By the light of this sun I was, in my own opinion, last to behold and take leave of some of those creatures on whom I doted with a mother-like fondness, guided by nature and passion, and uncured and unhardened by all the doctrine of that philosophical school where I had learned to bear pains and to despise death.
Էջ 156 - Within his large wig little more was to be seen than his aquiline nose, and his penetrating eye. He looked like a dying man ; yet never was seen a figure of more dignity ; he appeared like a being of a superior species.
