Pagina 72 - O would that she loved me ! Why did she taunt me With backwardness in love ? What could she mean ? Sees she I love her, and so laughs at me, Because I lack the front to woo her ? Nay, I'll woo her then ! Her lips shall be in danger, When next she trusts them near me...
Pagina 51 - A curate's son. Tin. A curate's ? Better be a yeoman's son ! Was it the rector's son, he might be known, Because the rector is a rising man, And may become a bishop. He goes light. The curate ever hath a loaded back, He may be called the yeoman of the church, That sweating does his work, and drudges on, While lives the hopeful rector at his ease.
Pagina 22 - Love's not a flower that grows on the dull earth ; Springs by the calendar ; must wait for sun — For rain; — matures by parts, — must take its time To stem, to leaf, to bud, to blow. It owns A richer soil, and boasts a quicker seed...
Pagina 106 - I'll fall a corse — ere mount his bridal bed ! So choose betwixt my rescue and my grave ; — And quickly too ! The hour of sacrifice Is near ! Anon the immolating priest Will summon me ! Devise some speedy means To cheat the altar of its victim. Do it ! Nor leave the task to me ! WALTER.
Pagina 68 - Are you a fool, As well as Ovid ? Love an art ! No art But taketh time and pains to learn. Love comes With neither. Is't to hoard such grain as that, You went to college ? Better stay at home, And study homely English.
Pagina 52 - I never heard of him. Tin. • What ! never heard Of Richard Cricket ! never heard of him ! Why, he's the jockey of Newmarket ; you May win a cup by him, or else a sweepstakes. I bade him call upon you. You must see him. His lordship is at home to Richard Cricket.
Pagina 71 - And so think I. I did but jest with you. You are not angry ? Shake hands ! Why, cousin, do you squeeze me so ? Mod.
Pagina 49 - You're now another man. Your house is changed, — Your table changed — your retinue — your horse — Where once you rode a hack, you now back blood; — Befits it then you also change your friends! Enter WILLIAMS.
Pagina 105 - What's this? Julia. The strait I'm fallen into my patience cannot bear ! It frights my reason — warps my sense of virtue! Religion ! changes me into a thing I look at with abhorring ! Walter.
Pagina 106 - A smilelcss life, die an unpitied death — Abhorr'd, abandon'd of thy kind, — as one Who had the guarding of a young maid's peace, — Look'd on and saw her rashly peril it ; And when she saw her danger, and confess'd Her fault, compell'd her to complete her ruin ! Walter.
