For commonwealths, and good governments, do nourish virtue grown but do not much mend the deeds.
Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me. Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.

In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
The east is illumined and the west perfumed; fragrant with ambergris is the north, and musk-scented the south.

That the Sun-beam noted, and that all those about her save the War-leader were of the kindreds of the Wolf and the Woodland, and, still speaking softly, she said to Face-of-god: 'Gold-mane, meseemeth I am now in my wrong place; for now the Wolf raiseth up his head, but I am departing from him. Surely I should now be standing amongst my people of the Face, whereto I am going ere long.
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
