Сторінка 36 - The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank/ and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Сторінка 13 - I AM monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute ; From the centre all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
Сторінка 157 - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Сторінка 11 - There was a time, indeed, when I made a figure with the sex, and could select from my list of conquests a fair specimen of every degree of rank, from the duchess to the spouse of the Squire.
Сторінка 11 - Jack ! All my credit for successful gallantry has been extinguished, and my ardour in the chase been gradually evaporating ever since that very unseasonable phlebotomical operation which was performed upon me by Dick Merryman some years ago. A little Linnet, you know, was the subject of our dispute. We went out to settle it; he pinked my doublet as full of holes as a schoolgirl's sampler, and completed my obligations to him by carrying off the bird to his own nest.
Сторінка 128 - On th' other side, Satan, alarm'd, Collecting all his might, dilated stood Like TenerifF, or Atlas, unremov'd: His stature reach'd the sky, and on his crest Sat horror plum'd.
