الصفحة 246 - is more precious than rubies, and all the things thou cans't desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
الصفحة 349 - Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation ? And we indeed justly," &c. There is a passage upon the subject in one of the Fathers* so extremely beautiful and apposite to the present purpose, that I cannot help translating it—-" The penitent thief performs many
الصفحة 439 - our voices raise, And earth with her ten thousand tongues Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is thy command^ Vast as eternity thy love, Firm as a rock thy truth must stand When rolling years
الصفحة 200 - Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink, that continue until night, till wine inflame them !
