What hands are here ? ha ! they pluck out mine eyes. Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand ? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green one red.

Page 226 - More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friends? For so the whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
Page 147 - Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness ; according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Page 232 - Marvel not at this : for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth...
