Life every man holds dear; but the dear man 26-v. 3. Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man 28-v. 3. Every good servant does not all commands: 435 31-v. 1. Peace, in what sense a victory. A peace is of the nature of a conquest; 436 The sight of sorrow, its effects. 19-iv. 2. To see sad sights moves more, than hear them told; For then the eye interprets to the ear The heavy motion, that it doth behold; When every part a part of woe doth bear, 'Tis but a part of sorrow that we hear. Deep sounds make lesser noise, than shallow fords; And sorrow ebbs being blown with wind of words. 439 Honours, their dangers. Too much honour: O, 'tis a burden, 'tis a burden, Too heavy for a man that hopes for heaven. 440 Worldly opinion of things. 25-iii. 3. What things there are, Most abject in regard, and dear in use! What things again most dear in the esteem, The world is grown so bad, 26-iii. 3. That wrens may prey where eagles dare not perch. 442 Affections, false. Your affections are 24-i. 3. A sick man's appetite, who desires most that, 28-i. 1. We wound our modesty, and make foul the clearness of our deservings, when of ourselves we publish them. 11-i. 3. Ere clean it o'erthrow nature, makes it valiant. Of hardness is mother. 446 31-iii. 4. Father. A father 13-iv. 3. Is, at the nuptial of his son, a guest That best becomes the table. 447 Love betrays itself like murder. A murd'rous guilt shows not itself more soon, Than love that would seem hid: love's night is noon. 4-iii. 2. Proper deformity seems not in the fiend So horrid, as in woman. 34-iv. 2. This is the monstruosity in love,-that the will is infinite, and the execution confined; that the desire is boundless, and the act a slave to limit. 26-iii. 2. 450 Dependance on the great fruitless. Poor wretches, that depend On greatness' favour, dream, Wake, and find nothing.* Many dream not to find, neither deserve, 451 Punishment due to the guilty only. Why should the private pleasure of some one 31-v. 4. Poems: 452 The power of guilt. Great guilt, Like poison given to work a great time after, 1 never gave him cause. But jealous souls will not be answer'd so; They are not ever jealous for the cause, 1-iii. 3. But jealous, for they are jealous: 'tis a monster, A night is but small breath, and little pause, To answer matters of deep consequence. 37-iii. 4. 20-ii. 4. *"It shall ever be as when an hungry man dreameth, and behold he eateth, but he awaketh, and his soul is empty."-Isa. xxix. 8. † Gen. xlii. 21, 22. To my sick soul, as sin's true nature is, Each toy* seems prologue to some great amiss: It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. 456 The right exercise of power. 36-iv. 4. Hast thou command? by Him that gave it thee, Men must learn now with pity to dispense; 459 Poems. 15-i. 4. 27-iii. 2. Love. Love is not love, When it is mingled with respects,† that stand The venom clamours of a jealous woman 34-i. 1. 461 Gratitude. Gratitude 14-v. 1. Through flinty Tartar's bosom would peep forth, Old fools are babes again; and must be used 11-iv. 4. With checks, as flatteries,-when they are seen abused. 463 No value in a name alone. 34-i. 3. What's in a name? that, which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet. 35-ii. 2. * Trifle. ti. e. With cautious and prudential considerations. "Who seeks for aught in love but love alone?" 464 Right qualifications of man. Is not birth, beauty, good shape, discourse, manhood, learning, gentleness, virtue, youth, liberality, and such like, the spice and salt that season a man? 26-i. 2. 465 Friends, in what sense valuable. What need we have any friends, if we should never have need of them? they were the most needless creatures living, should we ne'er have use for them: and would most resemble sweet instruments hung up in cases, that keep their sounds to themselves. 466 An ill word often dangerous. 27-i. 2. One doth not know, 6-iii. 1. How much an ill word may empoison liking. 467 Sympathy. Passion, I see, is catching; for mine eyes, 468 Mirth not suitable to sorrow. Sad souls are slain in merry company; 29-iii. 1. When with like semblance it is sympathised. As the unthought-on accident* is guilty To what we wildly do: so we profess Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and fliest Poems. 13-iv. 3. Better leave undone, than by our deed acquire 471 The effect of over-indulgence. What doth cherish weeds, but gentle air? 30-iii. 1. And what makes robbers bold, but too much lenity? |
