 PREFACE 
 
 TO 
 
 THE FOUKTH EDITION. 
 
 Five and twenty years ago I began to make a collec- 
 tion of Quotations and parallel passages, with the 
 "chapter and verse," and line whence taken, and the 
 result of my labours was published in 1854. On the 
 14th February, 1863, the second edition was issued, 
 in January, 1866, a third was published, and now a 
 fourth is required. One of the objects of a book of 
 this description (and an important one also) is to 
 discover the author of the idea, image, or phrase 
 which has become familiar to us, and with that in my 
 mind I have given numerous parallel passages from the 
 translations of the Latin and Greek classics, and my 
 readers will see how great a share the ancients had in 
 the authorship of the quotations now in daily use. 
 
 The late Mr. D 'Israeli says u one of the most 
 elegant of literary recreations is that of tracing poeti- 
 cal or prose imitations and similitudes ; and there are 
 few men of letters who have not been in the habit of 
 marking parallel passages, or tracing imitation in the 
 thousand shapes it assumes." (Curiosities of Lit., 
 vol. 2.)

VI PREFACE. 
 
 The reference to the chapter, act, scene, book, and 
 number of the line of each quotation, was given in 
 Murray's Handbook of Familiar Quotations, and in 
 Whitaker's Book of Familiar Quotations, and in my 
 own, all which were contemporaneously issued in the 
 early part of the year 1854 ; and to us credit is due 
 for that improvement. The present volume contains 
 upwards of six thousand four hundred quotations and 
 parallel passages. 
 
 The additions to the present issue are from the 
 Holy Scriptures, Hebek, Washbourne, Fuller, Swift, 
 Sidney Smith, Landells, Parker, the Fletchers, 
 De Foe, Southet, Selden, Tennyson, Longfellow, 
 Stowell, De Quincey, Webster, Mason, Lyly, 
 Gascoigne, P. Sidney, Oldham, Puttenham, and 
 Earle.

 is far spent.

 to Emraaus.) 
 Abide with us from morn till eve. 
 
 Keble. The Christian Year. 
 
 A BRA. Abra was ready ere I call'd her name ; 
 
 And, though I call'd another, Abra came. 
 
 Her absence made the night, her presence brought the day. 
 
 Prior. Solomon, Book II., Lines 3G3, 592. 
 When Hamilton appears, then dawns the day. 
 And when she disappears, begins the night. 
 
 Lansdown. To the Duchess. 
 
 ABSENCE. In the hope to meet 
 Shortly again, and make our absence sweet. 
 
 Ben Jonson Underwoods, an Elegy. 
 
 Distance sometimes endears friendship, and absence sweeteneth it. 
 
 Howell. Familiar Letters, Book L, Section I. 
 No. 6. 
 An hour or two 
 
 Never breaks squares in love ; he comes in time 
 That comes at all ; absence is all love's crime. 
 
 Beaumont and Fletcher. The Widow, Act II. 
 Scene 2. 
 Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 
 
 Haynes Bailey. Isle of Beauty ; Odes to Eosa. 
 What vigour absence adds to love. 
 
 Flatman. Weeping at parting, a song. 
 Absence in most, that quenches love, 
 And cools the warm desire ; 
 The ardour of my heart improves, 
 And makes the flame aspire. 
 
 Cotton A Song, Verse 2. 
 
&fc0rncf Icrs. 
 
 ABSENCE. Friends, though absent, are still present. 
 Cicero. On Friendship, Chapter VII. 
 
 He shone with the greater splendour because he was not seen. 
 Tacitus. Annals 3, 76. 
 
 ABSENT. Absent in body, but present in spirit. 
 
 St. Paul. 1 Cor., Chapter v. Verse 3. 
 
 [The mottoes or phrases, "Though lost to sight, to memory dear," and 
 " Though absent, not forgotten, " are probably derived from the passage 
 in Cicero ; for I have not met with them in my reading, neither can I 
 learn that they are to be found in any author ] 
 
 ABSTRACTS. They are the abstracts, and brief chronicles 
 of the time. 
 
