Sivu 261 - Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Sivu 324 - Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee. The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots. The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
Sivu 252 - Cleopatra, assisted by two women, who were the only persons she had brought with her into the tomh, drew him up. Never was there a more moving sight.

Sivu 312 - Of meads, and streams that through the valley glide, And shady groves that easy sleep invite, And, after toilsome days, a soft repose at night. * Wild beasts of nature in his woods abound ; And youth, of labour patient, plough the ground, Inur'd to hardship, and to homely fare. Nor venerable age is wanting, there, In great examples to the youthful train ; Nor are the gods ador'd with rites profane.
