The crows and choughs, that wing the midway air, Show scarce so gross as beetles : Half way down Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade! Methinks, he seems no bigger than his head: The fishermen, that walk upon the beach, Appear like mice; and yon...

עמוד 97 - Man may escape from rope and gun; Nay, some have out-liv'd the doctor's pill; Who takes a woman must be undone. That basilisk is sure to kill. The fly that sips treacle is lost in the sweety So he that tastes woman, woman, woman. He that tastes woman, ruin meets.
עמוד xi - And o'er the bar, like tumblers, vault •. But you may swear at any rate, Things not in nature, for the state ; For in all courts of justice here A witness is not said to swear, But make oath; that is, in plain terms, To forge whatever he affirms.