 Shakspbre. Hamlet, Act II. Scene 2. 
 
 (Hamlet's direction to see the players well 
 bestowed.) 
 
 Brief abstract and record of tedious days. 
 
 Shakspere. King Kichard III., Act IV. Scene 4. 
 (Duches, to Queen Margaret.) 
 
 ABUSE. Nor aught so good, but, strain'd from that fair use. 
 Kevolts from true birth, stumlding on abuse. 
 
 Shakspere. Komeo and Juliet, Act II. Scene 2. 
 (Friar Lawrence at his cell door.) 
 
 When you abuse another do you ne'er look back upon yourself? 
 Plautus. Pseudolus, Act II. Scene 2, Line 18. 
 
 ACCIDENTS. Wherein I spoke of most disastrous chances; 
 Of moving accidents by flood and field. 
 
 Shakspere. Othello, Act I. Scene 3. 
 (To the Senate, justifying his marriage with 
 Desdemona.) 
 
 ACCOMMODATED. That is, when a man is, as they say, 
 accommodated : or where a man is being whereby he 
 may be thought to be accommodated, which is an excellent 
 thing. 
 
 Shakspere. King Henry IV., Part II. Act III. 
 Scene 2. 
 
 (Bardolph and one with him.) 
 
 ACES. We gentlemen, whose chariots roll only upon the four

 Act II., by Cibber. 
 
 On the four aces dooni'd to roll. 
 
 Churchill The Duellist, Book I. Line 68. 
 
&d)C!3 ^CttOttS. 
 
 xiCHES. Up start as many aches in his bones, as there are 
 ouches in his skin. 
 
 George Chapman. The Widow's Tears. 
 
 [This word is a dissyllable and to be pronounced aitch.es. In. Swift's 
 own edition of " The City Shower " he had " old aches throb," but modern 
 printers who lost the right pronunciation treated aches as a monosyllable, 
 and then to complete the metre have foisted in " aches with throb." A 
 good example of this occurs in Hudibras, pt. 3, canto 2, line 407,] 
 
 Can by their pangs and aches find 
 All turns and changes of the wind. 
 
 [The rhythm here demands the dissyllable a-ches as used by the elder 
 writers. Shakspere particularly, who in his Tempest makes Prospero 
 threaten Caliban,] 
 
 If thou neglect'st, or dost unwillingly 
 What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps ; 
 Fill all thy bones with aches ; make thee roar 
 That beasts shall tremble at thy din. 
 
 Shakspere. The Tempest, Act I. Scene 2. 
 (Prospero and Caliban.) 
 
 [John Kemble was aware of the necessity for using the word in this in- 
 stance as a dissyllable, but he was ridiculed by the O. P. critics, and a 
 medal was struck on the occasion which served only to perpetuate their 
 own ignorance. See Disraeli's, Cur. of Lit., Vol. I. p. 81.] 
 
 A CT. The last act crowns the play. 
 
 Quarles. Emblems, Book I. Epigram 15. 
 
 ACTING. Between the acting of a dreadful thing 
 And the first motion, all the interim is 
 Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream. 
 
 Shakspere. Julius Caesar, Act II. Scene I. 
 (Brutus, after Cassius had moved him against 
 Caesar.) 
 
 ACTION. Be not too tame neither, but let your own discre- 
 tion be your tutor; suit the action to the word, the word to 
 the action ; with this special observance, that you o'erstep not 
 the modesty of nature. 
 
 Shakspere. Hamlet, Act III. Scene 2. 
 (His directions to the players.) 
 
 A CTIONS. Prodigious actions may as well be done 
 By weaver's issue, as by prince's son. 
 
 Dryden. Absalom and Ahithophel, Part I. 
 Line 638. 
 Actions of the last age, are like almanacs of the last year. 
 
 Denham. The Sophy. 
 His actions speak much stronger than my pen. 
 
 Churchill. The Candidate, Line 106. 
 (Of John Wilkes.) 
 
