Seite 4 - I am in presence either of father or mother, whether I speak, keep silence, sit, stand, or go, eat, drink, be merry or sad, be sewing, playing, dancing or doing anything else, I must do it, as it were, in such weight, measure and number, even so perfectly as God made the world, or else I am so sharply taunted, so cruelly threatened, yea, presently, sometimes with pinches, nips and bobs...
Seite 51 - That I must die, it is my only comfort ; Death is the privilege of human nature, And life without it were not worth our taking: " Thither the poor, the pris'ner, and the mourner, \\* " Fly for relief, and lay their burthens down.
Seite 15 - And you, the brightest of the stars above, Ye saints that once were women here below, Be witness of the truth, the holy friendship, Which here to this my other self I vow. If I not hold her nearer to my soul, Than every other joy the world can give ; Let poverty, deformity, and shame, Distraction and despair seize me on earth, Let not my faithless ghost have peace hereafter, Nor taste the bliss of your celestial fellowship.
Seite 32 - The resty knaves are overrun with ease, As plenty ever is the nurse of faction. If in good days, like these, the headstrong herd Grow madly wanton and repine, it is Because the reins of power are held too slack, And reverend authority of late Has worn a face of mercy more than justice.
Seite 10 - ... think not that we hold Thy innocence and virtue as our foe. Here, till the fate of Asia is decided, In safety stay. To-morrow is your own. Nor grieve for who may conquer, or who lose ; Fortune on either side shall wait thy wishes. Sel. Where shall my wonder and my praise begin...
Seite 8 - Tis true, to you, as to the Lord Protector And Gloster's duke, he bows with lowly service: But were he bid to cry, "God save King Richard," Then tell me in what terms he would reply. Believe me, I have prov'd the man and found him: I know he bears a most religious reverence To his dead master Edward's royal memory, And whither that may lead him is most plain; Yet more— one of that stubborn sort he is Who, if they once grow fond of an opinion, They call it honour, honesty, and faith, And sooner...
Seite 32 - Has mov'd the people much about the lawfulness Of Edward's issue ? By right grave authority Of learning and religion, plainly proving, A bastard scion never should be grafted Upon a royal stock ; from thence, at full Discoursing on my brother's former contract To Lady Elizabeth Lucy, long before • His jolly match with that same buxom widow, The queen, he left behind him Hast.
Seite 16 - The saints and angels have thee in their charge, And all things shall be well. Think not the good, The gentle deeds of mercy thou hast done, Shall die forgotten all; the poor, the pris'ner, The fatherless, the friendless, and the widow, \Vho daily own the bounty of thy hand, Shall cry to Heav'n and pull a blessing on thee...
Seite 42 - You heard, the duke's commands to me were absolute. Therefore, my lord, address you to your shrift, With all good speed you may. Summon your courage, And be yourself; for you must die this instant.
Seite 46 - Of all my sufF rings, let her share my pains; Let her, like me, of ev'ry joy forlorn, Devote the hour when such a wretch was born: Like me, to deserts and to darkness run, Abhor the day, and curse the golden sun; Cast...
