The immortal gods have set sweat before virtue
Things you mean are only what they seem to us
Would want some one else to wear herself out for
Any woman can forgive any man for his audacity in loving her




THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, by Georg Ebers, v6 [GE#83][ge83v10.txt]5522

A knot can often be untied by daylight
Hatred and love are the opposite ends of the same rod
Life is a function, a ministry, a duty
So hard is it to forego the right of hating
Those who will not listen must feel
Use their physical helplessness as a defence




THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, by Georg Ebers, v7 [GE#84][ge84v10.txt]5523

An old war horse, though harnessed to the plough
As soon as a white thread could be distinguished from a black one




THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, by Georg Ebers, v8 [GE#85][ge85v10.txt]5524
