עמוד 4 - Peep through the horns of the celestial Ram, Am I to view thy splendor darkening his; That lying here, amongst my other hoards, Shew'st like a flame by night, or like the day Struck out of chaos, when all darkness fled Unto the centre.
עמוד 4 - Good morning to the day; and next, my gold: Open the shrine, that I may see my saint.
עמוד 54 - So saying, with delight he snuffed the smell Of mortal change on Earth. As when a flock Of ravenous fowl, though many a league remote, Against the day of battle, to a field Where armies lie encamped come flying, lured With scent of living...
עמוד 45 - And wear, and lose them: yet remains an ear-ring To purchase them again, and this whole state. A gem but worth a private patrimony, Is nothing: we will...

עמוד 105 - Gainst cobwebs. I have a piece of Jason's fleece too, Which was no other than a book of alchemy, Writ in large sheepskin, a good fat ram-vellum. Such was Pythagoras...
עמוד 65 - ... they haue fent, and defire, that you would fooner commit halter. your graue head to this knot, then to the wed-lock nooze ; or, take a little fublimate, and goe out of the world, like 3° a rat ; or a flie (as one faid) with a ftraw i' your arfe : any way, rather, then to follow this goblin matrimony.
