Pàgina 632 - And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
Pàgina 629 - But we their sons, a pamper'd race of men, Are dwindled down to threescore years and ten. Better to hunt in fields for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught. The wise for cure on exercise depend: God never made his work for man to mend.
Pàgina 534 - No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Pàgina 632 - And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

Pàgina 630 - Tis time to save the few remains of war. But let some prophet, or some sacred sage, Explore the cause of great Apollo's rage ; Or learn the wasteful vengeance to remove By mystic dreams, for dreams descend from Jove. If broken vows this heavy curse have laid, Let altars smoke, and hecatombs be paid. So Heaven, aton'd, shall dying Greece restore, And Phoebus dart his burning shafts no more.
Pàgina 180 - ... comes into this melancholy house a black hood is drawn; and in this dark shroud, an emblem of the curtain dropped between him and the living world, he is led to the cell from which he never again comes forth until his whole term of imprisonment has expired. He never hears of wife or children; home or friends; the life or death of any single creature. He sees the prison officers, but, with that exception, he never looks upon a human countenance, or hears a human voice.
Pàgina 597 - Tearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and an horrible dread hath overwhelmed me. ' It is not an open enemy that hath done me this dishonour, for then I could have borne it. ' It was even thou my companion, my guide, and my own familiar friend.
