Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Gallery of Scripture Engravings, Historical and Landscape, Vol. 2: With Descriptions, Historical, Geographical and Pictorial
Assured 'that her object was now attained, this artful woman soon lulled him to sleep upon her knees, doubtless after a fashion still very common in the East, where it is not unusual for a husband, or full-grown son, to sleep upon his wife or mother's knees. The woman sits cross-legged upon the mat or carpet, and the man lays himself down with his head upon her lap, and she gently taps, strokes, sings, and soothes him to sleep. When Delilah was satisfied that her victim slept soundly, a man shaved off his hair, and by that act took his strength and glory from him. When the woman cried The Philistines be upon thee, Samson, - he awoke, and, ignorant of what had befallen him, said - I will go out, as at other times before, and shake myself, meaning, probably, that he would free himself from the bands which his betrayer had doubtless placed upon his hands. But vain were all his efforts. He saw that the Lord had departed from him: and in the shock produced by that terrible conviction, the Philistines made him their captive, and led him away to Gaza, where they put out his eyes, and set him to grind corn, like a slave, in the prison-house.

Excerpt from The Gallery of Scripture Engravings, Historical and Landscape, Vol. 2: With Descriptions, Historical, Geographical and Pictorial
The prodigal who in the day of his prosperity had forgotten his father, in the day of his misery remembered him, and resolved to return to him. This was the best proof that could be given that he had indeed "come to himself." He delayed not to execute his intention. With what melancholy thoughts - abhorrent of the past, and doubtful of the future - did he not now retrace the long and weary way, which a few years before he had trodden in high hope and joy, which had made that way seem short.
At length he drew near to his father's house: but when he came within sight of home, his heart misgave him, and the consciousness of his folly, and the shame of his nakedness and wretched appearance, kept him at a distance, doubtful of his reception, and hesitating how to make his approach. While hovering around at a distance - "while still a great way off" - the father's eye was attracted by his uncertain movements, and viewing him narrowly, recognized in the forlorn stranger his long-lost son. With an impulsive burst of overpowering pity and affection - such as fathers only know - he ran towards him. His miserable appearance - his return there, told his talc well enough, and needed not the words of repentance and self-abasement which the son had prepared himself to utter.
