His language, where he could spare or pass by a jest, was nobly censorious.* No man ever spoke more neatly, more pressly,* more weightily, or suffered less emptiness, less idleness, in what he uttered.

There appeared the voluptuous charms of her to whom the heir of the throne had in secret plighted his faith.
الصفحة 247 - Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; .and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
الصفحة 66 - Cutler saw tenants break and houses fall; For very want he could not build a wall.
