“Why should we rise because 'tis light? Did we lie down because t'was night?”

“Virtue? A fig! 'Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus.”

“A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with light weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain.”

“Tis safter to be that which we destroyThan by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.”

“We are oft to blame in this, -'tis too much proved, - that with devotion's visage,and pios action we do sugar o'erthe devil himself.”

“Return'd so soon! Rather approached too late: the capron burns, the pig falls from the spit, the clock hath strucken twelve upon the bell; my mistress made it one upon my cheek: she is hot because the meat is cold; the meat is cold because you have no stomach, you have no stomach, having broke your fast; but we, that know what 'tis to fast and pray, are pentent for your default today.”

“Tis too much proved—that with devotion's visage And pious action we do sugar o'er The devil himself.”
