Sivu 34 - Were I in England now, as once I was, and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of silver. There would this monster make a man.

Sivu 135 - You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age; wretched in both! If it be you that stir these daughters...
