...didst thou hope, too, perfidious one, to steal away from me? Cruel one, wilt thou fly from me? If ever thou sawest any beauty in my face, if yet there is any room for prayer, I implore thee, stay, O stay, and hold my head...
...could be devised for a preliminary trial than merely having the Boylston Professor select twenty of the speakers to take part in the final contest.

It is useful to have enough copies of a play reserved to enable each of the candidates that are at work in the Library to have a book; but when an instructor puts every good edition on the reference shelves...
