Page 301 - ... twere in anger, suddenly snatch at the middle of the inside, if it be taffeta at the least; and so, by that means, your costly lining is betrayed, or else by the pretty advantage of compliment. But one note by the way do I especially woo you to, the neglect of which makes many of our gallants cheap and ordinary, that by no means you be seen above four turns ; but in the fifth make yourself away, either in some of the semsters...
Page 127 - Tis pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat, To peep at such a world ; to see the stir Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd ; To hear the roar she sends through all her gates At a safe distance, where the dying sound Falls a soft murmur on the uninjured ear.
Page 42 - Hamlet" ein. Man glaubt mitunter Hamlet selbst reden zu hören, wenn Letoy sagt: Let me not see you act now In your Scholasticke way, you brought to towne wi'yee, Nor in a Comicke Scene, play Hercules furens, Tearing your throat to spfit the Audients eares...
