Σελίδα 211 - But when all is past, it is humbling to tread O'er the weltering field of the tombless dead, And see worms of the earth, and fowls of the air, Beasts of the forest, all gathering there ; All regarding man as their prey, All rejoicing in his decay.
Σελίδα 275 - ... losse, &c. : or with Seneca and others ; Septimus quisque annus, &c. Each seaventh year is remarkable with men, as the sixth is with weomen. Or, as divines teach ; that in the numbers of seaven there is a misticall perfection which our understandinge cannot attaine unto ; and that nature herself is observant of this number.
Σελίδα 144 - Or els at the same day bringe the uttermost of thy power, and I shall mete thee. An answere of this by writinge, as ye will abide by, according to the honour and order of Knighthood.
