Sida 263 - Look round the habitable world, how few Know their own good, or knowing it pursue.
Sida 204 - ... him those manners which are familiar to us. But I defend not this innovation; it is enough if I can excuse it. For (to speak sincerely) the manners of nations and ages are not to be confounded; we should either make them English or leave them Roman.

Sida 281 - That all things weighs, and nothing can admire : That dares prefer the toils of Hercules To dalliance, banquet, and ignoble ease.
Sida 267 - Nothing of this ; but our old Caesar sent A noisy letter to his parliament. Nay, sirs, if Caesar writ, I ask no more ; He's guilty, and the question's out of door. How goes the mob ?
