Page 105 - He shall break his Judges if they cross his word ; He shall rule above the Law calling on the Lord. He shall peep and mutter ; and the night shall bring Watchers 'neath our window, lest we mock the KingHate and all division ; hosts of hurrying spies ; Money poured in secret, carrion breeding flies.
Page 55 - You go up and occupy. Ores you'll find there ; wood and cattle ; watertransit sure and steady (That should keep the railway rates down), coal and iron at your doors.
