Pagina 269 - And what's a prince? Had all been virtuous men, There never had been prince upon the earth, And so no subject ; all men had been princes : A virtuous man is subject to no prince, But to his soul and honour ; which are laws That carry fire and sword within themselves Never corrupted, never out of rule ; What is there in a prince?

Pagina 49 - I see all the world is but a gull ; One man gull to another in all kinds : A merchant to a courtier is a gull ; A client to a lawyer is a gull ; A married man to a bachelor, a gull ; A bachelor to a cuckold is a gull ; All to a poet, or a poet to himself.
Pagina 48 - But such a rattling then was there amongst them Of ravish'd declarations, replications, Rejoinders and petitions ; all their books And writings torn and trod on, and some lost, That the poor lawyers coming to the bar, Could say nought to the matter, but instead...
