| 11397 | That he delights in the misery of others, no man will confess, and yet what other motive can make a father cruel? |
| 11397 | The cosmetick science was exhausted upon me; but who can repair the ruins of nature? |

| 10352 | But how is our present conduct agreeable to these principles? |
| 10352 | But how much greater means for such a purpose, would an alternative like this afford? |
| 10352 | But how, my lords, shall that monarch distinguish the interest of his people, whom none shall dare to approach with information? |
| 10352 | But of the present scheme, what effect can be expected but ignominy and shame, disgrace abroad, and beggary at home? |
| 10352 | But what advantages can our ministers boast of having obtained in twenty years by the means of their intelligence? |
| 10352 | But what securities, my lords, are provided against the same evil in the bill before us? |
| 10352 | But when this law is repealed, and every street and alley has a shop licensed to distribute this delicious poison, what can we expect? |
| 10352 | But when, my lords, did any two actions, however common, agree in every circumstance? |
| 10352 | But, my lords, in order to discover whether this consequence be necessary, it must first be inquired why the present law is of no force? |
| 10352 | But, my lords, let us at last inquire to what it is to be imputed, that the present law swells the statute book to no purpose? |
| 10352 | Can duties be paid without consumption of the commodity on which they are laid? |
| 10352 | Did they not even refuse to march? |
| 10352 | Did they suffer the queen of Hungary to be oppressed, only to show their own power and affluence by relieving her? |
| 10352 | Do you intend to support the Pragmatick sanction? |
| 10352 | First, whether they are_ as cheap_ as any other forces we can hire? |
| 10352 | For how can any one prove that he has a claim to the indemnity? |
| 10352 | For how can it be conceived that the Spaniards could have formed any real design of besieging port Mahon? |
| 10352 | For to what purpose will it be to require their presence at a time at which we know it is impossible for them to comply with our orders? |
| 10352 | For what end auxiliaries are hired, and why our armies are transported into Flanders? |
| 10352 | For what, my lords, encourages any man to a crime but security from punishment, or what tempts him to the commission of it but frequent opportunity? |
| 10352 | For what, my lords, must be the consequence, if this motion should be complied with? |
| 10352 | For when did any man hear, that a commodity was prohibited by licensing its sale? |
| 10352 | Have we destroyed the fleets of our enemies, fired their towns, and laid their fortresses in ruins? |
| 10352 | He may, indeed, make some discoveries, but whether he does not conceal something, who can determine? |
| 10352 | How could you prevent an understanding of this kind between two courts? |
| 10352 | How cruel must all impartial spectators of the publick transactions account a prosecution like this? |
| 10352 | How have any of his assertions been invalidated, or any of his reasons eluded? |
| 10352 | How shall their privileges be supported, if when they are infringed, no man will complain? |
| 10352 | If it be asked, what is farther to be expected from these troops? |
| 10352 | If the abundance of our riches be such as it has been represented, why are no measures formed for the payment of the publick debts? |
| 10352 | If the consumption of distilled spirits is to be hindered, how is the distillery to remain uninjured? |
| 10352 | If the intention of cruising ships is to annoy the enemies of the nation, ought they to be deprived of the liberty of pursuing them? |
| 10352 | If the trade of distilling is not to be impaired, what shall hinder the consumption of spirits? |
| 10352 | If these maxims were once generally understood, from how much perplexity would our councils be set free? |
| 10352 | If they are innocent, and far be it from me to declare them guilty without examination, whom will this inquiry injure? |
| 10352 | If we conquered at Ramillies, were we not in our turn beaten at Almanza? |
| 10352 | If we destroyed the French ships, was it not always with some loss of our own? |
| 10352 | If, therefore, our assistance be an act of honesty, and granted in consequence of treaties, why may it not equally be required of Hanover? |
| 10352 | If, therefore, this bill be considered and amended,( for why else should it be considered?) |
| 10352 | In the late war with France, of which the conduct has been so lavishly celebrated, did no designs miscarry? |
| 10352 | In what terms would they have expressed their gratitude for victory, who are thus thankful for disappointments and disgrace?" |
| 10352 | Is any lord in this assembly willing that this nation should assist the queen of Hungary at the annual expense of sixteen hundred thousand pounds? |
| 10352 | Is any lord in this assembly willing to assist the queen of Hungary at the expense of sixteen hundred thousand a year? |
| 10352 | Is it your intention to restore the house of Austria to the full enjoyment of its former greatness? |
| 10352 | Is there a gentleman in this house, who is not convinced that this power has been warped, for some time past, towards the interest of France? |
| 10352 | It has been asked also, how any man can ascertain his claim to the indemnity? |
| 10352 | It has been asked, why the troops of Hanover were preferred to those of any other nation? |
| 10352 | It has, with regard to these troops, been asked by the noble lord who spoke last, what is the intent of this motion but to disband them? |
| 10352 | May not a man, from want of memory, or presence of mind, omit something at his examination which he may appear afterwards to have known? |
| 10352 | May not such reserves be suspected, when his answers shall not satisfy the expectations of his interrogators? |
| 10352 | May they not be easily satisfied with informations of one man, and incessantly press another to farther discoveries? |
| 10352 | Nay, are not we morally certain that our nearest, most natural ally, disavows the proceeding, and refuses to cooperate with us? |
| 10352 | Next to the consideration of our inward domestick strength, what foreign assistances have we to justify this measure? |
| 10352 | Next, whether they are as properly_ situated_? |
| 10352 | Or by whom have they, within that period, not been deceived by false appearances? |
