Take but degree away, untune that string, and hark, what discord follows!
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupts, but being seasoned with a gracious voice obscures the show of evil.
The most peerless piece of earth, I think, that e' er the sun shone bright on.
Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ.
Put forth thy hand, reach at the glorious gold.
If our virtues did not go forth of us, it were all alike as if we had them not.
