s relish. 1078 ADDISON: _Cato,_ Act ii., Sc. 3. Liberty, like day, Breaks on the soul, and by a flash from Heaven Fires all the faculties with glorious joy. 1079 COWPER: _Task,_ Bk. v., Line 882. Liberty 's in every blow! Let us do or die. 1080 BURNS: _Bannockburn._ The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty. 1081 MILTON: _L'Allegro,_ Line 36. =Lies.= You told a lie; an odious, damned lie: Upon my soul, a lie; a wicked lie. 1082 SHAKS.: _Othello,_ Act v., Sc. 2. Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie; A fault which needs it most, grows two thereby. 1083 HERBERT: _Temple, Church Porch,_ St. 13. =Life.= Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 1084 SHAKS.: _Macbeth,_ Act v., Sc. 5.

Between two worlds, life hovers like a star 'Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge. 1087 BYRON: _Don Juan,_ Canto xv., St. 99. Our life is scarce the twinkle of a star In God's eternal day. 1088 BAYARD TAYLOR: _Autumnal Vespers._ Life is the gift of God, and is divine. 1089 LONGFELLOW: _T. of a Wayside Inn,_ Emma and Eginhard. What is life? A thawing iceboard On a sea with sunny shore: Gay we sail; it melts beneath us; We are sunk and seen no more. 1090 CARLYLE: _Cui Bono._ Life's a vast sea That does its mighty errand without fail, Panting in unchanged strength though waves are changing. 1091 GEORGE ELIOT: _Spanish Gypsy,_ Bk. iii. Life is not to be bought with heaps of gold: Not all Apollo's Pythian treasures hold, Or Troy once held, in peace and pride of sway, Can bribe the poor possession of a day. 1092 POPE: _Iliad,_ Bk. ix., Line 524. So careful of the type she seems, So careless of the single life. 1093 TENNYSON: _In Memoriam,_ lv., St. 2. =Light.= Hail, holy Light! offspring of Heaven first-born! Or of the Eternal coeternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light, And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright ef
