Seite 32 - Exacts severity from all our thoughts : It is not now a time to talk of aught But chains or conquest, liberty or death.
Seite 20 - His counsels bade me yield to thy directions: Then, Syphax, chide me in severest terms, Vent all thy passion, and I'll stand its shock, Calm and unruffled as a summer sea, When not a breath of wind flies o'er its surface.
