Стр. 284 - See, what a grace was seated on this brow; Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself; An eye like Mars, to threaten and command; A station like the herald Mercury, New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill; A combination, and a form, indeed, Where every god did seem to set his seal, To give the world assurance of a man : This was your husband.
Стр. 297 - O, now, for ever Farewell the tranquil mind ! farewell content ! Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars, That make ambition virtue ! O, farewell ! Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th...
Стр. 22 - Then, sir, she should have a supercilious knowledge in accounts; and as she grew up I would have her instructed in geometry, that she might know something of the contagious countries: but above all, Sir Anthony, she should be mistress of orthodoxy...
Стр. 20 - But I say it is, miss; there is nothing on earth so easy as to forget, if a person chooses to set about it.

Стр. 132 - tis out of pure good humour ; and I take it for granted, they deal exactly in the same manner with me.
Стр. 302 - Good my lord, will you see the players well bestowed ? Do you hear, let them be well used, for they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time : after your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
Стр. 54 - Who can he mean by that? Mrs. Mal. Me, sir! — me! — he means me! — There — what do you think now? — but go on a little further. Abs. Impudent scoundrel! — [Reads.] it shall go hard, but I will elude her vigilance, as I am told that the same ridiculous vanity, which makes her dress up her coarse features, and deck her dull chat with hard words which she don't understand Mrs.
