Strana 22 - English whom the necessity of a rhyme should force often upon this rock; though sometimes it cannot easily be avoided; and indeed this is the only inconvenience with which rhyme can be charged. This is that which makes them say rhyme is not natural, it being only so, when the poet either makes a vicious choice of words, or places them, for rhyme sake, so unnaturally as no man would in ordinary speaking...
Strana 2 - ... foul and indecent women now (and never till now) permitted to appear and act, who inflaming several young noblemen and gallants, became their misses, and to some, their wives. Witness the Earl of Oxford, Sir R. Howard...
Strana 23 - Nor is great thoughts more adorned by verse, than verse unbeautified by mean ones; so that verse seems not only unfit in the best use of it, but much more in the worse, when a servant is called, or a door bid to be shut, in rhyme.
Strana 26 - Sepulchre, out of the which, with great devotion and reverence, they tooke a marvelous beautifull IMAGE OF OUR SAVIOUR, representing the resurrection, with a crosse in his hand...
Strana 22 - ... tis so judiciously ordered, that the first word in the verse seems to beget the second, and that the next, till that becomes the last word in the line, which, in the negligence of prose, would be so; it must then be granted, rhyme has all the advantages of prose, besides its own.

Strana 12 - I assure him that these follies were made public as much against my inclination as judgment. But, being pursued with so many solicitations of Mr Herringman's, and having received civilities from him — if it were possible, exceeding his importunities — I at last yielded to prefer that which he believed his interest before that which I apprehended my own disadvantage...
Strana 23 - I suppose it may; for in the general, they are both proper, that is, one for a play, the other for a poem or copy of verses ; a blank verse being as much too low for one, as rhyme is unnatural for the other.
Strana 4 - a foolish knight that pretends to understand everything in the world, and will suffer no man to understand anything in his Company, so foolishly positive, that he will never be convinced of an error, though never so gross," is a very good character, and an epitome of all the Bores into one.
