Halaman 33 - Atticus, whose great talents were usury and trimming, who placed his principal merit in being rich, and who would have been noted with infamy at Athens, for keeping well with all sides, and venturing on none:* even Atticus, blushed for Tully, and the most plausible man alive assumed the style of Cato.
Halaman 29 - If there be one who need bemoan His kindred laid in earth, The household hearts that were his own; It is the man of mirth. 'My days, my Friend, are almost gone, My life has been approved, And many love me! but by none Am I enough beloved.
