Página 167 - I pluck live asunder from thy name? Nay, do not turn thy countenance upon me — It always was as a god looking at me ! Duke Wallenstein, its power is not departed : The senses still are in thy bonds, although, Bleeding, the soul hath freed itself.
Página 202 - There needs a great example to draw on The army after him.

The son secures the father to our interests— You've much in your hands at this moment.
Página 175 - do not ride to-day The dapple, as you're wont; but mount the horse Which I have chosen for thee. Do it, brother ! In love to me. A strong dream warn'd me so.
Página 331 - Yet haply there will come a weary day, When overtasked at length Both Love and Hope beneath the load give way. Then, with a statue's smile, a statue's strength, Stands the mute sister, Patience, nothing loth, And both supporting does the work of both.
