Strana vii - I FIRST adventure, with fool-hardy might, To tread the steps of perilous despite. I first adventure, follow me who list, And be the second English satirist.
Strana 138 - Beat the broad gates, a goodly hollow sound, With double echoes, doth again rebound ; But not a dog doth bark to welcome thee, Nor churlish porter canst thou chafing see. All dumb and silent, like the dead of night, Or dwelling of some sleepy Sybarite ; The marble pavement hid with desert weed, 'With house-leek, thistle, dock, and hemlock seed, Look to the tow'red chimneys, which should be The wind-pipes of good hospitality, Through which it breatheth to the open air, Betokening life and liberal...
Strana 48 - Third, that he never change his trencher twice. Fourth, that he use all common courtesies, Sit bare at meals, and one half rise and wait. Last, that he never his young master beat But he must ask his mother to define How many jerks she would his breech should line.

Strana 39 - Fond fool ! six feet shall serve for all thy store ; And he that cares for most shall find no more.
Strana 68 - His eyes seem'd sunk for very hollowness ; But could he have (as I did it mistake) So little in his purse, so much upon his back ? So nothing in his maw ? yet seemeth by his belt, That his gaunt gut not too much stuffing felt. Seest thou how side it hangs beneath his hip ? Hunger and heavy iron makes girdles slip.
