Сторінка 84 - And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.

Сторінка 85 - If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him : Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin By wishing a curse to his soul.
Сторінка 67 - These (every table cleans'd, and every throne, And all the melancholy labour done) Drive to yon court, without the palace wall, There the revenging sword shall smite them all ; So with the suitors let them mix in dust, Stretch'd in a long oblivion of their lust.
Сторінка 169 - ... composure in the one, and all the warmth, hurry, and tumult in the other, which the subject of either required: both of them had been imperfect, if they had not been as they are. And let the painter or poet be young or old, who designs...
