recover one's youthful vigour

burn the books and bury the scholars alive

seeking one's own doom

the slightest sign of disturbance(at the mere rustle of leaves in the wind)

no small matter(very important)

laugh and forget about it

unrestrained

A lot of fancies cross one's mind.

bow the head and droop the ears

Hide one's candle under a bushel

domestic harmony

The hair rise and the corners of the eyes split…boil with anger.

(of two parties) closely related andinterdependent

be gone with the wind

laws came from multiple executive

a chaplet and official robes

be greatly perplexed(with one's mind in a turmoil)
