Página 15 - That, in the Chamber of Stars, All matters - there he mars. Clapping his rod on the board, No man dare speak a word ! For he hath all the saying, Without any renaying. He rolleth in his records. He saith, ' How say ye, my Lords ! Is not my reason good ? ' ' Good even, good ROBIN HOOD ! ' Some say ' Yes ! ' ; and some Sit still, as they were dumb...
Página 88 - In short, so nearly do the rites coincide, that were the pagan high-priest to come back and reassume his functions, he would only have to learn a few new names ; to get the mass, the Paters, and the Aves by heart ; which would be much easier to him, as they are in a language he understands ; but which his modern successors often are ignorant of.
