 << Prev Page    Displaying page 2 of 2

I saw him even now going the way of all flesh.
      - Westward Ho (act II, sc. 2) [Death : Fate]

Gold that buys health can never be ill spent,
  Nor hours laid out in harmless merriment.
      - Westward Ho (act V, sc. 3, l. 345)
        [Health]

'Tis just like a summer bird cage in a garden; the birds that are without despair to get in, and the birds that are within despair, and are in a consumption, for fear they shall never get out.
      - White Devil (act I, sc. 2) [Matrimony]

All his reverend wit
  Lies in his wardrobe.
      - White Devil (act II, sc 1) [Tailors]

Prosperity doth bewitch men, seeming clear;
  As seas do laugh, show white, when rocks are near.
      - White Devil (act V, sc. 6) [Prosperity]