Victor ^trortt* 
 
 ACTOR. He loved his friends (forgive this gushing tear; 
 Alas ! I feel, I am no actor here.) 
 
 Lyttleton. ^Prologue to Thomson's Coriolanus. 
 As in a theatre, the eyes of men, 
 After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, 
 Are idly bent on him that enters next, 
 Thinking his prattle to be tedious ; 
 Even so, or with much more contempt, men's eyes 
 Did scowl on Eichard ; no man cried, God save him ! 
 
 Shakspere. King Eichard II., Act V. Scene 2. 
 (York to his Duchess.) 
 A CTS. Our acts our angels are, or good or ill, 
 Our fatal shadows that walk by us still. 
 
 Fletcher. Honest Man's Fortune. 
 ADIEU. I take a long, last, lingering view ; 
 Adieu ! my native land, adieu ! 
 
 Logan. The Lovers, Verse 15. 
 Adieu, adieu ! my native shore 
 Fades o'er the waters blue. 
 
 Byron. Childe Harold, Canto I., Stanza IS. 
 ADMIRE. Not to admire is all the art I know, 
 To make men happy and to keep them so. 
 
 Creech. Translator of Horace. 
 
 ADORE. We bear it calmly, though a ponderous woe, 
 And still adore the hand that gives the blow. 
 
 Pomfret. To his Friend. 
 Led like a victim, to my death I'll go, 
 And, dying, bless the hand that gave the blow. 
 
 Dryden. The Spanish Friar, Act II. Scene 1 . 
 Adored through fear, strong only to destroy. 
 
 Cowper. Winter Morning Walk, Book V. Line 
 445. 
 ADORN. She came adorned hither like sweet May. 
 
 Shakspere. King Eichard II., Act V. Scene 1. 
 (Speaking of his Queen.) 
 Th' adorning thee with so much art 
 
 Is but a barbarous skill ; 
 'Tis like the poisoning of a dart, 
 Too apt before to kill. 
 
 Cowley. The Waiting-Maid, Verse 4. 
 A poet, naturalist, and historian, who scarcely left any style of 
 writing untouched, and touched nothing that he did not adorn.

 Scene 2. (Tranio to Hortensio.) 
 
 ADVERSITY. A man I am, cross'd with adversity. 
 
 Shakspere. Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act IV. 
 Scene 1. (Valentine to the Outlaws.) 
 
 A wretched soul, bruis'd with adversity, 
 
 We bid be quiet when we hear it cry ; 
 
 But were we burden'd with like weight of pain, 
 
 As much, or more, we should ourselves complain. 
 
 Shakspere. Comedy of Errors, Act II. Scene 1 . 
 (Adriana to Luciana.) 
 Sweet are the uses of adversity ; 
 Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, 
 Wears yet a precious jewel in his head ; 
 And this our life, exempt from public haunt, 
 Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, 
 Sermons in stones, and good in every thing. 
 
 Shakspere. As You Like It, Act II. Scene 1. 
 (The Duke to Amiens and other Lords.) 
 On every thorn delightful wisdom grows ; 
 In every rill a sweet instruction flows. 
 
 Dr. Young. Sat. I. Line 249. 
 
 Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy. 
 
 Shakspere. - Borneo and Juliet, Act III. Scene 3. 
 (The Friar to Eomeo.) 
 
 Love is maintain'd by wealth ; when all is spent, 
 Adversity then breeds the discontent. 
 
 Herrick. Hesperides, Aphorisms, No. 144. 
 
 The fire of my adversity has purged the mass of my acquaintance.

 AFFLICTION. EaA it pleased Heaven 
 To try me with affliction ; had he rain'd 
 All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head ; 
 Steep'd me in poverty to the very lips ; 
 Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes ; 
 I should have found in some place of my soul 
 A drop of patience. 
 
 Shakspere. Othello, Act IV. Scene 2. 
 (The Moor to Desdemona.) 
 
 When Providence, for secret ends, 
 Corroding cares, or sharp affliction, sends ; 
 "We must conclude it best it should be so, 
 And not desponding or impatient grow.

