I would have no such imputation. I fear not Death ! Death is not terrible to me. I bless my God I am prepared.
Trang 337 - ... natural relations, — and this was the only sign of emotion which she evinced. Her manner to them was very graceful and engaging; she kissed them both, and rose from her chair and moved towards the Duke of Sussex, who was farthest from her, and too infirm to reach her.

Trang 156 - Inspired repulsed battalions to engage, And taught the doubtful battle where to rage. So when an angel, by divine command, With rising tempests shakes a guilty land (Such as of late o'er pale Britannia passed), Calm and serene he drives the furious blast ; And, pleased the Almighty's orders to perform. Rides in the whirlwind and directs the storm.
Trang 232 - I thank you heartily, my Lord, for that. I had almost forgotten it. In troth, Sirs, my conscience in religion, I think, is very well known to all the world, and therefore I declare before you all that I die a Christian according to the profession of the Church of England, as I found it left me by my father.
Trang 226 - Twelfth night, in the dead time of the night, shot off all the chambers ' they had borrowed from the Tower, being as many as filled four carts. The king, awakened with this noise, started out of his bed, and cried,
