Strana 219 - Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Strana 112 - The march begins in military state, And nations on his eye suspended wait ; Stern Famine guards the solitary coast, And Winter barricades the realms of Frost ; He comes...
Strana 115 - The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Strana 245 - That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger To sound what stop she please. Give me that man That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, As I do thee.
Strana 103 - We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good ; so find we profit, By losing of our prayers.
Strana xv - Atque alii quorum comoedia prisca virorum est, Si quis erat dignus describi quod malus ac fur, Quod moechus foret aut sicarius aut alioqui Famosus, multa cum libertate notabant. Hinc omnis pendet Lucilius, hosce secutus Mutatis tantum pedibus numerisque, facetus, Emunctae naris, durus componere versus.
Strana 447 - So much the raging thirst of fame exceeds The generous warmth, which prompts to worthy deeds, That none confess fair Virtue's genuine power, Or woo her to their breast, without a dower. Yet has this wild desire, in other days, This boundless avarice of a few for praise, This frantic rage for names to grace a tomb, Involved whole countries in one general doom: Vain "rage!" the roots of the wild fig-tree rise, Strike through the marble, and their memory dies!
Strana 235 - Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places. For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
Strana 453 - Thy pious offerings to the temple bear, And, while the altars blaze, be this thy prayer. O THOU, who know'st the wants of human kind, Vouchsafe me health of body, health of mind ; A soul prepared to meet the frowns of fate...
Strana 338 - Ut qui conducti plorant in funere, dicunt Et faciunt prope plura dolentibus ex animo, sic Derisor vero plus laudatore movetur. Reges dicuntur multis urgere culullis Et torquere mero, quem perspexisse laborant, 435 An sit amicitia dignus: si carmina condes, Nunquam te fallant animi sub volpe latentes. Quintilio si quid recitares, Corrige, sodes, Hoc...
