Стр. 492 - Yet, even in the Old Testament, if you listen to David's harp, you shall hear as many hearse-like airs as carols : and the pencil of the Holy Ghost hath laboured more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.

"When we were taken upstairs," says he in one of his letters, "a dirty...
Стр. 222 - It seemed as if his labours were repaid By the mere noise and movement of the fray : No conquests nor acquirements had he made ; His chief delight was, on some festive day To ride triumphant, prodigal, and proud, And shower his wealth amidst the shouting crowd.
Стр. 377 - The Attorneyship for Francis is that I must have ; and in that I will spend all my power, might, authority, and amity, and with tooth and nail procure the same for him against whomsoever ; and whosoever getteth this office out of my hands for any other, before he have it, it shall cost him the coming by.
