Stran 208 - And to his robbery had annex'd thy breath ; But, for his theft, in pride of all his growth A vengeful canker eat him up to death. More flowers I noted, yet I none could see But sweet or colour it had stol'n from thee.
Stran 136 - So they took the money, and did as they were taught; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
