Additional quotes by Thomas Hood

For my part, getting up seems not so easy
By half as lying.

Pity it is to slay the meanest thing.

'Twas in the prime of summer-time
An evening calm and cool,
And four-and-twenty happy boys
Came bounding out of school:
There were some that ran and some that leapt,
Like troutlets in a pool.
