Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mockery, hence! _Macbeth, Act iii. Sc. 4_. SHAKESPEARE.
GLORY.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself Till, by broad spreading, it disperse to nought. _Henry VI., Pt. I. Act i. Sc. 2_. SHAKESPEARE.
Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near have neither heat nor light. _The White Devil, Act v. Sc. 1_. J. WEBSTER.
We rise in glory as we sink in pride.   Where boasting ends, there dignity begins. _Night Thoughts, Night VIII_. DR. E. YOUNG.
The glory dies not, and the grief is past. _On the Death of Sir Walter Scott_. SIR S. BRYDGES.
GOD.
What is this mighty Breath, ye sages, say, That, in powerful language, felt, not heard, Instructs the fowls of heaven; and through their breast These arts of love diffuses? What, but God? Inspiring God! who, boundless Spirit all, And unremitting Energy, pervades. Adjusts,...   Young, Andrew
