Stran 315 - I find his Grace my very good Lord indeed ; and I believe he doth as singularly favour me as any subject within this realm. Howbeit, son Roper, I may tell thee I have no cause to be proud thereof; for if my head would win him a castle in France, it should not fail to go...
Stran 246 - Intellectual activity is incompatible with any large amount of bodily exercise. The yeoman and the scholar — the yeoman and the man of finest moral culture, though not the man of sturdiest sense and integrity — are two distinct individuals, and can never be melted or welded into one substance. Zenobia soon saw this truth, and gibed me about it, one evening, as Hollingsworth and I lay on the grass, after a hard day's work. " I am afraid you did not make a song, to-day, while loading the hay-cart,"...
Stran 343 - Henceforth to use the Book of Common Prayer in any 'public place of worship, or in any private place or family within the kingdom,' was punishable by a fine of five pounds for the first offence, ten pounds for the second, and for the third by ' one whole year's imprisonment without bail or mainprize...
Stran 445 - He makes no attempt at music. It is a kind of admirable recitative, in which every shade of thought is syllabled and dwelt upon, and the sentiment of the song goes through your blood, warming you to the very eyelids, and starting your tears, if you have a soul or sense in you. I have heard of women's fainting at a song of Moore's...
Stran 171 - Their shields before their breasts, forth at once they go, Their lances in the rest levell'd fair and low ; Their banners and their crests waving in a row, Their heads all stooping down toward the saddle-bow. The Cid was in the midst, his shout was heard afar, * I am Rui Diaz, the Champion of Bivar ; Strike amongst them, gentlemen, for sweet mercies...
Stran 347 - I went to London with my wife, to celebrate Christmas-day, Mr. Gunning preaching in Exeter chapel, on Micah vii. 2. Sermon ended, as he was giving us the Holy Sacrament, the chapel was surrounded with soldiers, and all the communicants and assembly surprised and kept prisoners by them, some in the house, others carried away. It fell to my share to be confined to a...
Stran 172 - Three hundred Moors they killed, a man with every blow. When they wheeled and turned, as many more lay slain, You might see them raise their lances, and level them again, There you might see the breast-plates, how they were cleft in twain, And many a Moorish shield lie shattered on the plain, The pennons that were white marked with a crimson stain, The horses running wild whose riders had been slain. The Christians call upon St. James, the Moors upon Mahound. There were thirteen hundred of them slain...
Stran 136 - There is not, in my opinion, in the whole compass of human affairs, so noble a spectacle as that which is displayed in the progress of jurisprudence; where we may contemplate the cautious and unwearied exertions of a succession of wise men, through a long course of ages, withdrawing every case as it arises from the dangerous power of discretion, and subjecting it to inflexible rules, — extending the dominion of justice and reason, and gradually contracting, within the narrowest possible limits,...
Stran 341 - I will have none of that; I will have one doctrine, one discipline, one religion in substance and ceremony: never speak more to that point, how far you are bound to obey.
Stran 79 - The grand result of human wisdom, is thus only a consciousness that what we know is as nothing to what we know not (" Quantum est quod nescimus ! "), an articulate confession, in fact, by our natural reason, of the truth declared in revelation, that " now we see through a glass, darkly...
