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. - Venice Preserved (act I, sc. 1) [Women] And die with decency. - Venice Preserved (act V, sc. 3) [Death] Big with the fate of Rome. - Youth Preserved (act III, sc. 1) [Fate] Displaying page 2 of 2 for this author: << Prev 1 [2]
