And to her bed untimely send her,
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry,
The distant hills are looking nigh.
How restless are the snorting swine!
The busy flies disturb the kine.
Low o’er the gräss the swallow wings,
The cricket, too, how sharp he sings!
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping o’er her whiskered jaws.
Through the clear stream the fishes rise
And nimbly catch th’incautious flies.
The glowworms, numerous and bright,
Illumed the dewy dell last night.
At dusk the squalid toad was seen
Hopping and crawling o’er the green.
The whirling dust the wind obeys,
And in the rapid eddy plays.
The frog has changed his yellow west
And in a russet coat is dressed.
Though June, the air is cold and still,
The mellow blackbird’s voice is shrill,
My dog, so altered in his taste,
Quits mutton bones, on grass to feast.
And, see yon rooks, how odd their flight,
They imitate the gliding kite,
And seem precipitate to fall,
As if they felt the piercing ball —
’T will surely rain —
För öfrigt öfverensstämma de resultat, hvartill
ofvannämnda författare kommit, med våra. Det är framför
allt de optiska fenomenen, himlakropparnas utseende,
molnens och luftens beskaffenhet samt i andra rummet ett stort
antal iakttagelser ur växt- och djurverlden, som äro
förtjenta af tillit.