| 10352 | Or how shall we assist the queen of Hungary, by collecting forces which dare not act against the only enemy which she has now to fear? |
| 10352 | Or whether they are not unconnected with the principal question, and therefore insidious and dangerous? |
| 10352 | Or why should the elector of Hanover exert his liberality at the expense of Britain? |
| 10352 | Or why should we imagine that this law will be executed with less opposition than the last? |
| 10352 | Sir, is it not natural for every one of us to guard our vital parts, rather than our more remote members? |
| 10352 | That our design against Carthagena was defeated, can not be denied; but what war has been one continued series of success? |
| 10352 | The next question that occurs, is, in what degree we ought to do it, and whether we should do it with our whole force? |
| 10352 | The provision against the crime of wilfully springing a mast, is at least useless; for when did any man admit that he sprung his mast by design? |
| 10352 | The question being then put, Whether the bill should be committed? |
| 10352 | Then, whether they are_ as good_? |
| 10352 | They think an army useless which gains no victories, and ask to what purpose the sword is drawn, if the blood of their enemies is not to be shed? |
| 10352 | This crowd of transactions, so different in their nature, so various in their consequences, who can venture to approve in the gross? |
| 10352 | Was it necessary to form an army to do nothing? |
| 10352 | Was it probable that they would have sent an army, in defenceless transports, into the jaws of the British fleet? |
| 10352 | We come now to consider, whether the Hanoverian troops should be made part of that force? |
| 10352 | What are our views in supporting the queen of Hungary? |
| 10352 | What but to be the first that shall destroy the constitution of the government, and give up that liberty which our ancestors established? |
| 10352 | What can be the opinion of the publick, when they see an address of this house, by which new expenses are recommended? |
| 10352 | What consequence can such declarations of our designs produce, but that of informing our enemies what force they ought to provide against us? |
| 10352 | What effect can be expected from this bill, but that of exposing them to temptations, by placing unlawful pleasures in their view? |
| 10352 | What else, indeed, can be intended by it, and what intention can be more worthy of this august assembly? |
| 10352 | What has the war produced in its whole course from one year to another, but defeats, losses, and ignominy? |
| 10352 | What is it but to enact that the ships shall be stationed in time of war as the commissioners of the admiralty shall determine and direct? |
| 10352 | What is this, my lords, but once more to vote ourselves useless? |
| 10352 | What is this, my lords, but to continue to the admiralty the power which has been always executed? |
| 10352 | What man can doubt, who knows the attention of his majesty to military discipline? |
| 10352 | What method could be devised by such a minister himself, to do the job more excellent than this? |
| 10352 | What then can we suppose was the reason, that neither indignation, nor integrity, nor resentment, ever before directed a motion like this? |
| 10352 | What then, my lords, is to be done? |
| 10352 | What, my lords, do we_ hold_, or what have we_ taken_? |
| 10352 | When I hear it asked by the noble lords, what effects have been produced by our armaments and expenses? |
| 10352 | When we hired these troops in the last instance, did they not deceive us? |
| 10352 | Where, my lords, can it be expected that malice like this will find an end? |
| 10352 | Why forces unacquainted with the use of arms were sent against them, under the command of leaders equally ignorant? |
| 10352 | Why should we imagine, that they anticipated every contingency, and left nothing for succeeding ages? |
| 10352 | Why we did not rescue our sailors from captivity, when opportunities of exchange were in our power? |
| 10352 | Why were not our troops sent which have been so long maintained at home only for oppression and show? |
| 10352 | Why, my lords, should less be bought now than formerly? |
| 10352 | Will any lord say that they have marched? |
| 10352 | Will not the bill give an apparent opportunity for partiality? |
| 10352 | With this view, my lords, it has been asked, why the Hanoverians are preferred to all other nations? |
| 10352 | Would gentlemen advise the hire of Prussian troops to serve us in this conjuncture? |
| 10352 | Would not all the officers and mariners on board the ship see that such a thing was wilfully done? |
| 10352 | Would not every man immediately discover, that the witnesses were bribed, and therefore they would deserve no credit? |
| 10352 | Would not they cry out--"You are springing the mast,"and prevent it, or discover the crime, and demand punishment? |
| 10352 | Would not this have been generally asserted, and generally believed? |
| 10352 | Would she not leave Flanders to shift for itself, or still to be taken care of by the Dutch and Britain? |
| 10352 | Would they act at their own expense, would they exert their own proper force? |
| 10352 | Would they pay their own troops in aid of the common cause, when they found this nation ready to do it for them? |
| 10352 | Yet what was the effect, my lords, of all this diligence and vigour? |
| 10352 | [ The speaker then put the question in form,"Is it your lordships''pleasure, that the third reading of the bill be put off for five days?" |
| 10352 | _ Shall we hire_ Danes? |
| 10352 | _ Shall we then hire_ Saxons? |
| 10352 | _ That they are as good_, what man can doubt, who knows the character of the German nation? |
| 10352 | and how can they be known, or at least, how can they be remembered in the heats of drunkenness? |
| 10352 | and is there any other use of spirituous liquors than that of drinking them? |
| 10352 | and lastly, whether the Hanoverian troops should be made a part of that force? |
| 10352 | and whether the means that have already been used, deserve our approbation? |
| 10352 | and why this pernicious trade is carried on with confidence and security, in opposition to the law? |
| 10352 | how many thousands of our fellow- subjects would be preserved from slaughter? |
| 10352 | if you should unhappily fall into the fire, would you caution your servants not to pull you out but by degrees? |
