Seite 120 - Well have you heard, but something hard of hearing— They call me Katherine that do talk of me. Pet. You lie, in faith, for you are called plain Kate, And bonny Kate, and sometimes Kate the curst. But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom, Kate of Kate-Hall, my super-dainty Kate— For dainties are all Kates.
Seite 52 - Mine honesty and I begin to square. The loyalty well held to fools does make Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure To follow with allegiance a fall'n lord Does conquer him that did his master conquer, And earns a place i' th
