Sivu 233 - What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, And grind the faces of the poor? Saith the Lord God of hosts. Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, Walking and mincing as they go, And making a tinkling with their feet...
Sivu 56 - Some therefore of the miserable remnant being taken in the mountains, were murdered in great numbers ; others constrained by famine, came and yielded themselves to be slaves for ever to their foes, running the risk of being instantly slain, which truly was the greatest favour that could be offered them ; some others passed beyond the seas with loud lamentations, instead of the voice of exhortation, — ' Thou hast given us as sheep to be slaughtered, and among the Gentiles hast thou dispersed us.
Sivu 77 - ... they place the dishes before them all at once upon rushes and fresh grass, in large platters or trenchers. They also make use of a thin and broad cake of bread, baked every day, such as in old writings was called 'lagana' : and they sometimes add chopped meat with broth.
Sivu 77 - In the evening, when no more guests are expected, the meal is prepared according to the number and dignity of the persons assembled, and according to the wealth of the family who entertains. The kitchen does not supply many dishes, nor high-seasoned incitements to eating.
Sivu 78 - While the family is engaged in waiting on the guests, the host and hostess stand up, paying unremitting attention to everything, and take no food till all the company are satisfied; that in case of any deficiency, it may fall upon them.

To us who dwell on the uttermost confines of the earth, and of freedom, this remote sanctuary of Britain's glory has up to this time been a defence.
Sivu 62 - Shall subdue and enthrall The broad Britain all, From the Lochlin ocean to Severn's bed. "And British men Shall be captives then, To strangers from Saxonia's strand ; They shall praise their God, and hold Their language as of old, But except wild Wales they shall lose their land.
Sivu 26 - ... own thoughts and troubles. She had placed some new specimens of photography, in a bright-coloured case, conspicuously within his reach, and after some time he noticed them. It was always vain to endeavour to force his attention ; it must be suffered to take its own desultory course. He sat up, leaned his elbow on the table, and his head on his hand, and began to turn over the contents of the case. They were landscape photographs, selected from striking scenes, and all quarters of the world. Miriam,...
Sivu 79 - ... pleasing sound. They enter into a movement, and conclude it in so delicate a manner, and play the little notes so sportively under the blunter sounds of the base strings, enlivening with wanton levity, or communicating a deeper internal sensation of pleasure, so that the perfection of their art appears in the concealment of it, — Art profits when concealed disgraces when revealed.
Sivu 22 - This hour we dedicate to joy; Then fill the Hirlas Horn, my boy, That shineth like the sea; Whose azure handle, tipped with gold, Invites the grasp of Britons bold, The sons of liberty.