 Heaven is not always angry when he strikes, 
 
 But most chastises those whom most he likes.

 From that good God who chastens whom he loves !

 is a glass or copper vessel used in distillation, and breathed upon will pro-

 good matron (who may be likened to the vessel), and the dew of his breath 
 is, in the imagination of the poet, her spirit condensed, exhaled, and drawn 
 up to heaven. (See Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature, article "History of 
 New Words, vol. iii. on the Alembique of the French."]

 ALL. All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee ; 
 
 All chance, direction, which thou canst not see ;

 And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, 
 
 One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right.

 ANGELS. "In a fortnight or three weeks, " added my uncle 
 Toby, smiling, "he might march." "He will never march, 
 an' please your honour, in this world." said the corporal. " He 
 will march," said my uncle Toby, rising up from the side of the

 corporal, " he will never march but to his grave." " He shall 
 march," cried my uncle Toby, marching the foot which had a 
 shoe on, though without advancing an inch ; " he shall march 
 to his regiment." "He cannot stand it," said the corporal. 
 " He shall be supported," said my uncle Toby. " He'll drop at 
 last," said the corporal, "and what will become of his boy? " 
 " He shall not drop," said my uncle Toby, firmly. " A-well-a-

 BUILDING. Which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth

 St. Luke, Chap. xiv. Verses 28, 29, 30. 
 
 When we mean to build, 
 We first survey the plot, then draw the model ; 
 And when we see the the figure of the house, 
 Then must we rate the cost of the erection : 
 Which if we find outweighs ability, 
 What do we then, but draw anew the model 
 En fewer offices ; or, at least, desist 
 To build at all?

 Much more, in this great work, 
 (Which is, almost, to pluck a kingdom down 
 And set another up,) should we survey 
 The plot of situation, and the model ; 
 Consent upon a sure foundation ; 
 Question surveyors ; know our own estate, 
 How able such a work to undergo, 
 To weigh against his opposite ; or else, 
 We fortify in paper, and in figures, 
 Using the names of men instead of men ; 
 Like one that draws the model of a house 
 Beyond his power to build it ; who, half through, 
 Gives o'er, and leaves his part-created cost 
 A naked subject to the weeping clouds, 
 And waste for churlish winter's tyranny.

 But fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long ; 
 
 Even wondered at because he dropt no sooner : 
 
 Fate seemed to wind him up for fourscore years, 
 
 Yet feebly ran he on ten winters more, 
 
 Till like a clock worn out with eating time, 
 
 The wheels of weary life at last stood still.

 He still might doubt the tyrant's power ; 
 
 So fair, so calm, so softly seal'd, 
 
 The first, last look by death reveal'd ! 
 
 Such is the aspect of this shore ; 
 
 'Tis Greece, but living Greece no more ! 
 
 So coldly sweet, so deadly fair, 
 
 We start, for soul is wanting there. 
 
 Byron. The Giaour, Line 87. 
 
 He who hath bent him o'er the dead, 
 
 Ere the first day of death is fled

 Have swept the lines where beauty lingers) 
 
 And mark'd the mild angelic air, 
 
 The rapture of repose that's there.

 aided by the wings of love, is the swifter, and denies her any rest ; and is 
 now just at her back as she flies, and is breathing upon her hair scattered 
 upon her neck. Riley's Ovid, Book I. Line 532.]

 [These lines are almost universally supposed to form a part of Hudibras.

 And again-

 Mr. Collet, however, refers us to a small volume of Poems by Sir John 
 Mennes, written in the reign of Charles II., and says the original of the 
 couplet may be traced to Demosthenes, who has a passage of which the 
 English lines above are almost a literal translation. Relics of Literature, 
 page 185. But if we can trace the original idea to a much higher source 
 than Demosthenes, we shall approach nearer to the author of the idea 
 itself, whoever may have composed the couplet. In Plutarch's Morals, we 
 are told that Archilochus (a famous Greek Poet and Musician, who lived 
 three centuries prior to Demosthenes) set the example of fighting and flying, 
 and said, " It is much easier to get a new buckler than a new existence.'' 
 The translation of the lines of Archilochus, on excusing his cowardice, runs 
 thus: 
 
 Nature's, not honour's laws, we must obey : 
 
 This made me cast my shield away, 
 
 And by a prudent flight and cunning save 
 
 A life, which valour could not, from the grave. 
 
