The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction

the old bridge, where the
observatory of the celebrated Friar Bacon was formerly standing. The
wood is large, extending itself to the summit of a hill, which commands
a charming panoramic view of Oxford, and of the adjacent country. The
scene is richly diversified with hill and dale, while the spires,
turrets, and towers of the university, rise high above the clustering
trees, filling the beholder with the utmost awe and veneration. During

The cream of meat;
And keep eternal fires
By which we sit, _and do divine_."

I consider then that it has simply the same meaning as that of "coming a
day after the fair." To come at the end of a feast when the various
