Side 118 - What things have we seen Done at the Mermaid! Heard words that have been So nimble and so full of subtle flame As if that every one from whence they came Had meant to put his whole wit in a jest, And had resolved to live a fool the rest Of his dull life.
Side 12 - This figure, that thou here seest put, It was for gentle Shakespeare cut; Wherein the graver had a strife With Nature, to out-do the life : O could he but have drawn his wit As well in brass, as he hath hit His face ; the print would then surpass All that was ever writ in brass.

Side 107 - Locke's birthday ; l he is now seventeen : he came home, with his brothers, to keep it, three days ago. May they all be as long-lived and as happy as they are now sweet and amiable !

The variety of the grounds, and the striking form of the hills, always afford something...
Side 35 - ... public cause ; Approach : behold this marble. Know ye not The features? Hath not oft his faithful tongue Told you the fashion of your own estate, The secrets of your bosom? Here then, round His monument with reverence while ye stand, Say to each other: —
