81 At home, He's all my exercise, my mirth, my matter: 82 We still have slept together, 13-i. 2. Rose at an instant, learn'd, play'd, eat together; 83 10-i. 3. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head, 84. 35-ii. 2. This is the prettiest low-born lass, that ever 85 13-iv. 3. Is all the counsel that we two have shared, * Green turf. For parting us,-O, and is all forgot? All school-days' friendship, childhood innocence? Have with our neelds* created both one flower, Two lovely berries moulded on one stem: What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! in form, and moving, how express and admirable! in action, how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! 88 See, what a grace was seated on this brow: 89 36-ii. 2. 36-iii. 4. I have, in this rough work, shaped out a man, * Needles. † Apollo's. The act of standing. With amplest entertainment: My free drift 90 How this grace 27-i. 1. Speaks his own standing! what a mental power Moves in this lip! to the dumbness of the gesture 91 The painting is almost the natural man; 27-i. 1. For since dishonour traffics with man's nature, 27-i. 1. 92 Thou art like the harpy, Which, to betray, doth wear an angel's face, Seize with an eagle's talons.) 93 34-iv. 4. There be players, that I have seen play, and heard others praise, and that highly,-not to speak it profanely, that, neither having the accent of Christians, nor the gait of Christian, Pagan, nor man, have so strutted, and bellow'd, that I have thought some of nature's journeymen had made men, and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably. 94 Hath he so long held out with me untired, 95 36-iii. 2. 24-iv. 2. What a wicked beast was I, to disfurnish myself *My design does not stop at any particular character. † Anciently they wrote upon waxen tables with an iron style. Pictures have no hypocrisy; they are what they profess to be. Thou resemblest in thy conduct the harpy, which allures with the face of an angel, that it may seize with the talons of an eagle. against such a good time, when I might have shown myself honourable? how unluckily it happened, that I should purchase the day before for a little part, and undo a great deal of honour. Commend me bountifully to his good lordship; and I hope, his honour will conceive the fairest of me, because I have no power to be kind: and tell him, this from me, I count it one of my greatest afflictions, say, that I cannot pleasure such an honourable gentleman. 96 Now do I play the touch, To try if thou be current gold, indeed. 97 To build his fortune, I will strain a little, 98 27-iii. 2. 24-iv. 2. 27-i. 1. For herein fortune shows herself more kind 9-iv. 1. 99 Can such things be, And overcome* us like a summer's cloud, 100 I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confined, bound in To saucy doubts and fears. 101 15-iii. 4. 15-iii. 4. Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself; and what remains is bestial. 102 O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, 37-ii. 3. And men have lost their reason! *Pass over us. 29-iii. 2. 103 I set you up a glass Where you may see the inmost part of you. 104 36-iii. 4. Common mother, thou, Whose womb immeasurable, and infinite breast, 105 I have upon a high and pleasant hill 27-iv. 3. Feign'd Fortune to be throned. The base o' the mount Is rank'd with all deserts, all kind of natures, To propagate their states :* amongst them all, Whom Fortune with her ivory hand wafts to her; All those, which were his fellows but of late Make sacred even his stirrop, and through him When Fortune, in her shift and change of mood, *To advance their conditions of life. + Inhale. |
