1. oldal - The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow, She draws her favours to the lowest ebb; Her tides have equal times to come and go, Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web; No joy so great but runneth to an end, No hap so hard but may in fine amend.
140. oldal - Good God ! how sweet are all things here ! How beautiful the fields appear ! How cleanly do we feed and lie ! Lord ! what good hours do we keep ! How quietly we sleep ! What peace, what unanimity ! How innocent from the lewd fashion, Is all our business, all our recreation...

Thou never plough'st the ocean's foam To seek and bring rough pepper home ; Nor to the Eastern Ind dost rove To bring from thence the scorched clove ; Nor, with the loss of thy lov'd rest, Bring'st home the ingot from the West.
168. oldal - He was my comfort, and his mother's joy, The very arm that did hold up our house : Our hopes were stored up in him, None but a damned murderer could hate him.
154. oldal - I'll try; And, to revenge my slighted love, Will still love on and die. When kill'd with grief Amyntas lies, And you to mind shall call The sighs that now unpitied rise, The tears that vainly fall — That welcome hour, that ends...
299. oldal - Lodg'd in the grave, I am not yet at home : There rots but half of me, the other part Sleeps, Heaven knows where. 'Would she and I — my wife I mean, — but what, alas! talk I of wife? — The woman, 'would we had together fed On any outcast parings, coarse and mouldy, Not liv'd divided thus; I could have begg'd For both, for't had been pity she should ever Have felt so much extremity.
18. oldal - Tis she! that lovely air, that easy shape, those wanton eyes, and all those melting charms about her mouth, •which Medley spoke of. I'll follow the lottery, and put in for a prize with my friend Bellair.
