Seite 416 - Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, And in the waste " howling wilderness ; He led him about, he instructed him, He kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, Fluttereth over her young, Spreadeth abroad her wings ; Taketh them, beareth them on her wings; So the Lord alone did lead him, And there was no strange god with him.

Yours, as you demean yourself, Elizabeth.

Seite 121 - The time in which he lived had reason to lament his obstinacy of silence, 'for he was,' says Steele, 'above all men in that talent called humour, and enjoyed it in such perfection that I have often reflected, after a night spent with him apart from all the world, that I had had the pleasure of conversing with an intimate acquaintance of Terence and Catullus, who had all their wit and nature, heightened with humour more exquisite and delightful than any other man ever possessed.
