الصفحة 241 - But he shall receive an hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
الصفحة 438 - I prithee, take thy fingers from my throat ; For though I am not splenitive and rash Yet have I something in me dangerous, Which let thy wiseness fear.
