Strana 27 - Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah ; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Strana 26 - Cc in the ninth chapter, he obferves, that the race is not to the fwift, nor the battle to the ftrong; — neither yet bread to the wife, — nor yet riches to men of underftanding, — nor favour to men of fkill ; — but time and chance happens to them all.
Strana 138 - ... abomination, but in their terror and affright he finds food for satire. It seems, from this most amusing passage on a most unpromising subject, that the Londoners, of the times of James and Charles, were as much laughed at for their ignorance of all, save the town and its works, as at present. " Those who, in all their life-time, never went So far as is the nearest part of Kent : Those who did never travel, till of late, Half way to Pancras from the city gate : Those who might think the sun did...
Strana 139 - Oh, how they trudg'd and bustled up and down, To get themselves a furlong out of town. And how they were becumbred to provide, That had about a mile or two to ride. But when whole households further off were sent, You would have thought the master of it meant To furnish forth some navy, and that he Had got his neighbours venturers to be. For all the near acquaintance thereabout, By lending somewhat help to set them out. What hiring was there of our hackney jades ? What scouring up of old and rusty...
Strana 127 - Paffons are the greater ; Becaufe their fearching wits finde perills out, Whereof the Dullard fnever having doubt,) Hath boldly ventur'd on them, and out dar'd, What being heeded, him to death hath fear'd. Give me the Man, that with a quaking arme Walkes with a ftedfaft mind through greateft harm ; And though his flefh doth tremble, makes it ftand To execute what Rcafon doth command.
Strana 213 - ... brought The news of those mischances they forethought. And if, with care and grief o'er-tired, they slept, They dream'd of ghosts and graves, and shriekt and wept." Here is a picture from the life. " But, when the morning came, it little shewed, Save light, to see discomfortings renewed : For, if I staid within, I heard relations Of nought but dying pangs and lamentations. If, in the streets, I did my footing set, With many sad disasters there I met. And objects of mortality and fear, I saw in...
Strana 244 - Not many weeks ago it was not so, But Pleasures had their passage to and fro, Which way soever from our Gates I went, I lately did behold with much content, The Fields bestrew'd with people all about ; Some paceing homeward and some passing out ; Some by the Bancks of Thame their...
Strana 244 - Some, of Religion ; fome of bus'nefle talked ; Some coached were, fome horfed ; and fome walked. Here Citizens ; there Students, many a one ; Here two together ; and, yonn one alone. Of Nymphs and Ladies, I have often ey'd A thoufand walking at one Evening tide ; As many Gentlemen : and yong and old Of meaner fort, as many, ten times told.
Strana 236 - Burials, graves, and corpses, of course, are as conspicuous objects here as in all the rest. " You scarce could make a little infant's bed In all those plots, but you should pare a head, An arm, a shoulder, or a leg away, Of one or other who there buried lay. One grave did often many scores enclose Of men and women : and it may be those, That could not in two parishes agree, Now in one little room at quiet be. Yon lay a heap of skulls ; another there ; Here, half unburied, did a corpse appear. Close...
