Pagina 52 - Pensavin, aloud declare Throughout the earth, in everlasting lays, My foes against me wage inglorious war. Oh, tell them, too, that ne'er, among my crimes, Did breach of faith, deceit, or fraud appear ; That infamy will brand to latest times The insults I receive, while captive here.

Pagina 453 - ... dangerous height. Our divine Lawgiver showed his wisdom equally in what he enjoined, and what he left unnoticed. He knew exactly, what no Pagan philosopher ever knew, where to be silent and where to speak.
