Pàgina 35 - Blood hath been shed ere now, i' the olden time, Ere human statute purg'd the gentle weal; Ay, and since too, murders have been perform'd Too terrible for the ear: the times have been, That when the brains were out, the man would die, And there an end: but now they rise again, With twenty mortal murders on their crowns, And push us from our stools: This is more strange Than such a murder is.
Pàgina 410 - The chink of the gold did not tempt her more than the person of his Royal Highness.
Pàgina 426 - Give alms of thy goods, and never turn thy face from any poor man ; and then the face of the Lord shall not be turned away from thee.
Pàgina 411 - The case was altered, when, on the arrival of summer, their royal highnesses were to remove to Richmond.

And I, being seized with blindness, began to go groping upon them with my hands and feet ; and continued calling them by their names three days after they were dead.

Pàgina 211 - We retrench the superfluities of mankind. The world is avaritious, and I hate avarice. A covetous fellow, like a jack-daw, steals what he was never made to enjoy, for the sake of hiding it. These are the robbers of mankind, for money was made for the free-hearted and generous, and where is the injury of taking from another, what he hath not the heart to make use of?

Pàgina 121 - Roscoe lived at the distance of two miles from Liverpool, whither he was obliged daily to repair to attend the business of his office.

Pàgina 414 - ... she made it so invariable a rule never to refuse a desire of the King, that every morning at Richmond she walked several miles with him ; and more than once, when she had the gout in her foot, she dipped her whole leg in cold water to be ready to attend him. The pain, her bulk, and the exercise, threw her into such fits of perspiration as vented the gout; but those exertions hastened the crisis of her distemper.
Pàgina 417 - Yes, sir; I was very low in the theatre, as an actor, when the surly fellow was the despot of the place. But, sir, I had— had a lift, sir. Yes, I was to play— the— the — the boy with the red breeches — you know who I mean, sir — he whose mother is always going to law — you know who I mean.
