187 ページ - To murder you, my most gracious lord ! Far is it from my heart to do you harm. The queen sent me to see how you were...
174 ページ - Commit not to my youth things of more weight Than fits a prince so young as I to bear, And fear not, lord and father, Heaven's great beams On Atlas' shoulder shall not lie more safe, Than shall your charge committed to my trust.
252 ページ - Rather had I a Jew be hated thus, Than pitied in a Christian poverty : For I can see no fruits in all their faith, But malice, falsehood, and excessive pride, Which methinks fits not their profession.
