Popular passages
Page 28 - Rise the blue Franconian mountains, Nuremberg, the ancient, stands. Quaint old town of toil and traffic, quaint old town of art and song, Memories haunt thy pointed gables, like the rooks that round them throng: Memories of the Middle Ages, when the emperors, rough and bold, Had their dwelling in thy castle, time-defying, centuries old; And thy brave and thrifty burghers boasted, in their uncouth rhyme, That their great imperial city stretched its hand through every clime.
Page 94 - Justice is lame, as well as blind, amongst us ; The laws (corrupted to their ends that make them) Serve but for instruments of some new tyranny, That every day starts up, to enslave us deeper.
