Sida 449 - Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years ; few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their pilgrimage.
Sida 324 - When that this body did contain a spirit, A kingdom for it was too small a bound; But now two paces of the vilest earth Is room enough: this earth, that bears thee dead, Bears not alive so stout a gentleman.
Sida 390 - Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God : I am the LORD.
Sida 305 - We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good ; so find we profit, By losing of our prayers.
Sida lxx - The general character of this translation will be given, when it is said to preserve the wit, but to want the dignity, of the original.
