Strana 107 - Seven years, my lord, have now past, since I waited in your outward rooms, or was repulsed from your door ; during which time I have been pushing on my work through difficulties, of which it is useless to complain, and have brought it, at last, to the verge of publication, without one act of assistance,l one word of encouragement, or one smile of favour.

Strana 214 - HAIL to the crown by Freedom shaped — to gird An English Sovereign's brow ! and to the throne Whereon he sits ! Whose deep foundations lie In veneration and the people's love ; Whose steps are equity, whose seat is law.
Strana 32 - Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care ; what is to be done for thee ? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
Strana 278 - Be not the first by whom the new is tried, nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
