Strana 114 - AB am now entitled to bite, cut, suck, or otherwise eat the same orange, or give the same away, with or without its rind, skin, juice, pulp...
Strana 83 - Oh for a forty-parson power (') to chant Thy praise, Hypocrisy ! Oh for a hymn Loud as the virtues thou dost loudly vaunt, Not practise ! Oh for...
