Strana 119 - The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
Strana 132 - CYRIACK, this three years day these eyes, though clear, To outward view, of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot ; Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman.

Strana 117 - There is pain and tenderness on pressure of the epigastrium, anorexia, nausea on taking food, and a constant sensation of sickliness, and desire to expectorate. "The action of the heart and lungs is impaired by the influence of the narcotic on the nervous system, but a morbid state of the larynx, trachea, and lungs, results from the direct action of the smoke.
Strana 50 - ... alternately. The same phenomenon may be observed in daylight by the sportsman, when he endeavours to mark upon the monotonous heath the particular spot where moor-game has alighted. Availing himself of the slightest difference of tint in the adjacent heath, he keeps his eye steadily fixed upon it as he advances ; but whenever the contrast of illumination is feeble, he invariably loses sight of his mark ; and if the retina is again capable of taking it up, it is only to lose it a second time.
Strana 28 - Reggio, sees upon the water numberless series of pilasters, arches, castles well delineated, regular columns, lofty towers, superb palaces with balconies and windows, villages and trees, plains with herds and flocks, armies of men on foot and on horseback, all passing rapidly in succession on the surface of the sea.
