Страница 102 - Use exercise of body, but such as is without peril of your joints or bones ; it will increase your force and enlarge your breath. " Delight to be cleanly, as well in all parts of your body as in your garments ; it shall make you grateful in each company, and otherwise, loathsome. " Give yourself to be merry ; for you degenerate from your father, if you find not yourself most able in wit and body to do anything when you be most merry.
Страница 101 - Let your first action be the lifting up of your mind to Almighty God by hearty prayer, and feelingly digest the words you speak in prayer with continual meditation, and thinking of Him to whom you pray, and of the matter for which you pray.
Страница 102 - Above all things, tell no untruth — no, not in trifles. The custom of it is naughty ; and let it not satisfy you, that for a time the hearers take it for a truth ; for after it will be known as it is, to your shame ; for there cannot be a greater reproach to a gentleman than to be accounted a liar.
Страница 107 - He that has light within his own clear breast May sit i' the centre, and enjoy bright day, But he that hides a dark soul, and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the midday sun; Himself is his own dungeon.

Страница 75 - Sir, during that state of things Parliament was not idle. They attempted to subdue the fierce spirit of the Welsh by all sorts of rigorous laws. They prohibited by statute the sending all sorts of arms into Wales, as you prohibit by proclamation (with something more of doubt on the legality) the sending arms to America.
Страница 76 - The march of the human mind is slow. Sir, it was not until after two hundred years discovered that, by an eternal law, Providence had decreed vexation to violence, and poverty to rapine. Your ancestors did, however, at length open their eyes to the ill husbandry of injustice.
Страница 106 - Comus is a suite of Speeches, not interesting by discrimination of character ; not conveying a variety of incidents, nor gradually exciting curiosity : but perpetually attracting attention by sublime sentiment, by fanciful imagery of the richest vein, by an exuberance of picturesque description, poetical allusion, and ornamental expression.
Страница 71 - ... flesh whatsoever : for which yet you have cast me into many calamities, and yourself into many troubles. — But I forgive you all, and pray God to do so likewise. For the rest, I commend unto you Mary our daughter, beseeching you to be a good father to her, .as I have heretofore desired.
Страница 132 - The warrior captive pressed the stones, And lonely breathed unheeded moans, Despairing of the morn.
