Side 98 - By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Side 94 - There's; one in that poor shed — One by that paltry bed — Greater than thou. Beneath that beggar's roof, Lo ! death doth keep his state : Enter — no crowds attend — Enter — no guards defend This palace gate.
