Pagina 321 - My conceit of his person was never increased towards him by his place or honours ; but I have and do reverence him, for the greatness that was only proper to himself, in that he seemed to me ever, by his work, one of the greatest men, and most worthy of admiration, that had been in many ages. In his adversity I ever prayed that God would give him strength ; for greatness he could not want.
Pagina 248 - Says, although that at your sight He must all his torches light ; Though your either cheek discloses Mingled baths of milk and roses, Though your lips be banks of blisses Where he plants and gathers kisses, And yourself the reason why, Wisest men for love may die ; You will turn all hearts to tinder, And shall make the world one cinder. And the Lady ELIZABETH HATTON'S fy the 5 Gip. Mistress of a fairer table Hath no history nor fable : Others' fortunes may be shown, You are builder of your own.
Pagina 113 - I am not servile to him, having regard to my superior's duty. I have been much bound unto him ; and, on the other side, I have spent more time and more thoughts about his well doing than ever I did about mine own.

Pagina 317 - I was the justest judge that was in England these fifty years. But it was the justest censure in Parliament that was these two hundred years.
Pagina 48 - ... in having brought forth many good thoughts for the general to be overburdened and cumbered with a care of clearing his particular estate.
Pagina 221 - I very much fear lest this act may be construed as indicative of a disposition to cut off the opportunities of remonstrance by demanding the performance of an obvious impossibility. Of course I cannot permit myself to suppose that such an intention has been entertained for a moment. Yet, on the other hand, it is not to b'e denied that, according to the terms of your lordship's note, the effect indicated must practically follow. The government of the United States acknowledges, and will, whenever...
Pagina 66 - Francis lived in the house, as his letters prove, long before his patent of Solicitor passed the Seal. It had all the points of a good country house ; a green landscape, wood and water, pure air, a dry soil, vicinity to the Court and to the town. From his windows he could peer into the Queen's alleys ; in an hour he could trot up to AVhitehall or Gray's Inn.
