Stran 239 - Than thee the age sees not that thing more grave, More high, more holy, that she more would crave. What name, what skill, what faith hast thou in things! What sight in searching the most antique springs!
Stran xcv - The author beginning his studies of this kind, with Every Man in his Humour; and after Every Man out of his Humour; and since, continuing in all his plays, especially those of the comic thread, whereof the New Inn was the last, some recent humours still, or manners of men, that went along with the times...
Stran 351 - To make choise of one excellent man above the rest, and so to follow him till he grow very Hee, or so like him as the Copie may be mistaken for the Principall.