 A better buckler I can soon regain, 
 
 But who can get another life again ? 
 
 Archilochus. Plutarch's Morals; Essay on the 
 Laws, &c, of the Lacedemonians, Part I. ; trans- 
 lated by Mr. John Pulleyn, Trinity College, 
 Cambridge, 1684. 
 
 This fact seems to set at rest the question as to the originator of the say- 
 ing, and brings us a little nearer to the author of the lines. In Murray's 
 Handbook of Familiar Quotations, the fair compiler of that book gives a 
 quaint couplet from a work of Nicholas Udall, published in 1542, as 
 follows : 
 
 That same man that rennith awaie, 
 Maie again fight another daie.]

 rising from his chair, and going across the room, with the fly in 
 his hand "I'll not hurt a hair of thy head: Go! "says he,

 [This celebrated air first became known to the public in 1745, when it was 
 introduced at Covent Garden Theatre by Dr. Arnk, during the time of the 
 Scotch Rebellion, under the title of " A Loyal Song." Arnk told Dr. Burney 
 that he had not the least knowledge who was the composer, nor could he 
 guess who wrote it. It has been attributed to Carey, Dr. Bull, Purcell, 
 Anthony Young, and others, but with equal absence of documentary evi- 
 dence on which reliance can be placed. See the People's Music Book by 
 Turle and Taylor.]

 is a mere scutcheon, and so ends my catechism.

 KING If I could find example

 Must answer for the intent, and not the event.

 in most of the great fortunes in the kingdom.

 You would not hurry to your journey's end.

 LOGIC. He was in logic a great critic, 
 
 Profoundly skilled in analytic : 
 
 He could distinguish, and divide 
 
 A hair 'twixt south and south-west side ; 
 
 On either which he would dispute, 
 
 Confute, change hands, and still confute. 
 
 Butler. Hudibras, Part I. Canto I. Line 65. 
 
 It is a piece of logic which will hardly pass on the world, that

 Torture is theirs, what they inflict they feel.

 Sword, gown, gain, glory, offer in exchange 
 Pride, fame, ambition, to fill up his heart, 
 
 And few there are whom these cannot estrange : 
 Men have all these resources, we but one, 
 To love again, and be again undone.

 Rowe. Lucan's Pharsalia, Book IV. Line 145. 
 
 I have wished for some years past, that instead of discouraging 
 our people from seeking foreign soil, the public would rather 
 pay for transporting all our unnecessary mortals, whether papists 
 or protestants to America, as drawbacks are sometimes allowed 
 for exporting commodities when a nation is overstocked. 
 Swift. Maxims controlled in Ireland. 
 
 MERCHANT. The restless merchant, he that loves to steep 
 
 His brains in wealth, and lays his soul to sleep 
 
 In bags of bullion, sees th' immortal crown, 
 
 And fain would mount, but ingots keep him down : 
 
 He 'brags to-day, perchance, and begs to-morrow : 
 
 He lent but now, wants credit now to borrow. 
 
 Blow, winds, the treasure's gone, the merchant's broke ; 
 
 A slave to silver's but a slave to smoke.

 The gates of mercy shall be all shut up. 
 
 Shakspere. King Henry V., Act DI. Scene 3.

 Become them with one-half so good a grace 
 As mercy does.

 Then, everlasting Love, restrain thy will ; 
 'Tis godlike to have power, but not to kill. 
 
 Beaumont and Fletcher. The Chances, Act II. 
 Scene 2. 
 The quality of Mercy is not strain'd ; 
 It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven 
 Upon the place beneath : it is twice bless'd ; 
 It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes ; 
 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest ; it becomes 
 The throned monarch better than his crown. 
 
