Sida 308 - Look round the habitable world, how few Know their own good, or knowing it pursue.
Sida 214 - How easy it is to call rogue and villain, and that wittily! but how hard to make a man appear a fool, a blockhead, or a knave, without using any of those opprobrious terms!
Sida 78 - I take imitation of an author in their sense to be an endeavour of a later poet to write like one who has written before him on the same subject: that is, not to translate his words, or to be confined to his sense, but only to set him as a pattern, and to write as he supposes that author would have done had he lived in our age, and in our country.

Sida 79 - ... poesie is of so subtle a spirit, that in pouring out of one language into another, it will all evaporate ; and if a new spirit be not added in the transfusion, there will remain nothing but a caput mortuum...
Sida 44 - Not so the Golden Age, who fed on fruit, Nor durst with bloody meals their mouths pollute. Then birds in airy space might safely move. And...
Sida 290 - Provide against th' extremities of want ; But womankind, that never knows a mean, Down to the dregs their sinking fortune drain : Hourly they give, and spend, and waste, and wear : And think no pleasure can be bought too dear. There are, who in...
