I love a ballad in print o' life, for then we are sure they are true.

Suit the action to the word : the word to the action : with this special observance that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature.

Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight; which therein works a miracle in Nature, making them lightest that wear most of it: so are those crisped snaky golden locks which make such wanton gambols with the wind upon supposed fairness, often known to be the dowry of a second head, the skull that bred them in the sepulchre.

Foul whisperings are abroad

With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage.

O comfort-killing night, image of hell, Dim register and notary of shame, Black stage for tragedies and murders fell, Vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!

He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle.
