Page 476 - Then leave the poor Plebeian his single tie to life — The sweet, sweet love of daughter, of sister, and of wife, The gentle speech, the balm for all that his vexed soul endures, The kiss, in which he half forgets even such a yoke as yours. Still let the maiden's beauty swell the father's breast with pride ; Still let the bridegroom's arms infold an unpolluted bride.
Page 475 - With her small tablets in her hand, and her satchel on her arm, Home she went bounding from the school, nor dreamed of shame or harm...
Page 254 - They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger ; for these pine away stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
Page 227 - ... keeps the word of promise to our ear and breaks it to our hope.
