Page 66 - Would have mourn'd longer— married with my uncle, My father's brother, but no more like my father Than I to Hercules : within a month : Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, She married.

Page 76 - Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me! You would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass: and there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ, yet cannot you make it speak. 'Sblood, do you think, I am easier to be played on than a pipe...
Page 11 - The true difference is that one relates what has happened, the other what may happen. Poetry, therefore, is a more philosophical and a higher thing than history: for poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular.
