Side 197 - The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The power, the beauty, and the majesty...
Side 85 - Yes, trust them not, for there is an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger's heart wrapped in a player's hide, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you; and being an absolute Johannes Factotum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country.
Side 340 - I would not, with my will, present you sorrows, dear Bess ; let them go to the grave with me, and be buried in the dust : and seeing that it is not the will of God that I shall see you any more, bear my destruction patiently, and with a heart like yourself.
Side 333 - The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour : but the rich hath many friends.

When he was in temper and matters indifferent came before him, he became his seat of justice better than any other I ever saw in his place.
Side 340 - First, I send you all the thanks which my heart can conceive, or my words express, for your many travails and cares for me, which, though they have not taken effect as you wished, yet my debt to you is not the less ; but pay it I never shall in this world.
Side 79 - I have seen), which notwithstanding, as it is full of stately speeches and well-sounding phrases, climbing to the height of Seneca his style, and as full of notable morality, which it doth most delightfully teach, and so obtain the very end of poesy...
Side 194 - Raptores orbis, postquam cuncta vastantibus defuere terrae, et. mare scrutantur : si locuples hostis est, avari ; si pauper, ambitiosi : quos non Oriens, non Occidens, satiaverit.
