In those gay days of wickedness and wit,
When Villiers criticised what Dryden writ,
The tragic queen, to please a
tasteless
crowd,
Had learn'd to bellow, rant, and roar so loud,
That frighten'd Nature, her best friend before,
The blustering beldam's company foreswore;
Her comic sister, who had wit 'tis true,
With all her merits, had her failings too:
And would sometimes in mirthful moments use
A style too flippant for a well-bred muse;
Then female modesty abash'd began
To seek the friendly refuge of the fan,
Awhile behind that slight intrenchment stood,
Till driven from thence, she left the stage for good.

Aesop's Fables by Aesop |

Never believe though in my nature reign'd,
All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood,
That it could so preposterously be stain'd,
To leave for nothing all thy sum of good;
For nothing this wide
universe
I call,
Save thou, my rose, in it thou art my all.

Shakespeare - Sonnets |

Being something of a public
man, Sanders had not, perhaps, so high a social position as Sam'l;
but he had succeeded his father on the coal-cart, while the weaver
had already tried several trades, It had always been against
Sam'l, too, that once when the kirk was vacant he had advised
the selection of the third minister who preached for it, on the
ground that it came
expensive
to pay a large number of candi-
dates.

Lucretius indeed, with such material as Epicurus furnished, satisfied
himself with the theory of a vast machine fortuitously constructed,
and acting by a Law that implied no Legislator; and so composing
himself into a Stoical rather than Epicurean severity of Attitude, sat
down to contemplate the
mechanical
drama of the Universe which he was
part Actor in; himself and all about him (as in his own sublime
description of the Roman Theater) discolored with the lurid reflex of
the Curtain suspended between the Spectator and the Sun.
