Side 127 - Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men, Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.
Side 372 - Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens : and he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant ; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
Side 403 - And where we are, our learning likewise is. Then, when ourselves we see in ladies...
Side 237 - I AM monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute ; From the centre all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
