And die with decency.
Love reigns a very tyrant in my heart.
Base natures ever judge a thing above them, and hate a power they are too much obliged to.
False as the adulterate promises of favorites in power when poor men court them.
If love be treasure, we'll be wondrous rich.
Let us embrace, and from this very moment vow an eternal misery together.
Could my griefs speak, the tale would have no end.
Who's a prince or beggar in the grave?
I may boldly speak In right, though proud oppression will not hear me!
Dame Fortune, like most others of the female sex, is generally most indulgent to the nimble-mettled blockheads.
How many men
Have spent their blood in their dear country's service,
Yet now pine under want; while selfish slaves,
That even would cut their throats whom now they fawn on,
Like deadly locusts, eat the honey up,
Which those industrious bees so hardly toil'd for.
Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten.
If we must part forever,
Give me but one kind word to think upon
and please myself with, while my heart's breaking.
O woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee
To temper man: we had been brutes without you.
Home I would go But that my doors are hateful to my eyes, Fill'd and damm'd up with gaping creditors, Watchful as fowlers when their game will spring.
You wags that judge by rote, and damn by rule.
Who can describe
Women's hypocrisies! their subtle wiles,
Betraying smiles, feign'd tears, inconstancies!
Their painted outsides, and corrupted minds,
The sum of all their follies, and their falsehoods.
Ere man's corruptions made him wretched, he Was born most noble that was born most free; Each of himself was lord; and unconfin'd Obey'd the dictates of his godlike mind.
There is such sweet pain in parting that I could hang forever on thine arms, and look away my life into thine eyes.
Oh woman! lovely woman! nature made thee To temper man; we had been brutes without you; Angels are painted fair to look like you; There's in you all that we believe of heaven, Amazing brightness, purity, and truth, Eternal joy, and everlasting love.
