Page 467 - State ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate, et induti loricam justitiae, et calceati pedes in praeparatione evangelii pacis : in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei, in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere : et galeam salutis assumite, et gladium Spiritus (quod est verbum Dei...
Page 525 - Hee built this house upon leased ground, by which meanes the landlord and hee had a great suite in law, and, by his death, the like troubles fell on us, his sonnes ; wee then bethought us of altering from thence, and at like expence built the Globe...
Page 329 - What sleep is this doth seize thee so like death, And is not it ? wake, feel her in my breath: Behold, I come, sent from the Stygian sound, As a dire vapour that had cleft the ground. To ingender with the night, and blast the day; Or like a pestilence that should display Infection through the world: which thus I do.

Page 307 - If mine be most, lo ! thus I make it more ; Kick up thy heels in air, tear off thy robe, Play with thy beard and nostrils. Thus 'tis fit (And no man take compassion of thy state) To use th' ingrateful viper, tread his brains Into the earth.
Page 304 - The rugged Charon fainted, And ask'da navy, rather than a boat, To ferry over the sad world that came: The maws and dens of beasts could not receive The bodies that those souls were frighted from; And e'en the graves were fill'd with men yet living, Whose flight and fear had mix'd them with the dead.
Page 10 - When you take up a play-book (if you ever do take one up) it strikes you as being a very trifling thing — a mere insubstantial pamphlet beside the imposing bulk of the latest six-shilling novel. Little do you guess that every page of the play has cost more care, severer mental tension, if not more actual manual labour, than any chapter of a novel, though it be fifty pages long.
Page 57 - The Benefit of the Doubt. It may be open to question whether problem plays read by the fireside hold the attention or even arouse the interest in proportion to the labour bestowed upon them. At any rate this is the case with Mr. Pinero's dramas, which differ from Ibsen's in that they seem always written with an eye to the...
