الصفحة 206 - And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom!
الصفحة 177 - I come, as it were, to make up my account with you, let me take to myself some degree of honest pride on the nature of the charges that are against me.

The objects of their love are, perhaps, of equal beauty, though they greatly differ in their air, their dress, the turn of their features, and their complexion. On one side are the lovers and imitators of Spenser and Milton ; and on the other, those of Dryden, Boileau, and Pope.
الصفحة 16 - ... of forest laws imported from the continent, whereby the slaughter of a beast was made almost as penal as the death of a man. In the Saxon times, though no man was allowed to kill or chase the king's deer, yet he might start any game, pursue and kill it upon his own estate.