| 10352 | leisure, that at length they may securely set us at defiance, and plunder our merchants without fear of vengeance? |
| 10352 | nay, farther, are they not in all appearance now upon the point of being employed in a quarrel of their own? |
| 10352 | or can it be imagined, that pity has prevailed over policy or cowardice? |
| 10352 | or that to offer and refuse is the same action? |
| 10352 | or with what propriety can we assume the title of legislators, if we are to pass a bill like this without examination? |
| 10352 | out of so vast a grant? |
| 10352 | then, whether we ought to do it with our whole force? |
| 10352 | to this expense what limits can be set? |
| 10352 | what but the immediate ruin of the house of Austria, by which the French ambition has been so long restrained? |
| 10352 | what but the total destruction of the whole system of power which has been so laboriously formed and so strongly compacted? |
| 10352 | what might she not be able to do with a million more? |
| 10352 | what, but an inclination to aggrandize and enrich a contemptible province, and to deck with the plunder of Britain the electorate of Hanover? |
| 10352 | when is there to be an end of paying troops who are not to march against our enemies? |
| 10352 | why should they endeavour to intercept their existence, or suffer them to exist only to be wretched? |
| 10352 | why should they endeavour to torture their limbs with pains, and load their lives with the guilt of their parents? |
| 10352 | why should they hinder that trade to which they must owe all the comforts which plenty affords? |
| 10352 | why they have been selected from all other troops, to fight, against France, the cause of Europe? |
| 10351 | And as the character of the British merchants exempts them from any suspicion of practices pernicious to the publick, why should they be restrained? |
| 10351 | And do not the officers receive a reward which their service can not deserve? |
| 10351 | And for what other purpose, my lords, should such a change of our style be proposed? |
| 10351 | And how has any man been originally prejudiced against the present minister? |
| 10351 | And if the arguments which arise from success are equal on both sides, ought not the necessity of saving the publick money to turn the balance? |
| 10351 | And if we are thus obliged to form new schemes, must we not impute the defeat of the former to our own imprudent zeal, or unseasonable curiosity? |
| 10351 | And is it not possible that by one interruption upon another, our measures may be delayed, till they shall be ineffectual? |
| 10351 | And is it probable that the queen would have preferred money for troops, had she not been informed that it would be more easily obtained? |
| 10351 | And is not the chief question at a trial the past conduct of the person at the bar? |
| 10351 | And is not the owner''s fortune equally impaired, whether the ship is dashed upon a rock, or seized by a privateer? |
| 10351 | And shall our sailors lose the reward of their hazards and their labours, only because they have been successful? |
| 10351 | And that, therefore, it is prudent for every man, who can judge only upon the authority of others, to suspend his opinion? |
| 10351 | And what answer, sir, can we return to such remonstrances, unless this motion be agreed to? |
| 10351 | And what consequence but total ruin can arise from the prosecution of measures, by which we are already reduced to penury and contempt? |
| 10351 | And what consequences have they produced? |
| 10351 | And what is an army without discipline, subordination, and obedience? |
| 10351 | And what reason, sir, can be assigned, why that which is criminal in one man, should be innocent in another? |
| 10351 | And who will expect that those will defend their allies, who desert themselves? |
| 10351 | And yet, my lords, it is inquired why the people assert that there is a_ sole_ minister? |
| 10351 | Are the determinations of the judges set in opposition to the decrees of the senate? |
| 10351 | Are they bargemen or watermen, who ply on rivers and transport provision or commodities from one inland town to another? |
| 10351 | Are they to sit at ease only because they are idle, or to be distinguished with indulgence only for want of deserving it? |
| 10351 | Are we to confess that we have now for two sessions voted in the dark, and approved what we were not suffered to examine and understand? |
| 10351 | Are_ seafaring_ men those only who navigate in the_ sea_? |
| 10351 | As our need of seamen, sir, is immediate, why should not a law for their encouragement immediately operate? |
| 10351 | But if this objection could be surmounted by severity and vigilance, would not this expedient help to defeat the general intention of the bill? |
| 10351 | But of this boundless usurpation, my lords, what proof has been laid before you? |
| 10351 | But what are fleets unfurnished with men? |
| 10351 | But what interest can be gratified by a man who is not master of his own actions, nor secure in the enjoyment of his acquisitions? |
| 10351 | But what reason, sir, can be assigned for which it must be more difficult to supply the fleet now with sailors than at any other time? |
| 10351 | But what, sir, have those urged in defence of their own opinions, who so freely animadvert upon the reasonings of others? |
| 10351 | But which of your lordships will affirm, that this is now the state of Europe? |
| 10351 | But, my lords, if any man may be condemned unheard, if judgment may precede evidence, what safety or what confidence can integrity afford? |
| 10351 | But, sir, is not the spirit of our enemies the consequence rather of our cowardice than of their own strength? |
| 10351 | Can this be termed a chimerical suspicion, which nothing can be produced to support? |
| 10351 | Every seafaring man is to be seized, at pleasure, by the magistrate; but what definition is given of a seafaring man? |
| 10351 | For how could those be refused in their age the comforts of ease and repose, who have served their country with their youth and vigour? |
| 10351 | For how far may such a retrospect be extended? |
| 10351 | For upon what are they founded, but upon the impossibility of executing such designs? |
| 10351 | For what will be imagined by his majesty, by the nation, and by the whole world, but that we did not approve what we did not answer? |
| 10351 | For who will bring up his son a waterman, who knows him exposed by that profession to be impressed for a seaman? |
