Strona 353 - Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace ; four happy days bring in Another moon : but, oh, methinks, how slow This old moon wanes ! she lingers my desires, Like to a step-dame, or a dowager, Long withering out a young man's revenue.

Strona 383 - Watch-house, offers forty pounds. I shall have all that if I convict them. But consider their case, it may yet be your own ; And see how they kneel ; is your heart made of stone ? This moves ; so, at last, I agree to relent, For ten pounds in hand and ten pounds to be spent.
Strona 381 - I come to the most extraordinary of all extraordinary propositions, which is, to take your and your sister's advice in playing at loo. The presumption of the offer raises my indignation beyond the bounds of prose ; it inspires me at once with verse and resentment.

Strona 201 - Persons of his Court or Travellers are invited : It is supplied with English and French Cookery, French and Italian Wines, but I took notice that the PRETENDER Eat only of the English Dishes, and made his Dinner of Roast Beef and what we call Devonshire Pye : He also prefers our March Beer, which he has from Leghorn, to the best Wines.
Strona 439 - ... the produce of his labour; there is little doing in his house in which his affections can be interested, and but little left in it which he can love. I have two neighbours, a man and his wife, both upwards of eighty years of age; they live alone; the husband has been confined to his bed many months and has never had, nor till within these few weeks has ever needed, any body to attend to him but his wife. She has recently been seized with a lameness which has often prevented her from being able...
Strona 459 - Mordanto fills the trump of fame, The Christian world his deeds proclaim, And prints are crowded with his name. In journies he outrides the post, Sits up till midnight with his host, Talks politics, and gives the toast.
