Stran 85 - I have hitherto followed it, and have no reason to complain that my obedience to it has been even a temporal sacrifice. I have found it, on the contrary, the road to prosperity and wealth ; and I shall point it out as such to my children.
Stran 549 - Ere another such grove shall arise in its stead. The change both my heart and my fancy employs, I reflect on the frailty of man and his joys ; Shortlived as we are, yet our pleasures, we see. Have a still shorter date, and die sooner than we.
Stran 468 - Shrewsbury, Chester, and other places where the company usually performed.
