Strana 131 - The noise in it is like that of bees, a strange humming or buzz mixed of walking tongues and feet: it is a kind of still roar or loud whisper. It is the great exchange of all discourse, and no business whatsoever but is here stirring and a-foot.
Strana 250 - ... all they together went to Sea, each one in a riddle or cive, and went into the same very substantially, with flaggons of wine, making merry and drinking by the way in the same riddles or cives...
Strana 132 - But one note by the way do I especially woo you to, the neglect of which makes many of our gallants cheap and ordinary, that by no means you be seen above four turns ; but in the fifth make yourself away, either in some of the semsters...

Strana 417 - All recklesse of the pain : Quoth hee, But heaven be now my speede, Or else I shall be slaine.
Strana 168 - Women are to be found, we are informed by all travellers in Italy, according to all appearances, perfect specimens of uxorial and maternal excellence, and yet designated by public rumour as the heroines of many a gallant intrigue.
