Halaman 150 - Aliens! good God! was Arthur, Duke of Wellington, in the House of Lords, — and did he not start up and exclaim, " HOLD ! I HAVE SEEN THE ALIENS DO THEiR DUTY!"

Halaman 412 - Spiritus intus alit: totamque infusa per artus ' Mens agitat molem, et magno se corpore miscet ' Inde hominum pecudumque genus vitaeque volantum ' Et quae marmoreo fert monstra sub aequore pontus.
Halaman 80 - We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons, in Parliament assembled, feel it our duty humbly to approach your Majesty's throne, to record in the most solemn manner our fixed determination to maintain unimpaired and undisturbed the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland...
