עמוד 217 - Love, friendship, charity, are subjects all To envious and calumniating time. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin...
עמוד 85 - Of Chaucer's characters, as described in his Canterbury Tales, some of the names or titles are altered by time, but the characters themselves for ever remain unaltered, and consequently they are the physiognomies or lineaments of universal human life, beyond which Nature never steps.
עמוד 84 - Wife of Bath. But enough of this ; there is such a variety of game springing up before me that I am distracted in my choice, and know not which to follow. It is sufficient to say, according to the proverb, that here is God's plenty.
עמוד 81 - That ech of yow, to shorte with your weye, In this viage, shal telle tales tweye, To Caunterbury-ward, I mene it so, And hom-ward he shal tellen othere two, Of aventures that whylom han bifalle.

Was this caprice and absurdity in them ? Or may there not be something in the Gothic romance peculiarly suited to the views of a genius and to the ends of poetry?
עמוד 70 - Bysechyng every lady bright of hewe. And every gentil womman, what she be, That al be that Criseyde was untrewe, That for that gilt she be nat wroth with me. Ye may hire giltes in other bokes se; 1776 And gladlier I wol write, yif yow leste, Penelopeës trouthe and good Alceste.
עמוד 113 - Neither in citee ne in no village, That wolde chaunge his youthe for myn age; And therfore moot I han myn age stille, As longe time as it is Goddes wille.
