עמוד 55 - Nobles and heralds, by your leave, Here lies what once was Matthew Prior, The son of Adam and of Eve ; Can Bourbon or Nassau claim higher ? " But, in this case, the old prejudice got the better of the old joke.
עמוד 83 - For while she makes her silk-worms beds, With all the tender things, I swear, Whilst all the house my passion reads, In papers round her baby's hair. She may receive and own my flame, For though the strictest prudes should know it, She'll pass for a most virtuous dame, And I for an unhappy poet.
עמוד 130 - Whilst each her character maintain'd; One spoke her thoughts, the other feign'd. At length, quoth Falsehood, sister Truth, (For so she call'd her from her youth) What if, to shun yon sultry beam, We bathe in this delightful stream; The bottom smooth, the water clear, And there's no prying shepherd near ?— With all my heart...

עמוד 227 - This also shows wherein the identity of the same man consists; viz. in nothing but a participation of the same continued life, by constantly fleeting particles of matter, in succession vitally united to the same organized body.
עמוד 107 - Latin." you with High-Dutch Heeren dine, Expect false Latin, and stumm'd wine ; They never taste who always drink ; They always talk, who never think.
עמוד 127 - Then take Mat's word for it, the sculptor is paid ; That the figure is fine, pray believe your own eye ; Yet credit but lightly what more may be said, For we flatter ourselves, and teach marble to lie.
עמוד 69 - Then answer'd Squire Morley ; Pray get a calash, That in summer may burn, and in winter may splash ; I love dirt and dust ; and 'tis always my pleasure, To take with me much of the soil that I measure. But Matthew thought better: for Matthew thought right, And hired a chariot so trim and so tight, That extremes both of winter and summer might pass : For one window was canvas, the other was glass Draw up...
