HISTORY UNITED NETHERLANDS, 1584-85 by Motley[#38][jm38v10.txt]4838

Hibernian mode of expressing himself

His inordinate arrogance

His insolence intolerable

Humility which was but the cloak to his pride

Longer they delay it, the less easy will they find it

Oration, fertile in rhetoric and barren in facts

Round game of deception, in which nobody was deceived

'Twas pity, he said, that both should be heretics

Wasting time fruitlessly is sharpening the knife for himself

With something of feline and feminine duplicity
