Like a rough orator, that brings more truth
Than rhetoric, to make good his accusation.
Great Duke of Florence (1627)
Giants in
Their promises, but those obtained, weak pigmies
In their performance.
Great Duke of Florence (1627)
But in our Sanazarro 'tis not so,
He being pure and tried gold; and any stamp
Of grace, to make him current to the world,
The duke is pleased to give him, will add honour
To the great bestower; for he, though allow'd
Companion to his master, still preserves
His majesty in full lustre.
