Сторінка 136 - Tis a very fine thing to be father-in-law To a very magnificent three-tail'd bashaw,* as the man in Bluebeard says and sings.
Сторінка 207 - Not with the living. They feed upon opinions, errors, dreams, And make 'em truths ; they draw a nourishment Out of defamings, grow upon disgraces, And, when they see a virtue fortified Strongly above the battery of their tongues, Oh, how they cast to sink it ! and, defeated, (Soul-sick with poison) strike the monuments Where noble names lie sleeping, till they sweat, And the cold marble melt.

Сторінка 178 - This truth shall manifest, — A gentle wife Is still the sterling comfort of man's life. To fools a torment, but a lasting boon To those who wisely keep their Honeymoon.
Сторінка 103 - O call not to my mind what you have done ; It sets a debt of that account before me, Which shows me poor, and bankrupt even in hopes.
Сторінка 44 - The mind, when overcharged, droops as it were ; and like the rose suffused with evening dew, seeks, if I may be allowed the expression, support from its kindred branches. I have much to tell, and much to ask of you.
