Pàgina 100 - What is a man, If his chief good, and market of his time, Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before, and after, gave us not That capability and godlike reason To fust in us unused.

Had he left me to starve, I never would have uttered a word to his disadvantage. I enclose you two other letters ; and in a day or two you shall see more, the rest being in the hands of the R 1. And now, my dear friend, do not hear the D. of C. unfairly abused.
Pàgina 20 - ... perfectly free. It is assumed, I know, to give dignity and variety to the style ; but whatever success the attempt may sometimes have, it is always obtained at the expense of purity and of the graces that are natural and appropriate to our language.
