Strana 72 - Tarry a little ; there is something else. This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood ; The words expressly are ' a pound of flesh : ' Take then thy bond, take thou thy pound of flesh ; But, in the cutting it, if thou dost shed One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods Are, by the laws of Venice, confiscate Unto the state of Venice.
Strana 1 - We must not make a scare-crow of the law, ' Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror.
Strana 31 - Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay: Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade; A breath can make them, as a breath has made: But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
Strana 21 - ... em as much victuals as ever they can eat.' It should, however, be observed that we detected a clause in this Act which it is only fair should be explained. It is very true, that the ploughman in the •workhouse receives as much as ever he can eat — ' Provided always,' says the unwritten code, ' that he clears his plate before he asks for more.'

Strana 19 - In one large room are found sitting in silence a group of motionless wornout men ' with age grown double,' but neither ' picking dry sticks' nor ' mumbling to themselves.' With nothing to do — with nothing to cheer them — with nothing in this world to hope for — with nothing to fear — gnarled into all sorts of attitudes, they look more like pieces of ship-timber than men. In another room are seen huddled together in similar attitudes a number of old exhausted women, clean, tidy, but speechless...
Strana 18 - delightfully situate," and fit for the residence of a " county member" or " NOBLEMAN OF RANK." Modestly retired from the road, it yet proudly overlooks a meandering stream, and the dignity of its elevation, the elegant chasteness of its architecture, the massive structure of its walls, its broad double staircase, its spacious halls, its lofty bed-rooms, and its large windows, form altogether
