from north to south, and its width 38 from east to west. It 
is one of the provinces of the most unequal and craggy terri¬ 
tory in the whole kingdom, and is extremely cold, with the 
exception of one or other ravine; its mountains being always 
covered with snow. They feed many of the vicunnas and 
huanacos, or Peruvian sheep; and in the ravines are found 
deer and mountain-cats, and some cattle; and of the skins 
of these the Indians make woven stuffs, which they barter on 
the coast, taking in exchange grain for their subsistence, the 
crops here being extremely small. It is only in those parts 
that are less cold, that various mines have been discovered; 
but very few of them have been worked, the advantages not 
covering the expense of the labour. It has many streams, 
which, united, flow down to the coast, and form the rivers 
which water the province of Canete.

The sad-ey’d justice, with his surly hum.

In yawning , the inner parchment of the ear is extended.— 
When a man yawneth, he cannot hear so well. Bacon .—

’Tis now the very witching time of night.

To express desire by yawning.—The chiefest thing at 
which lay-reformers yawn, is, that the clergy may, through 
conformity in condition, be poor as the apostles were. In 
which one circumstance, if they imagine so great perfection, 
they must think that church which hath such store of mendi¬ 
cant friars, a church in that respect most happy. Hooker. 
YAWN, s. Oscitation. 
Thee, Paridel, she mark’d thee, there 
Stretch’d on the rack of a too easy chair; 
And heard thy everlasting yawn confess 
The pains and penalties of idleness. Pope.

Hence to the borders of the marsh they go. 
That mingles with the baleful streams below; 
And sometimes with a mighty yawn, ’tis said, 
Opens a dismal passage to the dead. 
Who, pale with fear, the rending earth survey, 
And startle at the sudden flash of day. Addison.
