Σελίδα 314 - Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself, And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice.

Σελίδα vii - Den Stoff sieht jedermann vor sich, den Gehalt findet nur der, der etwas dazu zu tun hat, und die Form ist ein Geheimnis den meisten.
Σελίδα 369 - Who reverenced his conscience as his king; Whose glory was, redressing human wrong; Who spake no slander, no, nor listen'd to it; Who loved one only and who clave to her...
