Стр. 82 - A devil, a born devil, on whose nature Nurture can never stick ; on whom my pains, Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost ; And as, with age, his body uglier grows, So his mind cankers.
Стр. 115 - Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls : Who steals my purse steals trash ; 'tis something, nothing ; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands ; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed.

His flattering tongue called the girl's silliness celestial innocence, and her red, swollen cheeks he likened to the beauty of the full-blown damask rose. The end of the...
Стр. 123 - Not long before this time a severe edict against poaching had been renewed, which condemned the transgressor to the house of correction. Robert was unwearied in his attempts to...
Стр. 182 - Colonel, and he instantly made his son-in-law acquainted with bis wife's portion, which in German money might amount to thirty thousand dollars. The dissembler acted as if he wished to know nothing about the matter, and solemnly vowed that he had not, as yet, thought on such things, but had regarded only the noble qualities of his charming wife, whose pure self was dearer to him than all the treasures of the world. Upon this they sat down to table, and the father-inlaw urged and begged, that they...
