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...
