Pagina 120 - twixt heaven and earth Is to be made, then shall this hand and seal Witness against us to damnation ! How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Makes ill deeds done...
Pagina 153 - Caesar carelessly but nod on him. He had a fever when he was in Spain, And when the fit was on him, I did mark...
Pagina 165 - No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us : they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging.