 Shakspere. Merchant of Venice, Act IV. Scene 1. 
 
 It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, 
 
 It is an attribute to God himself ; 
 
 And earthly power doth then show likest God's, 
 
 When mercy seasons justice.

 There is no more mercy in him then there is milk in a male tiger.

 The deeds of mercy.

 Since writing to Dr. Guthrie, I have met with the following lines which 
 are part of a poem on 
 
 THE POWER OF PRAYER. 
 Exodus xxxiii. Ver. 10. -Rev. Thos. Washbourne,D.D. 
 
 What a commanding power 
 
 There is in prayer ! which can tower 
 
 As high as heaven, and tie the hands 
 
 Of God himself in bands, 
 That he unable is to loose the reins 
 To Justice, till released from these chains ! 
 Samson could break his cords 
 As tow, and yet the Lord of Lords, 
 Who gave that strength to Samson, can 
 Not break the cords of man. 
 Since then such virtue lives 
 In prayer, as will exorcise 
 The Almighty, and fast bind His arms 
 
 In spiritual magic charms ; 
 ******** ] 
 That power is prayer : which soars on high 
 
 Through Jesus to the Throne, 
 And " moves the hand that moves the world," 
 To bring salvation down. 
 
 Anonymous. Part of some lines sent to the 
 
 Publisher. 
 
 In all thou dost, first let thy prayers ascend, 
 And to the gods thy labours first commend : 
 From them implore success, and hope a prosperous end. 
 
 Pythagoras. Golden Rules. (Eowe's Transl.) 
 That work which is begun well is half done, 
 And without prayer no work is well begun. 
 Fanshawe.

 PRA YER. Hast thou not learn'd what thou art often told, 
 A truth still sacred, and believed of old, 
 That no success attends on spears and swords 
 Unblest, and that the battle is the Lord's ?

 Call down its blessing on that coming fight.

 Prayer is the voice of faith. 
 
 Horne. On the 143rd Psalm, Ver. 6. 
 
 Sum up at night what thou hast done by day, 
 
 And in the morning, what thou hast to do. 
 Dress and undress thy soul : mark the decay 
 
 And growth of it : if with thy watch, that too 
 Be down, then wind up both ; since we shall be 
 Most surely judged, make thy accounts agree.

 Herbert. The Temple, Church Porch, Verse 72. 
 Jest not the preacher's language or expression : 
 How know'st thou but thy sins made him miscarry ? 
 
 Herbert. Ibid. Verse 74. 
 PRECEDENCE. -The notion of the insignificancy of place, 
 has been of infinite prejudice to many worthy men, and of as 
 great advantage to others who have juster thoughts of it. 
 While dignity sinks with its own weight, the scum of mankind 
 will naturally rise above it.

 PREDESTINATION Predestination ! oh how distant lies 
 Thy root from those who do not wholly view 
 The Primal Cause unfolded to their eyes ! 
 
 And you, ye mortals, be your judgments slow ; 
 For we, by whom the Godhead is descried, 
 , Not yet the number of the elect do know : 
 And sweet it is in ignorance to be, 
 
 Because our bliss is doubly sanctified. 
 In that the will of God, and our's agree.

 PRESS. How shall I speak thee, or thy power address, 
 
 Thou god of our idolatry, the Press ? 
 
 By thee religion, liberty, and laws, 
 
 Exert their influence, and advance their cause ; 
 
 By thee, worse plagues than Pharaoh's land befell, 
 
 Diffused, make earth the vestibule of hell ; 
 
 Thou fountain, at which drink the good and wise ; 
 
 Thou ever bubbling spring of endless lies : 
 
 Like Eden's dread probationary tree, 
 
 Knowledge of good and evil is from thee !

 PRIDE. As in some Irish houses, where things are so-so,

 They'd as soon think of eating the pan it is fried in.

