Seite 182 - The warrant I have of your honourable disposition, not the worth of my untutored lines, makes it assured of acceptance. What I have done is yours, what I have to do is yours; being part in all I have devoted yours.
Seite 549 - See the mind of beastly man, That hath so soone forgot the excellence Of his creation, when he life began, That now he chooseth with vile difference To be a beast, and lacke intelligence...
Seite 182 - But if the first heir of my invention prove deformed, I shall be sorry it had so noble a god-father, and never after ear so barren a land, for fear it yield me still so bad a harvest.
Seite 103 - All school-days' friendship, childhood innocence? We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, Have with our needles created both one flower, Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, Both warbling of one song, both in one key; As if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds, Had been incorporate.
Seite 40 - O thou that rollest above, round as the shield of my fathers! Whence are thy beams, O sun, thy everlasting light ?

The play stands still; damn action and discourse; Back fly the scenes, and enter foot and horse ; Pageants on pageants, in long order drawn, Peers, heralds, bishops, ermine, gold and lawn ; The champion too ! and, to complete the jest, Old Edward's armour beams on Gibber's breast, With laughter sure Democritus had died Had he beheld an audience gape so wide.
Seite 406 - Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Seite 564 - There still remains, to mortify a wit, The many-headed monster of the pit; A senseless, worthless, and unhonour'd crowd; Who, to disturb their betters mighty proud, Clattering their sticks before ten lines are spoke, Call for the farce, the bear, or the black-joke.
Seite 40 - A Scotchman must be a very sturdy moralist who does not love Scotland better than truth : he will always love it better than inquiry ; and if falsehood flatters his vanity, will not be very diligent to detect it.
