Nay, more than this, brother, if I should speak He would be ready from his heat of humour, And overflowing of the vapour, in him, To blow the ears of his familiars, With the false breath, of telling, what disgraces, And low disparagements, I had put upon him.
עמוד 71 - I marvel what pleasure or felicity they have in taking this roguish tobacco! it's good for nothing but to choke a man and fill him full of smoke and embers: there were four died out of one house, last week, with taking of it, and two more the bell went for, yesternight; one of them (they say) will ne'er 'scape it: he voided a bushel of soot yesterday, upward and downward.

עמוד 7 - BRAINWORM and SERVANT. This letter is directed to my son; Yet I am Edward Knowell, too, and may, With the safe conscience of good manners, use The fellow's error to my satisfaction. Well, I will break it ope— old men are curious— Be it but for the style's sake and the phrase, To see if both do answer my son's praises, Who is almost grown the idolater Of this young Wellbred. What have we here? What's this? Reads. 'Why, Ned, I beseech thee, hast thou forsworn all thy friends i
עמוד 4 - 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...
