Stran 131 - There are a sort of men whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, And do a wilful stillness entertain, With purpose to be dress'd in an opinion Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit; As who should say, " I am Sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips let no dog bark...
Stran 113 - Je consens qu'une femme ait des clartés de tout, Mais je ne lui veux point la passion choquante De se rendre savante afin d'être savante; Et j'aime que souvent, aux questions qu'on fait, Elle sache ignorer les choses qu'elle sait: De son étude enfin je veux qu'elle se cache, Et qu'elle ah du savoir sans vouloir qu'on le sache, Sans citer les auteurs, sans dire de grands mots, Et clouer de l'esprit à ses moindres propos.
Stran 300 - As thistles wear the softest down, To hide their prickles till they're grown ; And then declare themselves and tear Whatever ventures to come near : So a smooth knave does greater feats Than one, that idly rails and threats, And all the mischief, that he meant, Does like a rattle-snake prevent.
Stran 46 - The stronger features of the soul to paint, And make distinct the latent and the faint ; Man as he is, to place in all men's view, Yet none with rancour, none with scorn pursue : Nor be it ever of my portraits told — " Here the strong lines of malice we behold." — THIS let me hope, that when in public view I bring my pictures, men may feel them true ;
Stran 32 - That, ere they come unto their aymed scope, They fall too short of our fraile reckonings, And bring us bale and bitter sorrowings, Instead of comfort which we should embrace: This is the state of Keasars and of Kings! Let none therefore, that is in meaner place, Too greatly grieve at any his unlucky case.
Stran 130 - Une chose vous manque, Acis, à vous et à vos semblables', les diseurs de phébus , vous ne vous en défiez point, et je vais vous jeter dans l'étonnement ; une chose vous manque , c'est l'esprit : ce n'est pas tout ; il ya en vous une chose de trop , qui est l'opinion d'en avoir plus que les autres...
Stran 130 - Acis? est-ce un si grand mal d'être entendu quand on parle, et de parler comme tout le monde!
Stran 1 - And in lewd slouth to wast his carelesse day; But in brave sprite it kindles goodly fire, That to all high desert and honour doth aspire, n.
Stran 205 - Why, i'faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise, and too little for a great...
Stran 111 - He could ingeniously cause the unconscious subject to place his own absurdities in the best point of view, and would cloak his derision under the blandest cajolery. Imitators he loved much; but to baffle them — more. He loved to turn upon the luckless adopters of his last folly, and see them precipitately back out of the scrape into which he himself had led them. "In the art of cutting he shone unrivalled; he knew the 'when,' the 'where,