| 10351 | For who will support those from whom no mutual support can be expected? |
| 10351 | For, my lords, what is the evidence of common fame, which has been so much exalted, and so confidently produced? |
| 10351 | From a man who is condemned to labour and to danger, only that others may fatten with indolence, and slumber without anxiety? |
| 10351 | From a man who is dragged to misery without reward, and hunted from his retreat, as the property of his master? |
| 10351 | How can his true opinion be discovered? |
| 10351 | How can power appear but by the exercise of it? |
| 10351 | How can we approve measures, of which we discover no effect but the expense of the nation? |
| 10351 | How has the conduct of his present majesty any resemblance with that of Charles the first? |
| 10351 | How is all this to be effected without murmurs, mutinies, or discontent, but by the natural and easy method of offering rewards? |
| 10351 | How long, then, my lords, and in what degree must it have been established, to obtain undoubted credit, and when does it commence infallible? |
| 10351 | How or when have they forfeited the common privilege of human nature, or the general protection of the laws of their country? |
| 10351 | How shall a law be executed, or a penalty inflicted, when the magistrate has no certain marks whereby he may distinguish a criminal? |
| 10351 | How soon may the Dutch see their barrier attacked, and call upon us for the ten thousand men which we are obliged to send them? |
| 10351 | How soon may the house of Austria be so distressed, as to require all our power for its preservation? |
| 10351 | How then, my lords, can it be asserted by us, that the house of Austria has been vigilantly supported? |
| 10351 | How will it be more reasonable to drag these men from their houses, than to seize any other gentleman upon his own estate? |
| 10351 | How will they maintain the dominion of the sea, by lying unactive in our harbours? |
| 10351 | I am asked, whether it is not the chief question at the bar of our courts of justice, what is the character of the prisoner? |
| 10351 | If a man may be punished, sir, by a law made after the fact, how can any man conclude himself secure from the jail or the gibbet? |
| 10351 | If any man shall refuse to pay his rates or his taxes, will not his goods be seized by force, and sold before his face? |
| 10351 | If he did not intend a parallel between ship- money and the present bill, to what purpose was his observation? |
| 10351 | If he is only endeavouring to gain what has been forcibly withheld from him, what right have we to obstruct his undertaking? |
| 10351 | If it be inquired what necessity there is for our present forces? |
| 10351 | If our danger, sir, be such as has been represented, to whom must we impute it? |
| 10351 | If short voyages are not comprehended in this provision, what are we now controverting? |
| 10351 | If the credulity of the people exposes them to so easy an admission of every report, why have the writers for the minister found so little credit? |
| 10351 | If the sailor, sir, is exposed to greater dangers in time of war, is not the merchant''s trade carried on, likewise, at greater hazard? |
| 10351 | If this sum is really intended to support the queen of Hungary, may we not inquire how it is to be employed for her service? |
| 10351 | If we consult history, my lords, how seldom do we find an innocent minister overwhelmed with infamy? |
| 10351 | In the mean time, sir, how much shall we embarrass our own commerce, and impair our natural strength-- the power of our fleets? |
| 10351 | Inquire, says he, of the workmen in the docks, have they not double wages for double labour? |
| 10351 | Is a man, who has once only lost sight of the shore, to be for ever hunted as a seaman? |
| 10351 | Is a man, who has purchased an estate, and built a seat, to solicit the admiralty for a protection from the neighbouring constable? |
| 10351 | Is a man, who, by traffick, has enriched a family, to be forced from his possessions by the authority of an impress? |
| 10351 | Is a soldier to fatten on delicacies, and to revel in superfluities, for fourpence a- day? |
| 10351 | Is any man injured in his property by an unlimited extension of the prerogative? |
| 10351 | Is any money levied by order of the council? |
| 10351 | Is any villain there convicted but by the influence of his character? |
| 10351 | Is fame rather a settled opinion, prevailing by degrees, and for some time established? |
| 10351 | Is he to change his fare, with all the capriciousness of luxury, and relieve, by variety, the squeamishness of excess? |
| 10351 | Is it intended, by this motion, that the innkeepers shall judge what ought to be allowed the soldier for his money? |
| 10351 | Is it not, therefore, evident, my lords, that by promising assistance to this unhappy princess, the ministry intended to deceive her? |
| 10351 | Is it reasonable that any man should rate his labour according to the immediate necessities of those that employ him? |
| 10351 | Is it to be sent her for the payment of her armies, and the support of her court? |
| 10351 | Is not the freight, equally with the sailors, threatened at once by the ocean and the enemy? |
| 10351 | Is there any apparent advantage to be gained by assuming a false character? |
| 10351 | Is there any improbability in the nature of the fact, that should incline us to suspect his veracity? |
| 10351 | It having been observed by some of the members, that it was printed in one of the daily papers, he was asked, who carried it thither? |
| 10351 | It is first to be inquired, my lords, whether the reports of fame are necessarily or even probably true? |
| 10351 | It is then right to vest some persons with the power of apprehending him, and in whom is that power to be lodged, but in the civil magistrate? |
| 10351 | It was to little purpose that he laid down the petition, if he placed it within reach of his inspection? |
| 10351 | May it not be lavished to support that power, to which our grants have too long contributed? |
| 10351 | May not the sum demanded for the support of the queen of Hungary be employed to promote very different interests? |
| 10351 | May they not justly, sir, require of their representatives some reason for such inexplicable conduct? |
| 10351 | May we not all justly hope, that alacrity, unanimity, and prudence, may, in a much shorter time, reduce our enemies to beg for peace? |
