Sivu 124 - How dreadful is this place ! This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Sivu 6 - And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
Sivu 387 - His pursuits are sedentary, his limbs delicate, his movements languid. During many ages he has been trampled upon by men of bolder and more hardy breeds. Courage, independence, veracity, are qualities to which his constitution and his situation are equally unfavourable.
Sivu 456 - Nought looks the same, save the nest we made ! " Sad is your tale of the beautiful earth, Birds that o'ersweep it in power and mirth !

It is customary to take the hive every year, and the end of September, or beginning of October, is found...
Sivu 456 - We come from the shores of the green old Nile, From the land where the roses of Sharon smile, From the palms that wave through the Indian sky, From the myrrh-trees of glowing Araby. " We have swept o'er cities in song...
Sivu 256 - Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares. 12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
Sivu 288 - He was the reaper of the harvest of battle : I followed his steps as the humble gleaner of his sword. On the gory bed of honour he spread a carpet of the slain ; a barbarian " prince his pillow, he laid him down and sleeps surrounded by the foe.
