Стр. 351 - Thus was this place, A happy rural seat of various view : Groves whose rich trees wept odorous gums and balm; Others whose fruit, burnished with golden rind, Hung amiable — Hesperian fables true, If true, here only — and of delicious taste.

Стр. 174 - May he preserve their kingdom, and fill their chiefs with the light of his grace ! May he protect their army ; may he give them signs which shall bear witness to their faith, awarding unto them joys of peace and an entire felicity ! May the Lord Jesus Christ direct in the ways of piety those who govern !

Стр. 335 - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick ; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