| 10351 | Might we not hope for success, if we have calculated the events of war, and made a suitable preparation? |
| 10351 | Of this, my lords, can it be maintained that they have no proof? |
| 10351 | Or by what characteristick is the magistrate to distinguish him? |
| 10351 | Or can it be charged upon him that he enjoys more than his share of the felicities of life? |
| 10351 | Or how shall we fix such fugitive reasonings, such variable rhetorick? |
| 10351 | Or upon what motive can he act who will not become more happy by doing his duty? |
| 10351 | Or what dangers are feared? |
| 10351 | Or what passion or interest can any man gratify, by imagining or declaring his country on the verge of ruin? |
| 10351 | Or why is not that proper to be advanced now, that will be proper in twenty days? |
| 10351 | Or why should he repel the injuries which will make no addition to his misery, and will fall only on those to whom he is enslaved? |
| 10351 | Or why should officers expose themselves to the hazard of censure without advantage? |
| 10351 | Or with what propriety can it be mentioned in our debates, or produce an argument on either side? |
| 10351 | Ought not some limits to be set to his expectations, and some restraints prescribed to his appetite? |
| 10351 | Ought we not rather to animate them by our activity, instruct them by our example, and awaken them by our representations? |
| 10351 | Ought we not to catch the alarm while it is possible to make preparation against the danger? |
| 10351 | Ought we not to improve, with the utmost diligence, the important interval? |
| 10351 | Perhaps the other powers say to themselves, and to one another, Why should we keep that treaty which Britain is violating? |
| 10351 | That it involves a multitude of relations, and is diffused through a great variety of circumstances? |
| 10351 | The debate upon this particular, will be at length reduced to a question, whether a law for this purpose is just and expedient? |
| 10351 | The doorkeeper was called in, and, being shown the paper, was asked from whom he received it? |
| 10351 | To these ravages and injuries what did we oppose? |
| 10351 | To what purpose are rewards offered, if they are denied to those who come to claim them? |
| 10351 | Upon whom are our weakness, our poverty, and our miseries to be charged? |
| 10351 | Were our fleets manned in an instant? |
| 10351 | What advantage can arise from delays? |
| 10351 | What but humble intreaties, pacifick negotiations, and idle remonstrances? |
| 10351 | What but poverty and distractions at home, and the contempt and insults of foreign powers? |
| 10351 | What but the expedience of a law that will never be executed? |
| 10351 | What can prove any degree of influence or authority, but universal submission and acknowledgment? |
| 10351 | What could be expected from their councils and direction? |
| 10351 | What expeditions are designed? |
| 10351 | What greater calamity has that man to expect, who has been already deprived of his liberty, and reduced to a level with thieves and murderers? |
| 10351 | What have the Spaniards suffered that can be opposed to the detriment which the commerce of this nation feels from the detention of our sailors? |
| 10351 | What part of this transaction, my lords, can be supposed to fall under the cognizance of this assembly? |
| 10351 | What proofs, sir, have they given of the superiority of their own abilities, of the depth of their researches, or the acuteness of their penetration? |
| 10351 | What will be the event of these commotions who can discover? |
| 10351 | What will this be less than making their bravery a crime or folly, and punishing them for not protracting the war by cowardice or treachery? |
| 10351 | When two armies, modelled according to these different schemes, enter the field, what event can be expected? |
| 10351 | Whence comes it, my lords, that falsehood is more successful than truth, and that the nation is inclined to complain rather than to triumph? |
| 10351 | Who can assure us that this law will not be perverted, after the example of others? |
| 10351 | Who is there by whom such negligence will not be resented? |
| 10351 | Who is there, my lords, whose indignation is not raised at such ignominy? |
| 10351 | Who would not have been terrified, my lords, at a treaty like this? |
| 10351 | Why have no complaints been made by those that have been injured? |
| 10351 | Why is his guilt supposed greater if his power is only equal? |
| 10351 | Why must the sailors alone, sir, be marked out from all the other orders of men for ignominy and misery? |
| 10351 | Why must they be ranked with the enemies of society, stopped like vagabonds, and pursued like the thief and the murderer by publick officers? |
| 10351 | Why should he be solicitous to increase his property, who may be torn from the possession of it in a moment? |
| 10351 | Why should not they be most diligent in the prosecution of an affair who have most to lose by its miscarriage? |
| 10351 | Why should we believe that they will suffer without complaint, and be injured without resentment? |
| 10351 | Why should we expose ourselves to danger, of which that mighty nation, so celebrated for courage, is afraid? |
| 10351 | Why should we imagine that the race of men for whom those cruelties are preparing, have less sensibility than ourselves? |
| 10351 | Why should we rush into war, in which our most powerful ally seems unwilling to support us? |
| 10351 | Will it not be readily believed, that we propose to abandon those designs of which we can not be persuaded to declare our approbation? |
| 10351 | Will the breach of faith in others excuse it in us? |
| 10351 | With what spirit, sir, will he draw his sword upon his invaders, who has nothing to defend? |
| 10351 | Would he not ask, why the general practice of mankind is charged as a crime upon him only? |
| 10351 | Would not such measures animate our enemies, and invite an invasion? |
| 10351 | Would not the sailors refuse to contract with them? |
| 10351 | Would they not soon consider themselves as a separate community, whose interests were, no less than their laws, peculiar to themselves? |
| 10351 | [ Several other lords spoke in the debate, and the president having put the previous question,"Whether the question should be then put?" |
| 10351 | and how shall that majority be numbered? |
| 10351 | and how the fleet may be manned with less detriment to commerce? |