 PRISON. A prison is a house of care, 
 
 A place where none can thrive ;

 Sometimes a place of wrong, 
 Sometimes a place of rogues and thieves, 
 
 And honest men among.

 Whiles it was ours.

 his, who had been informed of it by an intimate of hers, who 
 had heard it from the best authority.

 The rainbow brightens to the setting sun ! 
 Fond fool, that deem'st the streaming glory nigh, 
 
 How vain the chase thine ardour has begun ! 
 
 'Tis fled afar ere half thy purposed race be run.

 So to the unthinking boy the distant sky 
 Seems on some mountain's surface to rely ; 
 He with ambitious haste climbs the ascent,

 With sighs the sad defeat he does deplore, 
 His heaven is still as distant as before !

 That they would shave.

 It is sure and certain hope, and not belief. The passage does not 
 mean the resurrection of the person interred, but the general 
 resurrection ; it is in sure and certain hope of the resurrection, 
 not his resurrection. Where the deceased is really spoken of, 
 the expression is very different " as our hope is this our brother 
 doth " [rest in Christ] ; a mode of speech consistent with every 
 thing but absolute certainty that the person departed doth not 
 rest in Christ, which no one can be assured of without immediate, 
 revelation from heaven.

 REVELRY. There was a sound of revelry by night,

 And, like the baseless fabric of this vision. 
 
 The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, 
 
 The solemn temples, the great globe itself, 
 
 Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve ; 
 
 And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, 
 
 Leave not a rack behind : We are such stuff 
 
 As dreams are made on, and our little life 
 
 Is rounded with a sleep.

 haunted churchyard ! or, if necessity, sad. necessity, has obliged 
 him to cross the spot where human skulls are lodged below, and 
 the baneful yews shed supernumerary horrors above, a thousand- 
 hideous stories rush into his memory. Fear adds wings to his 
 feet ; he scarce touches the ground ; dares not once look behind, 
 him, and blesses his good fortune if no frightful sound purred 
 at his heels ; if no ghastly shape bolted upon his sight.

 As 'twere in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems, 
 That woo'd the slimy bottom of the deep, 
 And mock'd the dead bones that lay scatter'd by.

 Perplex'd in the extreme ; of one whose hand, 
 
 Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away 
 
 Kicher than all his tribe ; of one, whose subdued eyes, 
 
 Albeit unused to the melting mood, 
 
 Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees 
 
 Their medicinable gum.

 Glued together with some subtile matter ; 
 Yet had it arms and wings, and head and tail, 
 
 And life to move itself upon the water.

 players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. 
 Nor do not saw the air too much your hand thus ; but use 
 all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and (as I may 
 say) the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a 
 temperance that may give it smoothness. 
 
 Shakspere. Hamlet, Act III. Scene 2. 
 (The Prince and certain Players.) 
 0, it offends me to the soul, to see a robustious periwig-pated 
 fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears 
 of the groundlings ; who, for the most part, are capable of 
 nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise : I could have 
 such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant ; it outherods 
 Herod ; pray you, avoid it.

 And sure the gem to me most dear, 
 Was a kind father's pitying tear.

 Should in a fit of temperance feed on pulse, 
 Drink the clear stream, and nothing wear but frieze, 
 The All-giver would be unthank'd, would be unpraised ;

 And we should serve him as a grudging master, 
 As a penurious niggard of his wealth ; 
 And live like nature's bastards, not her sons.

 A good vomit, I confess, a virtuous herb if it be well qualified,

 overthrow of body and soul.

 Unfriendly to society's chief joys ;

 WISDOM. Wisdom is the only thing which can relieve us

 and peace.

 With foolish wisdom, arguing, charge his God,

 New-mould the spheres, and mend the skies' design,

 When God shall solve the dark decrees of fate, 
 His now unequal dispensation clear, 
 And make all wise and beautiful appear.

 demption," Dr. Adam Clarke introduces his observations upon his text 
 with the three following propositions, which he says have acquired the 
 power of incontrovertible axioms among religious people : 1. God is too

 unkind.]
