Sayfa 305 - And certes, in fair Virtue's heavenly road, The cottage leaves the palace far behind. What is a lordling's pomp? a cumbrous load, Disguising oft the wretch of human kind, Studied in arts of hell, in wickedness refined.
Sayfa 117 - ... the lord rade, and the foal slade; he lighted, and he righted, set joint to joint, bone to bone, and sinew to sinew, heal in the holy ghost's name!
Sayfa 114 - Gillicattan genealogy is given in the 1467 MS., and, such as it is, it has no semblance to the Macpherson list. The fact is that the Macpherson list previous to Ewan, father of Andrew, is purely traditional and utterly unreliable. The honest historian of Moray, Lachlan Shaw, says — " I cannot pretend to give the names of the representatives before the last century. I know that in 1660 Andrew was laird of Clunie, whose son, Ewan, was father of Duncan, who died in 1722 without male issue." By means...
Sayfa 576 - It is with much regret that we have to record the death of Mr Duncan Mackintosh, Secretary to the Society since 1886.
Sayfa 117 - Thumb! thumb! thumb! in spittle we steep: Crosses three we make to ease us, Two for the thieves, and one for Christ Jesus.
Sayfa 595 - It were better for you to confess to our true God, than to inquire concerning our race.
Sayfa 520 - I pray you, speak not ; he grows worse and worse; Question enrages him : at once, good night : — Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.
Sayfa 487 - Every one who is black-haired, who is a tattler, guileful, tale-telling, noisy, contemptible, every wretched, mean, strolling, unsteady, harsh, and inhospitable person, every slave, every mean thief, every churl, every one who loves not to listen to music and entertainment, the disturbers of every council and every assembly, and the promoters of discord among people, these are of the descendants of the Firbolg, of the Gailiuns, of Liogairne, and of the Fir Domhnann in Erin.
Sayfa 118 - For the antiquity of these and like incantations we may appeal to ancient Chaldea, the land of Magic. Fortunately, a considerable body of incantations has been preserved in the cuneiform inscriptions, and of these one specimen must suffice : — Painful fever, violent fever, The fever which never leaves man, Unremitting fever, The lingering fever, malignant fever, Spirit of the heavens, conjure it ! Spirit of the Earth conjure it ! Among the Aryan nations, ancient and modern, the belief in incantations...
Sayfa 177 - The helmet of Salvation about your head, The ring of the Covenant about your neck, The priest's breastplate about your breast; If it be rout on the rear, The shoes of the Virgin to take you swiftly away. Charm of the Three in one on you From crown of head to sole of foot, And the charm of the pater of the seven paters A-going anti-sunwise and sunwise, sunwise and anti-sunwise, To protect you from behind, From wound and from slaying, Till the hour and time of your death.
