Any thing , tho ' never so little , which a Man speaks of himself , in my Opinion , is
still too much ; and therefore I will wave this Subject , and proceed to give the
second Reason , which may justify a Poet , when he writes against a particular ...

If then thy Lawful Spouse thou canst not Love , What reason shou'd thy Mind to
Marriage move ? Why all the Charges of the Nuptial Feart , Wine and Deserts ,
and Sweet - meats to digest ? Thendowing Gold that buys the dear Delight , Giv'n

He cou'd not set thee free from Cares and Strife , Nor give the Reins to a lewd

Sida xv - For great contemporaries whet and cultivate each other: and mutual borrowing and commerce makes the common riches of learning, as it does of the civil government.
Sida xcvii - Horace so very close that of necessity he must fall with him; and I may safely say it of this present age, that if we are not so great wits as Donne, yet certainly we are better poets.
Sida 275 - Tis not, indeed, my talent to 'engage In lofty trifles, or to swell my page With wind and noise...
Sida xvii - The English have only to boast of Spenser and Milton, who neither of them wanted either genius or learning to have been perfect poets; and yet both of them are liable to many censures.
Sida lxxxvii - Neither is it true, that this fineness of raillery is offensive. A witty man is tickled while he is hurt in this manner, and a fool feels it not.
Sida 277 - The greedy merchants, led by lucre, run To the parch'd Indies, and the rising sun ; From thence hot pepper and rich drugs they bear...
Sida lxxxviii - Absalom is, in my opinion, worth the whole poem: it is not bloody, but it is ridiculous enough; and he, for whom it was intended, was too witty to resent it as an injury.
Sida xxvii - I had intended to have put in practice, (though far unable for the attempt of such a poem,) and to have left the stage, to which my genius never much inclined me, for a work which would have taken up my life in the performance of it. This too I had intended chiefly for the honour of my native country, to which a poet is particularly obliged.
Sida lxxxvii - This is the mystery of that noble trade, which yet no master can teach to his apprentice ; he may give the rules, but the scholar is never the nearer in his practice.
Sida viii - You equal Donne in the variety, multiplicity, and choice of thoughts; you excel him in the manner and the words. I read you both with the same admiration, but not with the same delight.
