He was (indeed) honest, and of an open and free nature : had an excellent Phantsie ; brave notions, and gentle expressions... Page 80 - Yes, trust them not: for there is an upstart crow beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger's heart, wrapt in a player's hide, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you; and being an absolute Johannes factotum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country. Page 80 - With neither of them that take offence was I acquainted, and with one of them I care not if I never be... Page 173 - Shine forth, thou Starre of Poets, and with rage Or influence, chide or cheere the drooping stage ; Which, since thy flight from hence, hath mourn'd like night, And despaires day but for thy volumes light. Page 173 - Soul of the age! The applause, delight, the wonder of our stage! My Shakespeare, rise!

Look how the father's face Lives in his issue; even so, the race Of Shakespeare's mind and manners brightly shines In his well-turned and true-filed lines; In each of which he seems to shake a lance, As brandished at the eyes of ignorance. Page 73 - I behold like a Spanish great galleon, and an English man-of-war; Master Coleridge, like the former, was built far higher in learning, solid, but slow in his performances. CVL, with the English man-of-war, lesser in bulk, but lighter in sailing, could turn with all tides, tack about, and take advantage of all winds, by the quickness of his wit and invention. Page 177 - I remember the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never blotted out a line. My answer hath been ' Would he had blotted a thousand !'; which they thought a malevolent speech. Page 76 - He had, by a misfortune common enough to young fellows, fallen into ill company ; and amongst them, some that made a frequent practice of deer-stealing, engaged him more than once in robbing a park that belonged to Sir Thomas Lucy, of Charlecote, near Stratford. For this he was prosecuted by that gentleman, as he thought, somewhat too severely ; and in order to revenge that ill usage, he made a ballad upon him. Bibliographic information |
