Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
Muster your wits; stand in your own defence.
O wretched state! o bosom black as death!
Glory grows guilty of detested crimes.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Plain and not honest is too harsh a style.
