Էջ 297 - That palter with us in a double sense ; That keep the word of promise to our ear, And break it to our hope.
Էջ 156 - And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Էջ 64 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Էջ 273 - Are brought ; and feel by turns the bitter change Of fierce extremes, extremes by change more fierce. From beds of raging fire to starve in ice...
