Sivu 194 - The matter and manner of their tales and of their telling are so suited to their different educations, humours, and callings that each of them would be improper in any other mouth.
Sivu 193 - Tis true, I cannot go so far as he who published the last edition of him; for he would make us believe the fault is in our ears, and that there were really ten syllables in a verse where we find but nine...
Sivu 194 - Even the grave and serious characters are distinguished by their several sorts of gravity, their discourses are such as belong to their age, their calling and their breeding — such as are becoming of them and of them only.

Sivu 192 - In the first place, as he is the father of English poetry, so I hold him in the same degree of veneration as the Grecians held Homer or the Romans Virgil...
Sivu 17 - Saxon original, is an abbreviation of AF, or OF; of AT ; of ON, or IN; and often only a corruption of the prepositive particle GE, or Y.
Sivu 177 - God then to blind the eyes of them, " for the more commodity of his people, to the intent " that through the reading of his treatises, some fruit " might redound thereof to his church, as no doubt it " did to many. As also I am partly informed of cer...
