Side 313 - DEARLY beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony...
Side 233 - Lie not ; but let thy heart be true to God, Thy mouth to it, thy actions to them both. Cowards tell lies, and those that fear the rod; The stormy working soul spits lies and froth. Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie. A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby.
Side 147 - The world was sad ; the garden was a wild ! And man, the hermit, sighed, till woman smiled...

Side 21 - Furthermore, (continues he,) the study of truth is perpetually joined with the love of virtue ; for there is no virtue which derives not its original from truth ; as, on the contrary, there is no vice which has not its beginning from a lie.
Side 70 - Beside, th' experiment's more certain, Men venture necks to gain a fortune : The soldier does it every day (Eight to the week) for six-pence pay ; Your pettifoggers damn their souls, To share with knaves in cheating fools : And merchants, vent'ring through the main, Slight pirates, rocks, and horns, for gain : This is the way I advise you to, Trust me, and see what I will do. Quoth she, I should be loth to run Myself all th...
