Strona 13 - Who fear'd no blows but such as bruise. His breeches were of rugged woollen, And had been at the siege of...
Strona 186 - ... it is supposed that a shrew-mouse is of so baneful and deleterious a nature, that wherever it creeps over a beast, be it horse, cow, or sheep, the suffering animal is afflicted with cruel anguish, and threatened with the loss of the use of the limb.
