Página 279 - Yet all the while be in the wrong. And 'tis remarkable that they Talk most, who have the least to say. Your dainty speakers have the curse, To plead bad causes down to worse : As dames, who native beauty want, Still uglier look, the more they paint.
Página 419 - HOPE ! of all ills that men endure, The only cheap and universal cure ! Thou captive's freedom, and thou sick man's health ! Thou loser's victory, and thou beggar's wealth ! Thou manna, which from heaven we eat, To every taste a several meat ! Thou. strong retreat ! thou...
Página 69 - I have found out a gift for my fair; I have found where the wood-pigeons breed; But let me that plunder forbear, She will say 'twas a barbarous deed...
Página 213 - Eloquence, like the fair sex, has too prevailing beauties in it to suffer itself ever to be spoken against. And it is in vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving, wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.
