I am he, O my Lord, who, wholly for Thy sake, hath turned his face unto Thee, and who, while acknowledging Thy power and Thy sovereignty, hath directed his steps towards Thy dearly-loved Sanctuary, and Thine adored and hallowed Court.
Rabbi Akiba, the wise and dearly-loved Jewish scholar, was taken prisoner and scourged, until he expired under his sufferings. Jerusalem was turned into a Roman colony called Aelia Capitolina, and no Jew dared appear in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem, under penalty of death.
Tell me now, my king and my dearly-loved lord, will you trust me, will you give to your most devoted servant and subject the privilege of releasing you? Do you consent to accept freedom at the hands of your Fidele?" The child threw a timid, anxious glance at Simon and his wife, and then, with a shudder, turned his head to one side. "You make no answer, sire," said Toulan, imploringly.
Then she sent for her chariot of green rushes, ornamented with May dewdrops, which she particularly valued and always collected with great care; and ordered her six short-tailed moles to carry them all back to the well-known pastures, which they did in a remarkably short time; and Sylvain and Jocosa were overjoyed to see their dearly-loved home once more after all their toilful wanderings.
We have known the unexpected avowal of love to Christ on the part of one obscure scholar set all in the class thinking on the subject of personal responsibility to God, and to His Church. And sometimes the sorrow of leaving home for the first time, or the death of a dearly-loved friend, has sufficed to arouse the question, "What must I do to be saved?"
And now Gotzkowsky seized the silver pitcher, raised it on high it had already touched his lips but suddenly he staggered back. A dearly-loved voice had called his name. Ah, it was the voice of his daughter, whom he had forgotten in the bitterness of his grief. He had believed his heart dead to all feeling, but love still lived in him, and love called him back to life.
He thought only of the dearly-loved queen and mother who had gone down into the cold, dark grave. Frederick bowed coldly to Elizabeth Christine, and took both her hands in his a short moment. "Madame," said he, "this is a sad moment. The queen my mother is missing from your side." Elizabeth Christine started painfully, and the hands which the king had released fell powerless to her side.
William Bartram gave important assistance and encouragement to the friendless Scotch pedagogue, Alexander Wilson, while the latter was preparing his American Ornithology for the press. This industrious and peaceable botanist died within the walls of his dearly-loved home a few minutes after he had penned a description of a plant. He died in 1823, in the eighty-fifth year of his age.
Esperance ran to the door and fell into the arms of that dearly-loved parent. He kissed her tenderly. His eyes were damp. "Come, come, dear, that I may tell you...." "Your lunch is ready," announced Marguerite. "Thank you," replied Esperance; "papa, mama, and I, we are all dying of hunger." Madame Darbois gently removed her daughter's hat. "Please, dear papa, I want to tell you everything."
And Ivan might have been present at the funeral of this dearly-loved old man! But he made no rebuke; for he knew that the humility of these poor creatures would never have permitted them to disturb his pleasure for one of themselves. It was, perhaps, only morbidness that Ivan should have allowed the death of Sósha, a man of eighty-four, to affect him as it did.