| 10351 | and that there will not be wretches found that may employ it to the extortion of money, or the gratification of revenge? |
| 10351 | and whether they do not raise clamours against the government for their ill success, to avoid the suspicion of negligence or fraud? |
| 10351 | did we surprise our enemies by our expedition, and make conquests before an invasion could be suspected? |
| 10351 | how the nation may be secured without injury to individuals? |
| 10351 | or any tribunal established superiour to the laws of the nation? |
| 10351 | or at what time, after having intruded into the house, can any man presume to consider himself as exempt from the danger of imprisonment? |
| 10351 | or desert them after a contract, upon the first prospect of more advantageous employment? |
| 10351 | or how can he maintain forces without supplies? |
| 10351 | or that he should raise his own fortune by the publick calamities? |
| 10351 | or why should we make those laws which our affairs oblige us to enact, less agreeable to the people by partial representations? |
| 10351 | that power by which ourselves have been awed, and the administration has tyrannised without control? |
| 10351 | to raise with one hand and demolish with the other? |
| 10351 | were our harbours immediately crowded with sailors? |
| 10351 | whether they do not direct their courses where privateers may most securely cruise? |
| 10351 | whether they do not surrender with less resistance than interest would excite? |
| 10351 | whether they do not wilfully miss the security of convoys? |
| 10351 | who will increase the influence that is to be exerted against him, or add strength to the blow that is levelled at himself? |
| 10835 | But, madam, what is the meaning of it? |
| 10835 | But,says Dr. Johnson,"suppose the philological decree made and promulgated, what would be its authority? |
| 10835 | Could the wise Egyptians,said Nekayah,"think so grossly of the soul? |
| 10835 | Do you think,said Nekayah,"that the monastick rule is a more holy and less imperfect state than any other? |
| 10835 | Hast thou here found happiness at last? |
| 10835 | Have you then forgot the precepts,said Rasselas,"which you so powerfully enforced? |
| 10835 | How long, sir, said I, has this great office been in your hands? |
| 10835 | Is there such depravity in man, as that he should injure another, without benefit to himself? 10835 Might not some other cause,"said I,"produce this concurrence? |
| 10835 | Nor was much satisfaction to be hoped from their conversation: for of what could they be expected to talk? 10835 Pekuah,"said the princess,"of what art thou afraid?" |
| 10835 | Pray, my lord, what is that? |
| 10835 | Sir,said Imlac,"what can you hope from violence or valour? |
| 10835 | Tell me, without reserve; art thou content with thy condition? 10835 What are we now to think of the prerogatives of power?" |
| 10835 | What comfort,said the mourner,"can truth and reason afford me? |
| 10835 | What do you think of them? |
| 10835 | What passions can infest those,said the prince,"who have no rivals? |
| 10835 | What then is to be done? |
| 10835 | What,said he,"makes the difference between man and all the rest of the animal creation? |
| 10835 | When,said the prince, with a sigh,"shall I be able to visit Palestine, and mingle with this mighty confluence of nations? |
| 10835 | Who is that? |
| 10835 | Why, sir,said I,"do you call that incredible, which you know, or think you know, to be true? |
| 10835 | Why,said Rasselas,"should you envy others so great an advantage? |
| 10835 | Why,said the prince,"did thy father desire the increase of his wealth, when it was already greater than he durst discover or enjoy? |
| 10835 | --Quis ineptae Tam patiens urbis, tam ferreus ut teneat se? |
| 10835 | After so many essays and volumes of Johnsoniana, what remains for the present writer? |
| 10835 | After staring at each other in silent amaze, Dr. Francis asked,"how that speech could be written by him?" |
| 10835 | Amidst such attentions, who can wonder that cold praise has been often the only reward of merit? |
| 10835 | And had not Johnson an equal right to avow his sentiments? |
| 10835 | And how can children credit the assertions of parents, which their own eyes show them to be false? |
| 10835 | And is not marriage a thing in which she is more interested, and has, therefore, more right of choice? |
| 10835 | And why should not life glide quietly away in the soft reciprocation of protection and reverence? |
| 10835 | And yet, my friend, what miracles were wrought Beyond the pow''r of constancy and courage? |
| 10835 | Are friendship''s pleasures to be sold? |
| 10835 | Are these the counsels, this the faith of Cali? |
| 10835 | Are these the rapid thunderbolts of war, That pour with sudden violence on kingdoms, And spread their flames, resistless, o''er the world? |
| 10835 | Are these thy views? |
| 10835 | Are they exquisitely beautiful?" |
| 10835 | Are those nations happier than we?" |
| 10835 | Aspasia, who can look upon thy beauties? |
| 10835 | At length, must Suffolk beauties shine in vain, So long renown''d in B-- n''s deathless strain? |
| 10835 | Aut, hoc si nimium est, tandem nova lexica poscam? |
| 10835 | Beats not the female breast with gen''rous passions, The thirst of empire, and the love of glory? |
| 10835 | Being asked by Mr. Boswell[p], what he thought of purgatory, as believed by the Roman catholicks? |
| 10835 | Betray''d by falsehood, or by crowds o''erborne? |
| 10835 | But can this be possible? |
| 10835 | But complaint can be of no use; and why then should I depress your hopes by my lamentations? |
| 10835 | But did not chance, at length, her errour mend? |
| 10835 | But how canst thou support the woes of exile? |
| 10835 | But it may be asked, can Mr. Bruce say what was the face of the country in the year 1622, when Lobo saw the magnificent sight which he has described? |
| 10835 | But say, great bassa, why the sultan''s anger, Burning in vain, delays the stroke of death? |
| 10835 | But should I sin beyond the hope of mercy, If, when religion prompts me to refuse, The dread of instant death restrains my tongue? |
| 10835 | But what avails So small a force? |
| 10835 | But what would be the security of the good, if the bad could, at pleasure, invade them from the sky? |
| 10835 | But whence this new- sprung hope? |
| 10835 | But who the coming changes can presage, And mark the future periods of the stage? |
