Tuwhit ! tuwhoo ! A merry note ! While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
Page 278 - But there is one argument in favour of sentimental comedy which will keep it on the stage, in spite of all that can be said against it. It is of all others the most easily written. Those abilities, that can hammer out a novel, are fully sufficient for the production of a sentimental comedy.
Page 130 - There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke; When down her weedy trophies and herself Fell in the weeping brook.
Page 122 - Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.
