Страница 263 - I will go back to the great sweet mother, Mother and lover of men, the sea. I will go down to her, I and none other, Close with her, kiss her and mix her with me ; Cling to her, strive with her, hold her fast ; O fair white mother, in days long past Born without sister, born without brother, Set free my soul as thy soul is free.

Страница 166 - I must do it justice ; it was a complete system, full of coherence and consistency ; well digested, and well com-, posed in all its parts. It was a machine of wise and elaborate contrivance ; and as well fitted for the oppression, impoverishment, and degradation of a people, and the debasement, in them, of human nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted ingenuity of man.

Страница 172 - There have been divers good plots devised, and wise counsels cast already about reformation of that realm ; but they say it is the fatal destiny of that land that no purposes whatsoever which are meant for her good will prosper or take good effect...
