Strana 41 - I call, But with no friendly voice, and add thy name, 0 Sun, to tell thee how I hate thy beams, That bring to my remembrance from what state 1 fell, how glorious once above thy sphere, Till pride and worse ambition threw me down, Warring in Heaven against Heaven's matchless King Ah wherefore?
Strana 157 - For what is our hope or joy or crown of rejoicing ? are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming ? For ye are our glory and joy.
Strana 183 - And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little : thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Strana 42 - As great might have aspired, and me, though mean, Drawn to his part ; but other powers as great Fell not, but stand unshaken, from within Or from without, to all temptations arm'd.

Strana 246 - ... sauntering in the direction of their dormitory and their perch.
