Side 410 - I may have but a minute to speak to you. My dear, be a good man - be virtuous - be religious - be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here.
Side 61 - I call upon the honor of your lordships, to reverence the dignity of your ancestors, and to maintain your own. I call upon the spirit and humanity of my country, to vindicate the national character.
Side 209 - What do we give to our beloved ? A little faith, all undisproved, A little dust, to overweep, And bitter memories, to make The whole earth blasted for our sake.

All his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.
Side 61 - To conclude, my lords, if the ministers thus persevere in misadvising and misleading the king, I will not say, that they can alienate the affections of his subjects from his crown ; but I will affirm, that they will make the crown not worth his wearing.
