88. lappuse - Put the case now your whoreson bailiff comes, Shows me his writ — I, standing thus, d'ye mark me, In the sun's stream, measuring my distance, guide My focus to a point upon his writ, And off it goes in fumo!
191. lappuse - Gengis-Khan, qui ont dévasté l'Asie; et nous verrons que nous devons au christianisme, et dans le gouvernement un certain droit politique, et dans la guerre un certain droit des gens, que la nature humaine ne saurait assez reconnaître.
42. lappuse - Mceotis' lake, Hear me, yet hear, and thus invok'd approach ! Chorus of Clouds. (The scene is at the remotest part of the stage. Thunder is heard. A large and, shapeless Cloud is seen floating in the air; from which the following song is heard...
272. lappuse - I'll strip the ragged follies of the time Naked as at their birth . . . and with a whip of steel Print wounding lashes in their iron ribs.
139. lappuse - Mark here how rarely it succeeds To build our trust on guilty deeds: Mark how this old cajoling elf, Who sets a trap to catch himself, Falsely believes he has found the way To hold his creditors at bay. Too late he'll curse the Sophists' school, That taught his son to cheat by rule, And train'd the modest lips of youth In the vile art of torturing truth; A modern logic much in use, Invented for the law's abuse; A subtle knack of spying flaws To cast in doubt the clearest cause, Whereby, in honesty's...
37. lappuse - Sublime in air, Sublime in thought I carry my mind with me, Its cogitations all assimilated To the pure atmosphere, in which I float ; Lower me to earth, and my mind's subtle powers, Seiz'd by contagious...
91. lappuse - I laugh To hear a child prate of such old men's fables ; But list to what I'll tell you, learn of me, And from a child you shall become a man — But keep the secret close, do you mark me, close ; Beware of babbling.
55. lappuse - Would these escape? Why, man, Jove's random fires strike his own fane, Strike Sunium's guiltless top, strike the dumb oak, Who never yet broke faith or falsely swore. STREPS. It may be so, good sooth! You talk this well: But I would fain be taught the natural cause Of these appearances.
15. lappuse - Not so, my boy, but thou shalt drive thy goats, When thou art able, from the fields of Phelle, Clad in a woollen jacket like thy father: But he is deaf to all these frugal rules, And drives me on the gallop to my ruin; Therefore all night I call my thoughts to council, And after long debate find one chance left, To which if I can lead him, all is safe, If not — but soft: 'tis time that I should wake him. But how to soothe him to the task — [speaking in a soft gentle tone.] Pheidippides ! Precious...
59. lappuse - Starve it with thirst and hunger, fry it, freeze it, Nay, flay the very skin off; 'tis their own ; So that I may but fob my creditors, Let the world talk ; I care not though it call me A bold-faced, loud-tongued, overbearing bully ; A shameless, vile, prevaricating cheat ; A tricking, quibbling, double-dealing knave ; A prating, pettifogging limb o...
