Exercise 6

Mark the participles and infinitives.

Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!

Bright and yellow, hard and cold,

Molten, graven, hammer'd and roll'd;

Heavy to get, and light to hold;

Hoarded, barter'd, bought, and sold,

Stolen, borrow'd, squander'd, doled:

Spurn'd by the young, but hugg'd by the old

To the very verge of the churchyard mould;

Price of many a crime untold:

Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!

Good or bad a thousand-fold!

How widely its agencies vary--

To save--to ruin--to curse--to bless--

As even its minted coins express,

Now stamp'd with the image of Good Queen Bess,

And now of a bloody Mary.--_Thos. Hood_.
