Стр. 191 - Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
Стр. 120 - Now Signiors how like you mine Host ? did I not tell you he was a madde round knaue, and a merrie one too: and if you chaunce to talke of fatte Sir lohn Old-castle, he wil tell you, he was his great Grandfather, and not much vnlike him in Paunch, if you marke him well by all descriptions ; and see where hee appeares againe.
Стр. 250 - Olympian games or Pythian fields; Part curb their fiery steeds, or shun the goal With rapid wheels, or fronted brigades form. As when, to warn proud cities, war appears Waged in the troubled sky, and armies rush To battle in the clouds, before each van Prick forth the aery knights, and couch their spears, Till thickest legions close ; with feats of arms From either end of heaven the welkin burns.

Стр. 28 - Antipodes : joine all your hands together, and with your bodies cast a ring about me : let me behold your ghastly vizages, that my paper may receive their true pictures...
Стр. 129 - And now I returne to more pleasant Arguments, Gentlemen Gallants, to make you laugh ere you be quite out of your Capen : this that I discourse of now is a prettie merrie accident that happened about Shoreditch, although the intent was sad and Tragicall, yet the euent was mirthfull and pleasant : The goodman (or rather as I may fitlier tearme him, the bad-man of a House) being sorely pesterd with the death of seruants, and to auoyde all suspition of the Pestilence from his house aboue all others,...
Стр. 113 - What Signior Ginglespur, the first Gallant I mette in Powles, since the one and thirtie daie, or the decease of July, and I may fitly call it the decease, for there deceast aboue three hundred that daye, a shrewde Prologue marry to the Tragedie that followed : and yet I speake somewhat improperly to call it a Prologue, because those that died were all out of their Partes; What dare you venture Sig. at the latter ende of a Fraye now ? I meane not at a Fraye with swordes and Bucklers, but with sores...
Стр. xxxii - The wonderfull Yeare, 1603; wherein is shewed the Picture of London, lying sicke of the Plague. At the Ende of all, like a mery Epilogue to a dull Play, certaine Tales are cut out in sundry Fashions, of purpose to shorten the Lives of long Winters Nights, that lye watching in the darke for us.
