Σελίδα 411 - My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man, that function Is smothered in surmise ; and nothing is, But what is not.
Σελίδα 414 - But he that is an hireling, and not the Shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Σελίδα 414 - He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Σελίδα 414 - I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Σελίδα 410 - Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair 135 And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature?
Σελίδα 340 - For sparkling fire, from hinds' unwary hands, Is often scattered o'er their unctuous rinds, And after spread abroad by raging winds : For first the smouldering flame the trunk receives; Ascending thence, it crackles in the leaves ; At length victorious to the top aspires, Involving all the wood in smoky fires ; But most, when, driven by winds, the flaming storm Of the long files destroys the beauteous form. In ashes then...
Σελίδα 294 - Then o'er the running stream or standing lake, A passage for thy weary people make ; With osier floats the standing water strow ; Of massy stones make bridges, if it flow ; That basking in the sun thy bees may lie, And, resting there, their flaggy pinions dry, When, late returning home, the laden host By raging winds is wreck'd upon the coast.
Σελίδα 67 - ... hanging loosely about her limbs ; the lower portion embroidered with flowers, and appearing beneath the shift, which has the sleeves wide and open, and the seams and edges curiously adorned with needle-work. Her vest is of silk, exactly fitted to the form of the bosom, and the shape of the body, which it rather covers than conceals, and is shorter than the shift. The sleeves button occasionally to the hand, and are lined with red or yellow satin.
Σελίδα 67 - The sleeves button occasionally to the hand, and are lined with red or yellow satin. A rich zone encompasses her waist, and is fastened before by clasps of silver gilded, or of gold set with precious stones.
