Page 457 - The good and evil of Eternity are too ponderous for the wings of wit; the mind sinks under them in passive helplessness, content with calm belief and humble adoration.
Page 390 - Tower, having so many things in my hands to put in readiness ; but in the evening when all was ready, I sent for Mrs Mills, with whom I lodged, and acquainted her with my design of attempting my lord's escape, as there was no prospect of his being pardoned ; and this was the last night before the execution.
Page 444 - O'er groaning heaps, the dying and the dead, Vault o'er the plain, and in the tangled wood, Lo ! dead Eliza weltering in her blood ! — — Soon hears his listening son the welcome sounds, With open arms and sparkling eyes he bounds : —
