Strana vii - Yes, trust them not; for there is an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger's heart wrapped in a player's hide supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you; and being an absolute Johannes fac iotum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country.
Strana xiii - White silk knotted in the fingers of a pair of white gloves, and so contrived without suspicion, that, playing at Primero at cards, one may without clogging his memory, keep reckoning of all sixes, sevens, and aces, which he hath discarded.
Strana 73 - Fabian or Palmerin of England, which is Cadwallader herring; and, as their meetings were but seldom, and not so oft as welcome, so but seldom should they meet in the heel of the week at the best men's tables upon Fridays and Saturdays, the holy time of Lent exempted, and then they might be at meat and meal for seven weeks together.

Strana 69 - Hellespont contended which should howl louder ; the waves dashed up the clouds, and the clouds, on the other side, spit and drivelled upon them as fast. Hero wept as trickling as the heavens, to think that heaven should so divorce them. Leander stormed worse than the storms, that, by them, he should be so restrained from his Cynthia.
