Strana 91 - Let me play the lion too, I will roar, that I will do any man's heart good to hear me ; I will roar, that I will make the duke say. Let him roar again, Let him roar again.
Strana 277 - Where, being but young, I framed to the harp Many an English ditty, lovely well, And gave the tongue a helpful ornament ; A virtue that was never seen in you. Hot. Marry, and I'm glad of it with all my heart; I had rather be a kitten, and cry — mew, Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers...
Strana 70 - Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, (For Brutus is an honorable man, So are they all, all honorable men) Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me; But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man.
Strana 148 - This hour's work Will breed proscriptions! Look to your hearths, my Lords! For there, henceforth, shall sit, for household gods, Shapes hot from Tartarus ! — all shames and crimes ! Wan Treachery, with his thirsty dagger drawn ; Suspicion, poisoning his brother's cup ; Naked Rebellion, with the torch and axe, Making his wild sport of your blazing thrones ; Till Anarchy comes down on you like night, And Massacre seals Rome's eternal grave.

Let me tell him...
Strana 51 - Taint in poetry, is it ?" interposed his father. " No, no/' replied Sam. " Wery glad to hear it," said Mr. Weller. " Poetry's unnat'ral ; no man ever talked poetry 'cept a beadle on boxin...
Strana 250 - Gentlemen, what does this mean ? Chops and Tomato sauce. Yours, Pickwick ! Chops ! Gracious heavens ! and Tomato sauce ! Gentlemen, is the happiness of a sensitive and confiding female to be trifled away, by such shallow artifices as these ? The next has no date whatever, which is in itself suspicious. ' Dear Mrs. B., I shall not be at home till to-morrow. Slow coach.' And then follows this very remarkable expression — -' Don't trouble yourself about the warming-pan.
Strana 148 - t. It breaks my chain ! I held some slack allegiance till this hour; But now my sword 's my own. Smile on, my lords ! I scorn to count what feelings, withered hopes, Strong provocations, bitter, burning wrongs, I have within my heart's hot cells shut up, To leave you in your lazy dignities.
Strana 49 - If she had abuged me, bein' in liquor, which I thought I smelt her wen she come, but could not so believe, not bein' used myself — Mrs. Gamp, by the way, was pretty far gone, and the fragrance of the tea-pot was strong in the room — 'I could have bore it with a thankful art.
