Strana 10 - Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue : but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus ; but use all gently ; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
Strana 10 - O, it offends me to the soul, to hear 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 would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod: Pray you, avoid it.
Strana 63 - I have leaped through the valley, dashed down the mountain, Slept in the sunshine and dripped from the fountain. I have burst my cloud fetters and dropped from the sky, And everywhere gladdened the prospect and eye; I have eased the hot forehead of fever and pain; I have made the parched meadows grow fertile with grain. I can tell of the powerful wheel of the mill That ground out the flour, and turned at my will, I can tell of manhood debased by you, That I have uplifted and crowned anew.
Strana 39 - Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging : and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Strana 62 - Ho! ho! pale brother," laughed the wine, " Can you boast of deeds as great as mine?
Strana 62 - Let us tell the tales of the past to each other; I can tell of banquet and revel and mirth, And the proudest and grandest souls on earth Fell under my touch as though struck by blight...
Strana 81 - Licensed where peace and quiet dwell, To bring disease, and want, and woe; Licensed to make this world a hell, And fit man for a hell below !—Our Union.
Strana 13 - Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion 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.
Strana 108 - And hang it over your door ; A truer and better sign-board Than ever you had before. I will paint with the skill of a master, And many shall pause to see This wonderful piece of painting, So like the reality. I will paint yourself, rum-seller, As you wait for that fair young boy, Just in the morning of manhood, A mother's pride and joy.
Strana 108 - But you greet him with a smile, And you seem so blithe and friendly That he pauses to chat awhile. I will paint you again, rumseller, I will paint you as you stand With a foaming glass of liquor, Holding in either hand. He wavers, but you urge him : " Drink ! pledge me just this one ! " And he lifts the glass and drains it, And the hellish work is done.
