עמוד xi - I'd have you sober, and contain yourself, Not that your sail be bigger than your boat; But moderate your expenses now, at first, As you may keep the same proportion still: Nor stand so much on your gentility, Which is an airy and mere borrow'd thing, From dead men's dust and bones; and none of yours, Except you make, or hold it.
עמוד 12 - I would fain see all the poets of these times pen such another play as that was :3 they'll prate and swagger, and keep a stir of art and devices, When, as I am a gentleman, read 'em, they are the most shallow, pitiful, barren fellows, that live upon the face of the earth again. [ While Master Mathew reads, Bobadill makes himself ready. ^ Mat. Indeed here are a number of fine speeches in this book. O eyes, no eyes* but fountains fraught with tears / there's a conceit ! fountains fraught with tears!

עמוד 47 - Put motion in a stone, strike fire from ice, Nay, make a porter leap you with his burden.
עמוד 58 - Sir, believe me, upon my relation for what I tell you, the world shall not reprove. I have been in the Indies, where this herb grows, where neither myself, nor a dozen gentlemen more of my knowledge, have received the taste of any other nutriment in the world, for the space of one and twenty weeks, but the fume of this simple only: therefore, it cannot be, but 'tis most divine.
עמוד 16 - Faith, I am very loath to utter it, As fearing it may hurt your patience: But that I know your judgment is of strength, Against the nearness of affection — What need this circumstance?
עמוד x - Or every foolish brain that humours you. I would not have you to invade each place, Nor thrust yourself on all societies, Till men's affections, or your own desert, Should worthily invite you to your rank. He that is so respectless in his courses, Oft sells his reputation at cheap market. Nor would I, you should melt away yourself In flashing bravery,* lest, while you affect To make a blaze of gentry to the world, A little puff of scorn extinguish it ; And you be left like an unsavoury snuff, Whose...
