Sivu 23 - And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Sivu 22 - And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days...
Sivu 68 - DEMOCRITUS, dear droll, revisit earth, And with our follies glut thy heighten'd mirth : Sad Heraclitus, serious wretch, return, In louder grief our greater crimes to mourn. Between you both I unconcern'd stand by ; Hurt, can I laugh ? and honest, need I cry ? FOR MY OWN TOMBSTONE.
Sivu 79 - Historical memoir on Italian Tragedy, from the earliest period to the present time : illustrated with specimens and analyses of the most celebrated tragedies; and interspersed with occasional observations on the Italian Theatres, and biographical notices of the principal tragic writers of Italy. By a member of the Arcadian Academy of Rome.

Boxhornius writ a commentary upon a small poem De Lite, supposed by him to be some ancient author's ; but...
Sivu 15 - Having first apologized to his father for not visiting him in the vacation, he gives him an account of his teacher. " I am obliged for the happiness I have " enjoyed of late to a gentleman of this society, and " shall always bless God that his providence ever " brought me acquainted with him. He is a fellow "of our house; and, though but...
Sivu 36 - Towns were certainly antecedent to Great Cities ; but if you will be content with the more humble derivation, I will give up the point — for Green-fields were certainly more ancient than either.
Sivu 14 - It was now too late for such a remonstrance to have any effect; I therefore, on the contrary, prevailed upon him to become my master in Hebrew, which I was very desirous to learn: and in this he acquitted himself with so much skill and kind attention, writing out for me with his own hand such grammatical rules and directions as he judged necessary, that in a very short time I could go on without my guide. I remember, however, that I had nearly worked myself to death, by determining, like Duns Scptus...
Sivu 68 - GREAT Bacchus, born in thunder and in fire, By native heat asserts his dreadful sire. Nourish'd near shady rills and cooling streams, He to the nymphs avows his amorous flames. To all the brethren at the Bell and Vine, The moral says ; mix water with your wine.
Sivu 24 - And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
