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 134 - 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 134 - King Arthur conquering the Saxons, which, being farther distant in time, gives the greater scope to my invention; or that of Edward the Black Prince, in subduing Spain, and restoring it to the lawful prince, though a great tyrant, Don Pedro the cruel...

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 ? (for that's a mighty thing,) When the king's trump, the mob are for the king : They follow fortune, and the common cry Is still against the rogue condemn'd to die.
