O villains, vipers, dogs, easily won to fawn on any man! - [Servility] O wretched state! O bosom black as death! O limed soul that, struggling to be free, art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay! Bow, stubborn knees! and, heart with strings of steel, be soft as sinews of the new-born babe! - [Repentance] O'ercanopied with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine. - [Roses] O, 'tis the cunning livery of hell, The damned'st body to invest and cover In princely guards. - [Sin] O, answer me: Let me not burst in ignorance! but tell, Why thy canoniz'd bones, hearsed in death, Have burst their cerements! why the sepulchre Wherein we saw thee quietly in-urn'd, Hath op'd his ponderous and marble laws, To cast thee up again? - [Ghosts] O, be sick, great greatness, and bid thy ceremony give thee cure! Thinkest thou the fiery fever will go out with titles blown from adulation? - [Greatness] O, he sits high in all the people's hearts: And that, which would appear offence in us, His countenance, like richest alchymy, Will change to virtue and to worthiness. - [Popularity] O, how ripe in show Thy lips, those kissing cherries, tempting grow. - [Lips] O, I cry your mercy; There is my purse, to cure that blow of thine. - [Gold] O, it came over my ear like the sweet south, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing, and giving odor! - [Music] O, it comes over my memory, as doth the raven over the infected house, boding to all. - [Remembrance] O, my Antonio, I do know of these, That therefore only are reputed wise, For saying nothing. - [Silence] O, she is fallen Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea Hath drops too few to wash her clean again. - [Guilt] O, that a man might know The end of this day's business, ere it come, But it sufficeth that the day will end; And then the end is known. - [Eternity] O, that a mighty man of such descent, Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Should be infused with so foul a spirit! - [Degeneracy] O, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! - [Intemperance] O, that the slave had forty thousand lives; One is too poor, too weak for my revenge. - [Revenge] O, that way madness lies; let me' shun that. - [Madness] O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath! - [Falsehood] O, what damned minutes tells he o'er, who dotes, yet doubts; suspects, yet strongly loves! - [Jealousy] Oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes, and hold-fast is the only dog. - [Oaths] Obey thy parents, keep thy word justly; swear not; commit not with man's sworn spouse; set not thy sweet heart on proud array. * * * Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy pen from lenders' books. - [Conduct] Observe degree, priority, and place. - [Order] Of all base passions fear is most accurs'd. - [Fear] Of chastity, the ornaments are chaste. - [Chastity] Displaying page 37 of 187 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 [37] 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187
