Σελίδα 180 - t; I have use for it. Go, leave me. — (Exit Emilia). I will in Cassio's lodging lose this napkin, And let him find it. Trifles, light as air, Are to the jealous confirmations strong As proofs of Holy Writ.
Σελίδα 467 - THE CONDITION of the above obligation is such, that if the above bounden James Wilson and Thomas Ash their heirs, executors, or administrators, shall well and truly pay or cause to be paid, unto the above named John Pickens his executors, administrators, or assigns, the just and full sum of Here insert the condition.
Σελίδα 293 - Our inclinations are not in our power, nor should either of us be held answerable to the other because nature has not made us suitable to each other. Tranquil and comfortable society is, however, in our power ; let our intercourse, therefore, be restricted to that...