| 10835 | But why all this rage against Dr. Johnson? |
| 10835 | But why this sudden warmth? |
| 10835 | But will not Britain hear the last appeal, Sign her foes''doom, or guard her fav''rites''zeal? |
| 10835 | But, Cali, let Irene share thy prayers; For what is length of days, without Irene? |
| 10835 | But, may it not be said, that every system of ethics must, or ought, to terminate, in plain and general maxims for the use of life? |
| 10835 | But, will she yet receive the faith of Mecca? |
| 10835 | By what enchantment does this lovely Greek Hold in her chains the captivated sultan? |
| 10835 | CALI Must Greece, still wretched by her children''s folly, For ever mourn their avarice or factions? |
| 10835 | Can Cali dare the stroke of heav''nly justice, In the dark precincts of the gaping grave, And load with perjuries his parting soul? |
| 10835 | Can Cali''s voice Concur to press a hapless captive''s ruin? |
| 10835 | Can Mahomet''s imperial hand descend To clasp a slave? |
| 10835 | Can a prudent dove decline Blissful bondage such as mine? |
| 10835 | Can brave Leontius be the slave of glory? |
| 10835 | Can gold remove the mortal hour? |

| 10835 | DEAR MADAM,--Now I hope you are thinking: Shall I have a letter to- day from Lichfield? |
| 10835 | DEAR MADAM,--To the question, Who was impressed with consternation? |
| 10835 | Dar''st thou thus dally with Abdalla''s passion? |
| 10835 | Did Mahomet reproach, or praise her virtue? |
| 10835 | Did Mrs. Browne make any reply to your comparison of business with solitude, or did you quite down her? |
| 10835 | Did interposing angels guard her from him? |
| 10835 | Did no subverted empire mark his end? |
| 10835 | Did not roaring Cali, Just as the rack forc''d out his struggling soul, Name for the scene of death, Irene''s chamber? |
| 10835 | Did rival monarchs give the fatal wound? |
| 10835 | Did roaring whirlwinds sweep us from the ramparts? |
| 10835 | Did savage anger and licentious conquest Behold the hero with Aspasia''s eyes? |
| 10835 | Did that become the defender of the people of England? |
| 10835 | Did unresisted lightning aid their cannon? |

| 10835 | Did you turn her out of doors, to begin your journey? |
| 10835 | Ditescis, credo, quid restat? |
| 10835 | Do his enemies claim a privilege to abuse whatever is valuable to Englishmen, either in church or state? |
| 10835 | Do not we share the comprehensive thought, Th''enlivening wit, the penetrating reason? |
| 10835 | Do not you see me reduced to my first principles? |
| 10835 | Do not you wish to have been with us? |
| 10835 | Do they, with pain, repress the struggling shout, And listen eager to the rising wind? |
| 10835 | Do you go to the house where they write for the myrtle? |
| 10835 | Do you keep my letters? |
| 10835 | Do you not think we study this book hard? |
| 10835 | Do you see Dr. Woodward, or Dr. Harrington? |
| 10835 | Do you think he is likely to get the farm? |
| 10835 | Does adamantine faith invest his heart? |
| 10835 | Does cheerless diffidence oppress their hearts? |
| 10835 | Does envy seize thee? |
| 10835 | Does he not know, that kings are accountable for injustice permitted, as well as done? |
| 10835 | Does not thy bosom( for I know thee tender, A stranger to th''oppressor''s savage joy,) Melt at Irene''s fate, and share her woes? |
| 10835 | Does that immateriality, which, in my opinion, you have sufficiently proved, necessarily include eternal duration?" |
| 10835 | Every body was an enemy to that wig.--We will burn it, and get drunk; for what is joy without drink? |
| 10835 | For which Aspasia scorn''d the Turkish crown? |
| 10835 | For, why did Wolsey, near the steeps of fate, On weak foundations raise th''enormous weight? |
| 10835 | Forbear to speak of hazards; What has the wretch, that has surviv''d his country, His friends, his liberty, to hazard? |
| 10835 | Had he lived to be a secretary under Tiberius, what would now be said of his memory? |
| 10835 | Has silence press''d her seal upon his lips? |
| 10835 | Has treason''s dire infection reach''d my palace? |
| 10835 | Has wisdom no strength to arm the heart against calamity? |
| 10835 | Hast thou grown old, amidst the crowd of courts, And turn''d th''instructive page of human life, To ca nt, at last, of reason to a lover? |
| 10835 | Hast thou not search''d my soul''s profoundest thoughts? |
| 10835 | Have I for this defy''d the chiefs of Turkey, Intrepid in the flaming front of war? |
| 10835 | Have I for this preserv''d my guiltless bosom, Pure as the thoughts of infant innocence? |
| 10835 | Having mentioned Shakespeare and nature, does not the name of Montague force itself upon me? |
| 10835 | He lent our author five guineas, and then asked him,"How do you mean to earn your livelihood in this town?" |
| 10835 | How can a single hand attempt a life, Which armies guard, and citadels enclose? |
| 10835 | How comfortless is the sorrow of him, who feels, at once, the pangs of guilt, and the vexation of calamity, which guilt has brought upon him? |
| 10835 | How could a mind, hungry for knowledge, be willing, in an intellectual famine, to lose such a banquet as Pekuah''s conversation?" |
| 10835 | How did Aspasia welcome your address? |
| 10835 | How did you and your aunt part? |
| 10835 | I did not set to it very soon; and if I should go up to London with nothing done, what would be said, but that I was-- who can tell what? |
| 10835 | I have ceased to take much delight in physical truth; for what have I to do with those things which I am soon to leave?" |
| 10835 | I hope you will sympathize with me; but, perhaps,"My mistress, gracious, mild, and good, Cries: Is he dumb? |
| 10835 | If I had money enough, what would I do? |

| 10835 | If the soul could once survive its separation, what could it afterwards receive or suffer from the body?" |
| 10835 | If there is a manuscript from which the translation was made, in what age was it written, and where is it? |
| 10835 | In a place, where they found business or amusement, why should you alone sit corroded with idle melancholy? |
| 10835 | In all the schools of sophistry, is there to be found so vile an argument? |
| 10835 | In life, can love be bought with gold? |
| 10835 | In satires, epistles, and odes would they cope? |

| 10835 | Is Greece deliver''d? |
| 10835 | Is it a good or an evil to me, that she now loves me? |
| 10835 | Is it accident or age? |
| 10835 | Is it possible to love such a man? |
