Pàgina 498 - What things have we seen Done at the ' Mermaid ? ' Heard words that have been So nimble, and so full of subtle flame, As if that every one from whence they came Had meant to put his whole wit in a jest, And had resolved to live a fool the rest Of his dull life. Then, when there hath been thrown Wit able enough to justify the town For three days past — wit that might warrant be For the whole city to talk foolishly Till that were cancelled ; and when that was gone, We left an air behind us, which...
Pàgina 175 - Tickling a parson's nose as a' lies asleep, Then dreams he of another benefice : Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck, And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats, Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades, Of healths five fathom deep ; and then anon Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes, And being thus frighted, swears a prayer or two, And sleeps again.

Pàgina 294 - Cependant leur scavoir ne s'estend seulement Qu'a regratter un mot douteux au jugement, Prendre garde qu'un qui ne heurte une diphtongue ; Espier si des vers la rime est breve ou longue ; Ou bien si la voyelle, a 1'autre s'unissant, Ne rend point a 1'oreille un vers trop languissant. Us rampent bassement, foibles d'inventions, Et n'osent peu hardis tenter les fictions, Froids a 1'imaginer ; car s'ils font quelque chose C'est proser de la rime, et rimer de la prose, Que 1'art lime et relime, et polit...
