Sivu 135 - By Heaven, methinks it were an easy leap, To pluck bright honour from the pale-fac'd moon; Or dive into the bottom of the deep, Where fathom-line could never touch the ground, And pluck up drowned honour by the locks ; So he, that doth redeem her thence, might wear, Without corrival, all her dignities: — But out upon this half-fac'd fellowship !

Sivu 31 - ... la seule pense-e du crime y est regarde-e avec autant d'horreur que le crime meme ; les faiblesses de 1'amour y passent pour de vraies faiblesses. Les passions n'y sont presentees aux yeux que pour montrer tout le desordre dont elles sont cause ; et le vice y est peint partout avec des couleurs qui en font connaitre et hair la difformite-.
