Seite 332 - Try me, good king, but let me have a lawful trial ; and let not my sworn enemies sit as my accusers and judges ; yea, let me receive an open trial, (for my truth shall fear no open shame...
Seite 194 - And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Seite 190 - But fondly overcome with female charm. Earth trembled from her entrails, as again In pangs ; and Nature gave a second groan ; Sky lour'd ; and, muttering thunder, some sad drops Wept at completing of the mortal sin Original...
