Side 86 - Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days, and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Side 76 - Look, where he comes ! Not poppy, nor mandragora, Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world, Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep Which thou ow'dst yesterday.
Side 79 - The heart — which may be broken : happy they ! Thrice fortunate ! who of that fragile mould, The precious porcelain of human' clay, Break with the first fall : they can ne'er behold The long year link'd with heavy day on day, And all which must be borne, and never told ; ..

No consideration shall induce me to repress my feelings on this subject; no authority shall restrain me from giving full expression to those feelings.
Side 74 - In the first place, gentlemen, let me observe to you, that no greater folly, and indeed cruelty, can be committed than that of giving mercury to patients for the cure of this disease. A man who gives mercury in gonorrhoea really deserves to \>e flogged out of the profession, because he must be quite ignorant of the principles on which this disease is to be cured.
