Pagina 390 - Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life, And thou no breath at all ? Thou'lt come no more. Never, never, never, never, never ! — Pray you undo this button : thank you, sir. — Do you see this? Look on her, — look, — her lips,— Look there, look there ! — [He dies.
Pagina 342 - ... twere, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.
