Side 103 - Nay, take my life and all; pardon not that: You take my house, when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house; you take my life, When you do take the means whereby I live.
Side 106 - This being an early plant was gathered very young for a boiled salad by some of the soldiers sent thither to pacify the troubles of Bacon, and some of them eat plentifully of it, the effect of which was a very pleasant comedy, for they turned natural fools upon it for several days.
