Stran 11 - Fortunati ambo ! si quid mea carmina possunt, Nulla dies unquam memori vos eximet aevo : Dum domus .¿Eneae Capitoli immobile saxum Accolet, imperiumque pater Romanus habebit.
Stran 21 - A Most pleasaunt and excellent conceited Comedie, of Syr lohn Falstaffe, and the merrie Wiues of Windsor.

Stran 18 - No, my dear lady. I could weary stars, And force the wakeful moon to lose her eyes, By my late watching, but to wait on you. When at your prayers you kneel before the altar, Methinks I'm singing with some choir in heaven, So blest I hold me in your company.
Stran 17 - Hall in the beginning of the year 1634, and in that of his age sixteen, being then accounted the most amiable and beautiful person that ever eye beheld ; a person also of innate modesty, virtue, and courtly deportment, which made him then, but especially after, when he retired to the great city, much admired and adored by the female sex.
Stran 83 - Great place and business in the world is not worth the looking after ; I should have no comfort in mine but that my hope is in the Lord's presence.
Stran 69 - I take with pleasure this opportunity of doing justice to that great man, whose faults I knew, whose virtues I admired ; and whose memory, as the greatest general and as the greatest minister that our country or perhaps any other has produced, I honour.
