Página 104 - Cromwell, Cromwell, Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies.
Página 142 - The whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Página 107 - Thou shalt seek the beach of sand Where the water bounds the elfin land; Thou shalt watch the oozy brine Till the sturgeon leaps in the bright moonshine.

By that blue arch, this beauteous earth Mid evening's hour of dewy mirth Seems bound unto the sky.
