Strana 60 - And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Strana 67 - When the pangs of death assail me, Weep not for me : Christ is mine, — He cannot fail me, — Weep not for me. Yes! though sin and doubt endeavour From His love my soul to sever, Jesus is my strength for ever ; Weep not for me.
Strana 65 - And hail'd thee the heir of thy father's high name ! But now, with remorse that avails not, I mourn thee, Forsaken and friendless as soon thou wilt be ; In a world, if it cannot betray, that will scorn thee — Avenging the guilt of thy mother on thee. And when the dark thought...

Strana 3 - Orphea silvae, arte materna rapidos morantem fluminum lapsus celeresque ventos, blandum et auritas fidibus canoris ducere quercus? quid prius dicam solitis parentis laudibus, qui res hominum ac deorum, qui mare et terras variisque mundum temperat horis?
Strana 66 - And when the dark thought of my fate shall awaken The deep blush of shame on thy innocent cheek; When by all but the God of the orphan forsaken, A home and a father in vain thou...
Strana 79 - Oh Death ! where is thy sting ? Oh Grave ! where is thy victory ? The sting of Death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.
