e a measure!" said young Lochinvar. 11. Were that a just return? Were that Roman magnanimity? 12. Well; how he may do his work, whether he do it right or wrong, or do it at all, is a point which no man in the world has taken the pains to think of. 13. He is, let him live where else he like, in what pomps and prosperities he like, no literary man. 14. Could we one day complete the immense figure which these flagrant points compose! 15. "Oh, then, my dear madam," cried he, "tell me where I may find my poor, ruined, but repentant child." 16. That sheaf of darts, will it not fall unbound, Except, disrobed of thy vain earthly vaunt, Thou bring it to be blessed where saints and angels haunt? 17. Forget thyself to marble, till With a sad leaden downward cast Thou fix them on the earth as fast. 18. He, as though an instrument, Blew mimic hootings to the silent owls, That they might answer him. 19. From the moss violets and jonquils peep, And dart their arrowy odor through the brain, Till you might faint with that delicious pain. 20. That a man parade his doubt, and get to imagine that debating and logic is the triumph and true work of what intellect he has; alas! this is as if you should overturn the tree. 21. The fat earth feed thy branchy root That under deeply strikes! The northern morning o'er thee shoot, High up in silver spikes! 22. Though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal cause. 23. God send Rome one such other sight! 24. "Mr. Marshall," continued Old Morgan, "see that no one mentions the United States to the prisoner." 25. If there is only one woman in the nation who claims the right to vote, she ought to have it. 26. Though he were dumb, it would speak. 27. Meantime, whatever she did,--whether it were in display of her own matchless talents, or whether it were as one member of a general party,--nothing could exceed the amiable, kind, and unassuming deportment of Mrs. Siddons. 28. It makes a great difference to the force of any sentence whether there be a man behind it or no. (_b_) Find sentences with five verbs in the indicative mood, five in the subjuncti
