Strana 144 - Of law there can be no less acknowledged than that her seat is the bosom of God, her voice the harmony of the world : all things in heaven and earth do her homage, the veiy least as feeling her care, and the greatest as not exempted from her power...
Strana 216 - Fear no more the frown o' the great, Thou art past the tyrant's stroke; Care no more to clothe, and eat; To thee the reed is as the oak: The sceptre, learning, physic, must All follow this, and come to dust.

Strana 676 - s proud and he 's great, His mind is ta'en up with the things o' the state ; He wanted a wife his braw house to keep, But favor wi' wooin
Strana 640 - How shocking!" as the case might be, and never again referred to it, for she prided herself on a trained mind, which "did not dwell on these things."
