That good sword Tizona is in length three quarters and a half, some little more, and three full fingers wide by the hilt, lessening down to the point; and in the hollow of the sword, by the hilt, is this writing in Roman letters, Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus, and on the other side, in the same letters, I am Tizona, which was made in the era 1040, that is to say, in the year 1002.
The Oxford movement was broken, it failed; our wrecks are scattered on every shore: Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris?+ But what was it, this liberalism, as Dr. Newman saw it, and as it really broke the Oxford movement?
I recollected the witty saying of Populia, who was never unfaithful to her husband except when she was with child; "Non tollo vectorem," said she, "nisi navi plena." I felt certain that I was not loved, and the thought grieved me; and I considered that it would be unworthy of me to love one whom I could no longer hope to possess.
'Gratia plena... help a poor cripple! This was the woman babbling in her sleep, as she raised her head from the fire-place; but the man woke up suddenly and cried, 'Be quiet, silly! for the entrance door was thrown loudly open, and there pushed in among them a tall yellow-haired Jew.
It was commonly called Syringa vulgaris azurea plena, and seems to have been very rare and without real ornamental value. Lemoine, however, conceived the desirability of a combination of the doubling with the bright colors and large flower-racemes of other lilacs, and performed a series of crosses.

"Ave Maria, Gratia plena!"
So Matilda again dutifully betook her to her devotions, and began "Ave Maria gratia plena!" but the music began again, and the prayer ceased of course. "The faithful night! Now all things lie Hid by her mantle dark and dim, In pious hope I hither hie, And humbly chant mine ev'ning hymn. "Thou art my prayer, my saint, my shrine! "Virgin love!" said the Baron.
Inspired by this grand truth, behold thousands of devoted men and women, weak with human infirmity, but sustained by courage from on high, renouncing the dulcet, but transitory enjoyments of this life, to encounter, for the salvation of their souls, and of others, privation and sorrow, and painful death. Quoe terra non plena nostri laboris?
While Bernardo Tolomei was founding the Order of Monte Oliveto, Dante penned his letter to the cardinals of Italy: Quomodo sola sedet civitas plena populo: facta est quasi vidua domino gentium. Bernardo and his friends hollowed with their own hands grottos in the rock, and strewed their stone beds with withered chestnut-leaves.
The prior struck his bell, all signed themselves with a large cross, and on the left, where he could not see, for Durtal had taken the same place as in the morning, near Saint Joseph's altar, a voice arose: "Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum." And the other part of the choir answered: "Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus."
