Pagina 23 - I remember the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never blotted out a line. My answer hath been ' Would he had blotted a thousand ! ' ; which they thought a malevolent speech.
Pagina 54 - He must first think and excogitate his matter ; then choose his words, and examine the weight of either. Then take care in placing, and ranking both matter, and words, that the composition be comely ; and to do this with diligence, and often.
Pagina 145 - I have represented an example of late times, yet it hath been and will be secundum majus et minus in all time. And how is it possible but this should have an operation to discredit learning, even with vulgar capacities, when they see learned men's works like the first letter of a patent, or limned book; which though it hath large flourishes, yet it is but a letter?
Pagina 106 - So that the sum of all is, ready writing makes not good writing, but good writing brings on ready writing.

But I have and do reverence him for the greatness that was only proper to himself, in that he seemed to me ever, by his work, one of the greatest men, and most worthy of admiration, that had been in many ages.

Pagina 111 - That low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it : This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it.
Pagina 147 - As you were going to a feast; Still to be powdered, still perfumed: Lady, it is to be presumed, Though art's hid causes are not found, All is not sweet, all is not sound. Give me a look, give me a face, That makes simplicity a grace; Robes loosely flowing, hair as free: Such sweet neglect more taketh me Than all the adulteries of art ; They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.
Pagina 115 - That though I lived with him and knew him from a child, yet I never knew him other than a man; with such staidness of mind, lovely and familiar gravity as carried grace and reverence above greater years. His talk ever of knowledge, and his very play tending to enrich his mind.
Pagina 31 - But his learned and able, though unfortunate, successor is he who hath filled up all numbers, and performed that in our tongue which may be compared, or preferred, either to insolent Greece or haughty Rome.
