Say, was it that vainly directing his view To find out men's virtues,- and finding them few, Quite sick of pursuing each troublesome elf, He grew lazy at last, and drew from himself.
Pàgina 12 - I shall, sir. I'll have a peep at him first, however; I've a great mind to see this outlandish spark. The sailor fellow says he'll make rare doings amongst us. (Aside. Stock. You need not wait; leave me. (Exit Servant.
Pàgina 15 - Heaven you had leisure for the employ ; but, did you drive a trade to the four corners of the world, you would not find the task so toilsome as to keep me free from faults. Stock. Well, I am not discouraged; this candour tells me I should not have the fault of self-conceit to combat ; that, at least, is not amongst the number.