| 10835 | Is not each realm, that smiles with kinder suns, Or boasts a happier soil, already thine? |
| 10835 | Is not my soul laid open in these veracious pages? |
| 10835 | Is not the fate of Greece and Cali thine? |
| 10835 | Is the sultan the only happy man in his dominions? |
| 10835 | Is then your sov''reign''s life so cheaply rated, That thus you parley with detected treason? |
| 10835 | Is this a time for softness or for sorrow? |
| 10835 | Is this th''unshaken confidence in heav''n? |
| 10835 | Is this the boasted bliss of conscious virtue? |
| 10835 | Is this the fierce conspirator, Abdalla? |
| 10835 | Is this the recompense reserv''d for me? |
| 10835 | Is this the restless diligence of treason? |
| 10835 | Is''t not enough, he lives by our indulgence, But he must live to make his masters wretched? |
| 10835 | It must, it must be she;--her name? |
| 10835 | It remains to inquire, whether, in the lives before us, the characters are partial, and too often drawn with malignity of misrepresentation? |
| 10835 | Know''st thou not Cali? |
| 10835 | Know''st thou not yet, when love invades the soul, That all her faculties receive his chains? |
| 10835 | Late in life, if any man praised a book in his presence, he was sure to ask,"Did you read it through?" |
| 10835 | Let him persuade me to it-- if he can; Besides, he has fifty wives; and who can bear To have the fiftieth part, her paltry share? |
| 10835 | Look round, and tell me which of your wants is without supply: if you want nothing, how are you unhappy?" |
| 10835 | Lovely courier of the sky, Whence and whither dost thou fly? |
| 10835 | May not truth, as Johnson himself says, be conveyed to the mind by a new train of intermediate images? |
| 10835 | Mens mea, quid quereris? |
| 10835 | Much happiness it will not bring him; but what can he do better? |
| 10835 | Murem Asclepiades sub tecto ut vidit avarus, Quid tibi, mus, mecum, dixit, amice, tibi? |
| 10835 | Must I, for these, renounce the hope of heav''n, Immortal crowns, and fulness of enjoyment? |
| 10835 | Must I, in slow decline, To mute inglorious ease old age resign? |
| 10835 | Must dull suspense corrupt the stagnant mind? |
| 10835 | Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate, Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate? |
| 10835 | Must no dislike alarm, no wishes rise, No cries invoke the mercies of the skies? |
| 10835 | Must then ambition''s votaries infringe The laws of kindness, break the bonds of nature, And quit the names of brother, friend, and father? |
| 10835 | My task perform''d, and all my labours o''er, For me what lot has fortune now in store? |
| 10835 | No just observer of life to record the virtues of the deceased? |
| 10835 | No peaceful desert, yet unclaim''d by Spain? |
| 10835 | No secret island in the boundless main? |
| 10835 | Nor found again the bright temptation fail? |
| 10835 | Not till this day, thou saw''st this fatal fair; Did ever passion make so swift a progress? |
| 10835 | Now, of whom shall I proceed to speak? |
| 10835 | Now, will any of his contemporaries bewail him? |
| 10835 | O say, bright being, in this age of absence, What fears, what griefs, what dangers, hast thou known? |
| 10835 | Of this great truth, sounded by the knowing to the ignorant, and so echoed by the ignorant to the knowing, what evidence have you now before you? |
| 10835 | Of what effect are they now, but to tell me, that my daughter will not be restored?" |
| 10835 | Of whom but Mrs. Montague? |
| 10835 | Or flow dissolving in a woman''s tears? |
| 10835 | Or hostile millions press him to the ground? |
| 10835 | Or liv''st thou now, with safer pride content,[ k]The wisest justice on the banks of Trent? |
| 10835 | Or pay, with speaking eyes, a lover''s homage? |
| 10835 | Or sprightly hope exalt their kindling spirits? |
| 10835 | Or why should he, whose violence of duty Has serv''d his prince so well, demand our silence? |
| 10835 | Or, bold ambition kindling in my breast, Attempt some arduous task? |
| 10835 | Or, how can Call''s flight restore our country? |
| 10835 | Or, were it best, Brooding o''er lexicons to pass the day, And in that labour drudge my life away? |
| 10835 | Our entrance is no violation of their privileges; we can take nothing from them, how then can we offend them?" |
| 10835 | Qua te laude, Deus, qua prece prosequar? |
| 10835 | Quae, sine morte, fuga est vitae, quam turba malorum Non vitanda gravem, non toleranda facit? |
| 10835 | Quid faciam? |
| 10835 | Quid labor efficiet? |
| 10835 | Quid salvere jubes me, pessime? |

| 10835 | Rasselas then entered with the princess and Pekuah, and inquired, whether they had contrived any new diversion for the next day? |
| 10835 | Rides? |
| 10835 | Rouse, Cali; shall the sons of conquer''d Greece Lead us to danger, and abash their victors? |
| 10835 | Say, by what fraud, what force, were you defeated? |
| 10835 | Scatt''ring, as thy pinions play, Liquid fragrance all the way: Is it business? |
| 10835 | Shall I not wish to cheer afflicted kings, And plan the happiness of mourning millions? |
| 10835 | Shall monarchs fear to draw the sword of justice, Aw''d by the crowd, and by their slaves restrain''d? |
| 10835 | Shall then the Greeks, unpunish''d and conceal''d, Contrive, perhaps, the ruin of our empire; League with our chiefs, and propagate sedition? |
| 10835 | Shall, then, the savage live, to boast his insult; Tell, how Demetrius shunn''d his single hand, And stole his life and mistress from his sabre? |
| 10835 | Sint pro legitimis pura labella sacris-- Quo vagor ulterius? |
| 10835 | Something of a letter you will have; how else can I expect that you should write? |
| 10835 | Speak thou, whose thoughts at humble peace repine, Shall Wolsey''s wealth, with Wolsey''s end, be thine? |
| 10835 | Still Cali lives: and must he live to- morrow? |
| 10835 | Still dost thou flutter in the jaws of death; Snar''d with thy fears, and maz''d in stupefaction? |
| 10835 | Still must we linger in uncertain hope? |
| 10835 | Such ecstasy of love, such pure affection, What worth can merit? |
| 10835 | Suspected still!--What villain''s pois''nous tongue Dares join Leontius''name with fear or falsehood? |
| 10835 | Tell me, if thou waterest, through all thy course, a single habitation from which thou dost not hear the murmurs of complaint?" |
| 10835 | Tene cantorum modulis stupere? |
| 10835 | Tene mulceri fidibus canoris? |
| 10835 | Tene per pictas, oculo elegante, Currere formas? |
