But no such words escaped these young men at the prospect of the torture, nor did such thoughts enter into their minds.

'O thou most abominable tyrant, thou enemy of the justice of heaven and bloody-minded, thou dost torment me in this fashion not for manslaying nor for impiety but for defending the Law of God.'

And to each separate one of the brothers, as they were dragged off, those whose turn was yet to come said, 'Do not disgrace us, brother, nor be false to our brethren already dead.'

We now shudder when we hear of the suffering of those youths; but they, not only seeing it with their eyes, nor merely hearing the spoken, imminent threat, but actually feeling the pang, endured it through; and that in the torture by fire, than which what greater agony can be found?

Thy firstborn, giving up the ghost, did not alter thy resolution, nor thy second, looking with eyes of pity on thee under his tortures, nor thy third, breathing out his spirit.

Thy firstborn, giving up the ghost, did not alter thy resolution, nor thy second, looking with eyes of pity on thee under his tortures, nor thy third, breathing out his spirit.

Not the melodies of the sirens nor the songs of swans with sweet sound do so charm the hearer's ears, as sounded the voices of the sons, speaking to the mother from amid the torments.

Alas, for my sons, that some were yet unwed, and those that were wedded had begotten no children; I shall never see children of yours, nor shall I be called by the name of grandparent.

But the holy and God-fearing mother wailed not with this lamentation over any one of them, neither besought she any to escape death, nor lamented over them as dying men; but, as though she had a soul of adamant and were bringing forth the number of her sons, for a second time, into immortal life, she besought rather and entreated of them that they should die for religion's sake.

No seducer of the desert, no deceiver in the field, corrupted me; nor did the false, beguiling Serpent sully the purity of my maidenhood; I lived with my husband all the days of my youth; but when these my sons were grown up, their father died.

Thou has given thy heart, O Lord, to thy believers: never wilt thou fail, nor be without fruits:

And the restrainers of the children of men were not able to restrain it, nor the arts of those whose business it is to restrain waters;

And there shall neither be anything that breathes without knowledge, nor any that is dumb:

And its course knows no limit. Never doth it fail, but it stands sure, and it knows not descent nor the way of it.

Let not the luminary be conquered by the darkness; nor let truth flee away from falsehood.

Nor does it know thee.

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

Present your reins before Him blamelessly: and let not thy heart do violence to heart, nor thy soul to soul.

He has richly blessed me and my head is with Him: and the sword shall not divide me from Him, nor the scimitar;

And I did not perish, for I was not their brother nor was my birth like theirs.

And make you wise in the ways of truth: that you be not destroyed nor perish:

Nor is there any wound where the thoughts are upright:

Nor is there any storm in the depth of the illuminated thought:

And then they leave them; and then these go about like madmen corrupting: seeing that-they are without heart, nor do they seek for it!
