Pàgina 20 - Should Dennis publish, you had stabb'd your Brother, Lampoon'd your Monarch, or debauch'd your Mother ; Say, what revenge on Dennis can be had ?

Pàgina 189 - Some ring or letter now reveals th' intrigue : Queens, with their minions, work unfeemly things, And boys grow dukes, when catamites to kings. Does a prince die ? What pcifons they furinife ! No royal mortal fure by nature dies.
Pàgina 200 - The lurking seeds of every rank device? Let foreign youths to thy indentures run !
