Strana 324 - Almighty God, with whom do live the spirits of just men made perfect, after they are delivered from their earthly prisons ; We humbly commend the soul of this thy servant, our dear brother, into thy hands, as into the hands of a faithful Creator, and most merciful Saviour ; most humbly beseeching thee, that it may be precious in thy sight.
Strana 336 - Ah ! if sensibility should lead you more thoughtfully to retrace them, check every painful emotion, by recollecting that I shall then be past the power of suffering. — Yet, when your noble father reconducts you to the home you was born to embellish, grant a little to the weakness of mortality, and linger once more on the spot where we met : the pious De Vere will there attend your coming. — Accept from his hand the casket I bequeath, and suffer him to lead you to the nameless grave where he shall...

So pure, so perfect, is now my grateful tranquillity, that it seems proof even against misfortune itself. — No more shall my beating heart — my burning brain — but why should I revert to such dismal recollections? Embosomed in the maternal arms of nature; safe in the obscure and solitary situation of this ivied asylum, here my affrighted soul, like a scared...
