Halaman 7 - I could otherwise delight to dwell, I mean your judgment in your choice of friends, because I have the honour to be one: after which, I am sure, you will more easily permit me to be silent in the care you have taken of my fortune, which you have rescued not only from the power of others, but from my worst of enemies, my own modesty and laziness...

Yet others yield; and love o'ercomes the best: But why should I not shine above the rest?

Halaman 76 - tis a bold pretence To judgment, breeding, wit, and eloquence : Nay more ; for they must look within, to find Those secret turns of nature in the mind : Without this part, in vain would be the whole, And but a body all, without a soul.
Halaman 234 - Wycherley, every thing is masculine ; his Muse is not led forth as to a review, but as to a battle ; not adorned for parade, but execution ; he would be tried by the sharpness of his blade, and not by the finery ; like your heroes of antiquity, he charges in iron, and seems to despise all ornament but...
