Sida 87 - ... in them is the confidence of the dove in the kite. If they have no children they bestow a supposed offspring, that they may inherit the dowry which belongs only to mothers. What you love the most, their arts will cause you to hate ; and when they have filled up the measure of their iniquity, they laugh at their disorders, and justify their guilt.
Sida 177 - Now who shall compute the stupefying and brutalizing effects of such a religion? Who will dare say that a principle which so debases reason is not like bands of iron around the expanding heart and struggling limbs of modern freedom?

Sida 74 - Of accident disastrous. Hence the limbs Knit into force; and the same Roman arm, That rose victorious o'er the conquer'd earth, First learn'd, while tender, to subdue the wave. Even, from the body's purity, the mind Receives a secret sympathetic aid.
Sida 95 - Lovely sex. too prone to change; Alas! what man can trust your charms, ' Or seek his safety in your arms." The Spaniards are about the most gallant people of modern nations.
