Σελίδα 149 - Attend my song, and thou shalt know them all ; And know thyself; and know thyself to be (Strange truth !) the most abstemious man alive.
Σελίδα 56 - As wise as Socrates, might justly stand The definition of a modern fool. A Christian is the highest style of man : And is there, who the blessed cross wipes off...
