Strana 17 - Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo ; down ! Thy crown does sear mine eye-balls. And thy hair, Thou other gold-bound brow, is like the first. A third is like the former. Filthy hags 1 Why do you show me this ? A fourth ! Start, eyes ! What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom? Another yet ! A seventh ! I '11 see no more : And yet the eighth appears, who bears a glass Which shows me many more ; and some I see...
Strana 66 - ... number of members, but custom dictates not less than n, and the necessity of coming to some agreement and transacting business prohibits its being much in excess of 15. The premier assigns the offices, and almost invariably takes for himself the control of finances or foreign relations — that is, first lord of the treasury or secretary of state for foreign affairs.
