Side 37 - But may be termed the worst of all the three ? Domestic cares afflict the husband's bed, Or pains his head: Those that live single take it for a curse, Or do things worse...
Side 22 - Nature, was a most gentle expresser of it : his mind and hand went together ; and what he thought, he uttered with that easiness, that we have scarce received from him a blot in his papers.
Side 38 - Some would have children : those that have them, moan Or wish them gone: What is it, then, to have, or have no wife, But single thraldom, or a double strife? Our own affections still at home to please Is a disease: To cross the seas to any foreign soil, Peril and toil: Wars with their noise affright us ; when they cease, We are worse in peace; — What then remains, but that we still should cry For being born, or, being born, to die?

Our own affections still at home to please Is a disease : To cross the seas to any foreign soil Peril and toil ; Wars with their noise affright us; when they cease, We're worse in peace ; What then remains, but that we still should cry Not to be born, or, being born, to die?
Side 37 - The world's a bubble and the Life of Man Less than a span In his conception wretched, from the womb So to the tomb; Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years With cares and fears. Who then to frail mortality shall trust, But limns on water, or but writes in dust. Yet...
Side 36 - From thunder's violence. He only can behold With unaffrighted eyes The horrors of the deep, And terrors of the skies.
Side 25 - As we, the robbed, leave rage, and pity it. At first he made low shifts, would pick and glean, Buy the reversion of old plays ; now grown To a little wealth, and credit in the scene, He takes up all, makes each man's wit his own : And, told of this, he slights it. Tut, such crimes The sluggish gaping auditor devours ; He marks not whose 'twas first: and after.times May judge it to be his, as well as ours. Fool! as if half eyes will not know a fleece From locks of wool, or shreds from the whole piece.
Side 36 - THE man of life upright, Whose guiltless heart is free From all dishonest deeds, Or thought of vanity; The man whose silent days In harmless joys are spent, Whom hopes cannot delude Nor sorrow discontent: That man needs neither towers Nor armour for defence, Nor secret vaults to fly From thunder's violence. He only can behold With unaffrighted eyes The horrors of the deep And terrors...

Side 15 - And 10. My friend Ben Jonson, equal to any of the antients for the exactness of his pen, and the decorum which he kept in the dramatic Poems never before observed on the English Stage. Others there are as eminent both for Arts and Arms as those here specified of whom as being stil alive I forbear to speak, according to the caution of the historian saying — Vivorum ut magna admiratio ita Censura est difficilis.
