Сторінка 190 - O MORTAL man, who livest here by toil, Do not complain of this thy hard estate ; That like an emmet thou must ever moil, Is a sad sentence of an ancient date ; And, certes, there is for it reason great ; For, though sometimes it makes thee weep and wail, And curse thy star, and early drudge and late, Withouten that would come a heavier bale, Loose life, unruly passions, and diseases pale.
Сторінка 73 - You would be, sweet madam, if your miseries were in the same abundance as your good fortunes are: And yet, for aught I see, they are as sick, that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing...
Сторінка 300 - And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who, through their word, shall believe in Me : that they may all be one, as Thou, Father, in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us ; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.
Сторінка 76 - That Mother, whose spirit in fetters is bound, While she dandles the Babe in her arms to the sound. Now, coaches and chariots ! roar on like a stream ; Here are twenty souls happy as souls in a dream : They are deaf to your murmurs — they care not for you, Nor what ye are flying, nor what ye pursue !

He founded it to have been a priory of canons, with brethren and sisters; and King Edward III. granted a protection, which I have seen, for the brethren...
Сторінка 9 - So, well accorded, forth they rode together In friendly sort, that lasted but a while; And of all old dislikes they made faire weather : Yet all was forg'd and spred with golden foyle, That under it hidde hate and hollow guyle. Ne certes can that friendship long endure, However gay and goodly be the style, That doth ill cause or evill end enure : For vertue is the band that bindeth harts most sure.
Сторінка 153 - I am sure I should wish that. I wish them to give mind, and soul, and heart, and body, and everything to business; that is the way to be happy. It requires a great deal of boldness, and a great deal of caution to make a great fortune ; and when you have got it, it requires ten times as much wit to keep it. If I were to listen to all the projects proposed to me, I should ruin myself very soon. Stick to one business, young man...
Сторінка 219 - I mean of the ancientest building, was one row of proper small houses, with gardens for poor decayed people, there placed by the prior of the said hospital ; every one tenant whereof paid one penny rent by the year at Christmas, and dined with the prior on Christmas Day • but after the suppression of the hospital these houses, for want of reparations, in few years were so decayed, that it was called Rotten Row...
