Seite 65 - O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide, The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds, That did not better for my life provide, Than public means, which public manners breeds. Thence comes it that my name receives a brand, And almost thence my nature is subdued To what it works in, like the dyer's hand...
Seite 71 - WHAT needs my Shakespeare for his honoured bones The labour of an age in piled stones ? Or that his hallowed reliques should be hid Under a star-ypointing pyramid ?

Seite 72 - Triumph, my Britain ! thou hast one to show, To whom all scenes of Europe homage owe. - He was not of an age, but for all time...

Seite 71 - To draw no envy, Shakespeare, on thy name, Am I thus ample to thy book and fame ; While I confess thy writings to be such, As neither man, nor muse, can praise too much, 'Tis true, and all men's suffrage.
Seite 78 - English man-of-war, lesser in bulk, but lighter in sailing, could turn with all tides, tack about, and take advantage of all winds, by the quickness of his wit and invention.
Seite 69 - Judge your sixe-pen'orth, your shillings worth, your five shillings worth at a time, or higher, so you rise to the just rates, and welcome. But, whatever you do, buy.
Seite 65 - To our English Terence, Mr. Will Shake-speare Some say (good Will) which I, in sport, do sing Had'st thou not plaid some kingly parts in sport, Thou hadst been a companion for a king: And beene a king among the meaner sort.
