Page 157 - Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Page 394 - Stout Skippon hath a wound ; the centre hath given ground : Hark ! hark ! — What means the trampling of horsemen on our rear ? Whose banner do I see, boys ? Tis he, thank God, 'tis he, boys. Bear up another minute : brave Oliver is here.
Page 393 - Provided always, that every man or woman, of what estate or condition that he be, shall be free to set their son or daughter to take learning at any manner school that pleaseth them within the Realm.
Page 252 - Mercury, And vaulted with such ease into his seat As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds, To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
