"Go thou, or thou wilt be shot with many bullets. They fire at thee and I cannot stop them. I do not wish to see thee die." "Thou knowest that while thou art on the wall I cannot do what I came to do," Maïeddine said. "If they kill me here, my death will be on thy head, for I will not go without thee. Yet if thou hidest from me, I will blow up the gate."
"O Thou who hidest the sorrowing soul under the shadow of thy wings who art witness to the tears which must be hidden from all other eyes who dost listen patiently to the sighs and groans which can be breathed in no other presence to whom are freely told the griefs which the dearest earthly friend cannot comprehend, Thou who upbraidest not who understandest and dost appreciate perfectly the woes under which the stricken soul sways like a reed in the tempest, and whose infinite love and sympathy reaches to the deepest recesses of the heart unto whom none ever appealed in vain God of all grace and consolation, blessed are they who put their trust in thee."
'Verily thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.... I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. ISAIAH xlv, 15,19.
Rejoined the shepherd, "All thou sayest I deny and abhor, and all thou offerest I reject: for thou art cunning and perfidious and there is no honesty in thee nor is there honour. How much of foulness hidest thou under thy beauty, and how many a pious man hast thou seduced from his duty and made his end penitence and perdition? Avaunt from me, O thou who devotest thyself to corrupt others!"
O, thou whom my soul loveth, wherefore dost thou sit dejected, and hidest thy face all the day long? Canst thou ask the reason of my grief?
The auctioneer had in the meanwhile cast a quick comprehensive glance over his wares, throwing an admonition here, a command there. "That yellow hair let it hang, woman! do not touch it I say....

"Look at me, Lupo, ere thou answerest," cried Sir Giles. "Look at me well and take heed what thou say'st." "Be not influenced by him," interposed Charles. "Look only at me, and speak truly, as thou valuest thy safety. If thou hidest aught, or falsifiest aught, the heaviest punishment awaits thee!" "Hark ye, Lupo," said Sir Giles, in a low tone. "Be warned by me.
His face is 'the secret'; and though men may malign Him when they say, 'Verily, Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel! and He answers them, 'I have not spoken in secret' in a dark 'place of the earth, it still remains true that revelation has its mysteries born of the greatness of its effulgence, and that all which we know of God is 'dark with excess of light.
The tragedy was afterwards published entire, and is usually included in complete editions of Coleridge's poetical works. "Now, Aloof thou standest from the tottering pillar, And like a frighted child behind its mother, Hidest thy pale face in the skirts of Mercy." and "Liberty, condensed awhile, is bursting To scatter the arch-chemist in the explosion."
An Arab's brother died. "Why did he die?" one asked. "Because he lived," was the answer. "What hast thou laid up for the cold weather?" they asked a poor fellow. "Shivering," he answered. Death is the dread of the rich and the hope of the poor. Which is the best of the beasts? Woman. Hide thy virtues as thou hidest thy faults. A dwarf brought a complaint to his king.
