Strana cxiv - Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty: For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo The means of weakness and debility; Therefore my age is as a lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly: let me go with you; I'll do the service of a younger man In all your business and necessities.

Strana 33 - No, my dear lady, I could weary stars, and force the wakeful moon to lose her eyes, by my late watching, but to wait on you. When at your prayers you kneel before the altar, methinks I'm singing with some quire in heaven, so blest I hold me in your company.
Strana xv - To our most loving friend, Mr. Philip Hinchlow, these : " Mr. Hinchlow, " You understand our unfortunate extremitie, and I doe not thincke you so void of Christianitie, but that you would throw so much money into the Thames, as wee request now of you, rather than endanger so many innocent lives.
Strana 115 - And now, in the evening, When thou should'st pass with honour to thy rest, Wilt thou fall like a meteor? SHAKESPEARE: I shall fall Like a bright exhalation in the evening, And no man see me more. Here the lines of Massinger have their own beauty. Still, a "bright exhalation...
Strana cxvi - Athenian mules, that from the quarry drew marble, hewed for the temples of the gods, the great work ended, were dismissed and fed at the public cost ; nay, faithful dogs have found their sepulchres ; but man, to man more cruel, appoints no end to the sufferings of his slave...
