Էջ 182 - He's here in double trust; First, as I am his kinsman and his subject Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself.

Էջ 148 - Ne nous emportons point contre les hommes , en voyant leur dureté, leur ingratitude, leur injustice, leur fierté, l'amour d'eux-mêmes, et l'oubli des autres; ils sont ainsi faits, c'est leur nature : c'est ne pouvoir supporter que la pierre tombe, ou que le feu s'élève.
