My cheer of mind destroy.
Whilst thus I sing, I am a king,
Although a poor blind boy!

Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.

As good be out of the world as out of the fashion.

Off with his head—; so much for Buckingham.

We shall find no fiend in hell can match the fury of a disappointed woman,—scorned, slighted, dismissed without a parting pang.

Oh, how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring!
