Seite 302 - I think no safety can be here for virtue, And grieve, my friend, as much as thou to live In such a wretched state as this of Venice; Where all agree to spoil the public good, And villains fatten with the brave man's labours.
Seite 298 - Home and be humble, study to retrench; Discharge the lazy Vermin of thy hall, Those pageants of thy folly, Reduce the glittering trappings of thy wife To humble weeds, fit for thy little state; Then to some suburb cottage both retire; Drudge, to feed loathsome life: get brats, and starve • Home, home, I say.
