Sivu 271 - And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper : for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
Sivu 280 - Midst Nature's revels, sports that never cloy. A few begin a short but vigorous race, And indolence abash'd soon flies the place : Thus challenged forth, see thither one by one, From every side assembling playmates run ; A thousand wily antics mark their stay, A starting crowd impatient of delay. Like the fond dove from fearful prison freed, Each seems to say, " Come, let us try our speed...
Sivu 263 - I'll pause and sadly think: It was here he bowed his glossy neck when last I saw him drink! When last I saw thee drink! — Away! the fevered dream is o'er; I could not live a day, and know that we should meet no more!

Future races of these animalcules erect their habitations upon the rising bank, and die in their turn to increase,...
Sivu 360 - If a player attack the adverse King without saying " Check, his adversary is not obliged to attend to it ; but, if the former, in playing his next move, were to say " Check," each player must retract his last move, and he that is under check must obviate it.
Sivu 314 - Or, if with any part of his person he stop the ball, which, in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler's wicket, shall have been pitched in a straight line from it to the striker's wicket, and would have hit it.
Sivu 262 - And the rich blood that's in thee swells, in thy indignant pain, Till careless eyes, which rest on thee, may count each starting vein. Will they ill-use thee? If I thought — but no...
