Sida 61 - There are a sort of men whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, And do a wilful stillness entertain, With purpose to be dress'd in an opinion Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit; As who should say, " I am Sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips let no dog bark...
Sida 151 - O.NS are liken'd best to floods and streams , The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb : So when affections yield discourse, it seems The bottom is but shallow whence they come ; They that are rich in words must needs discover They are but poor in that which makes a lover.
Sida 27 - ... pattern for wives, since, according to Master Simon's account, she never contradicts honest Jack, and yet manages to have her own way, and to control him in everything."|| Like a good wife, Mr. Lister tells us of Lady Jermyn, " she had made it her pride to understand her husband thoroughly.

Imitators he loved much; but to baffle them — more.
Sida 31 - ... if you eat one another, I see no reason why we may not eat you. I accordingly dined on the cod with no small degree of pleasure, and have since continued to eat like the rest of mankind, returning only occasionally to my vegetable plan. How convenient does it prove to be a rational animal, that knows how to find or invent a plausible pretext for whatever it has an inclination to do.
Sida 96 - Why, i'faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise, and too little for a great...
Sida 219 - PHYSICIAN. But yet some rumours great are stirring; and if Lorenzo should prove false (which none but the great gods can tell), you then perhaps would find that (whispers) BAYES. Now he whispers.
Sida 41 - ... the peculiarities of that numerous but decreasing tribe. She saw, therefore, with surprise, that he wore a dress in no respect distinguishable from that of ten thousand others; that he had neither rings nor chains, that his head was not fixed at any particular angle, and that the quiet and almost careless tie of his cravat, plainly showed that he had neither studied " Neckclothiana," nor believed in the axiom that
Sida 15 - Such is the weakness of all mortal hope, So fickle is the state of earthly things, That ere they come into their aimed scope, They fall so short of our frail reckonings ; And bring us bale and bitter sorrowings, Instead of comfort which we should embrace.
