Seite 104 - This did his love, and this his mirth digest; One imitates him most, the other best. If they have since...
Seite 104 - Shakspeare's magic could not copied be ; Within that circle none durst walk but he.
Seite 106 - Behind this is the scene, which represents a thick cloudy sky, a very rocky coast, and a tempestuous sea in perpetual agitation.
Seite 165 - How ty'd to her ? Ferd. To love none but her. Hip. But, Sir, I find it is against my Nature. I must love where I like, and I believe I may like all, All that are fair : come ! Bring me to this Woman, For I must have her.
