עמוד 262 - As Fancy opens the quick springs of Sense, We ply the Memory, we load the brain, Bind rebel Wit, and double chain on chain; Confine the thought, to exercise the breath; And keep them in the pale of Words till death.
עמוד xxiv - That wit and fine writing doth not consist so much in advancing things that are new, as in giving things that are known an agreeable turn.
