84 ページ - A sect, whose chief devotion lies In odd perverse antipathies ; In falling out with that or this, And finding somewhat still amiss ; More peevish, cross, and splenetic, Than dog distract or monkey sick ; That with more care keep holy-day The wrong, than others the right way ; Compound for sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to. Still so perverse and opposite. As if they worshipped God for spite, The self-same thing they will abhor One way, and long another for.
228 ページ - What man so wise, what earthly wit so ware, As to descry the crafty cunning traine, By which deceipt doth maske in visour faire, And cast her colours dyed deepe in graine, To seeme like Truth, whose shape she well can faine. And fitting gestures to her purpose frame ; The guiltlesse man with guile to entertaine?
53 ページ - In a morning up we rise, Ere Aurora's peeping : Drink a cup to wash our eyes, Leave the sluggard sleeping : Then we go To and fro, With our knacks At our backs, To such streams As the Thames, If we have the leisure. When we please to walk abroad For our recreation, In...

54 ページ - And though we display All our arts to betray What were made for man's pleasure and diet; Yet both princes and states May, for all our quaint baits, Rule themselves and their people in quiet.
62 ページ - And still, at our yeoman's table, you shall have as many joints as dishes ; no meat disguised with strange sauces ; no straggling joint of a sheep in the midst of a pasture of grass, beset with salads on every side, but solid, substantial food. No servitors (more nimble with their hands than the guests with their teeth) take away meat before stomachs are taken away. Here you have that which in itself is good, made better by the store of it, and best by the welcome to it.
