Side 114 - Marry ! God requite you, Sir, and we'll eat it cheerfully ; and if you come this way a-fishing two months hence, a grace of God ! I'll give you a syllabub of new verjuice...
Side 310 - ... man's girdle, that they clog him with weary days and restless nights, even when others sleep quietly. We see but the outside of the rich man's happiness: few consider him to be like the silkworm, that when she seems to play, is at the very same time spinning her own bowels, and consuming herself; and this many rich men do, loading themselves with corroding cares to keep what they have probably unconscionably got.
