He sigh'd my name sure, as he parted from me ; I fear I was too rough. Alas, poor gentleman! He look'd not like the ruins of his youth, But like the ruins of those ruins.
עמוד 18 - You come on just appointment. Welcome, gentlemen ! Have you won Rhetias, Corax ? Cor. Most sincerely. Cue. Save ye, nobilities ! Do your lordships take notice of my page ? Tis a fashion of the newest edition, spick and span-new, without example. Do your honour, housewife ! Gril. There's a curtsy for you, and a curtsy for you.
עמוד 332 - Glories, pleasures, pomps, delights, and ease, Can but please [The] outward senses, when the mind Is [or] untroubled, or by peace refined.
