There is no Theam more plentiful to scan,
Then is the glorious goodly Frame of Man.
What is well done is done soon enough.
La Semaine; ou, Création du monde (1578)
Or savage beasts upon a thousand hils.
La Semaine; ou, Création du monde (1578)
The will for deed I doe accept.
La Seconde Semaine (1584)
Even as a surgeon, minding off to cut
Some cureless limb,—before in ure he put
His violent engins on the vicious member,
Bringeth his patient in a senseless slumber,
And grief-less then (guided by use and art),
To save the whole, sawes off th' infested part.
La Semaine; ou, Création du monde (1578)
Not unlike the bear which bringeth forth
In the end of thirty dayes a shapeless birth;
But after licking, it in shape she drawes,
And by degrees she fashions out the pawes,
The head, and neck, and finally doth bring
To a perfect beast that first deformed thing.
La Semaine; ou, Création du monde (1578)
Living from hand to mouth.
La Seconde Semaine (1584)
