Side 72 - Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe, Bold I can meet, perhaps may turn his blow ; But of all plagues, good heaven, thy wrath can send, Save, save, oh ! save me from the candid friend.
Side 18 - All I seek to ascertain is whether his present policy be just, necessary, expedient ; whether at the present moment he is prepared to serve the country according to its present necessities.
Side 100 - Now, sir, the Lord High Admiral on that occasion was very much misrepresented. He, too, was called a traitor, and he, too, vindicated himself.
