Being fed by us, you used us so

As that ungentle gull, the cuckoo's birdf,
Useth the sparrow: did oppress our nest;
Grew by our feeding to so great a bulk,

36-ii. 2.

That even our love durst not come near your sight, For fear of swallowing.

18-v. 1.

510.

Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye.

A devil, a born devil, on whose nature

Nurtures can never stick; on whom my pains,
Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost;

And as, with age, his body uglier grows,

So his mind cankers.

A fearful eye thou hast: Where is that blood,
That I have seen inhabit in those cheeks?
So foul a sky clears not without a storm.

16-iv. 2.

His face, though full of cares, yet shew'd content;

So mild, that Patience seem'd to scorn his woes.

An humble gait, calm looks, eyes wailing still,
A brow unbent, that seem'd to welcome woe;
Cheeks neither red nor pale, but mingled so
That blushing red no guilty instance gave,
Nor ashy pale the fear that false hearts have.
But, like a constant and confirmed devil,
He entertain'd a show so seeming just,

The cuckoo's chicken, who being hatched and fed by the sparrow, in whose nest the cuckoo's egg was laid, grows in time able to devour her nurse.

That jealousy itself could not mistrust,
False-creeping craft and perjury should thrust
Into so bright a day such black-faced storms,
Or blot with hell-born sin such saint-like forms.

Thy sin 's not accidental, but a tradeh.

Poems.

5-iii. 1.

The middle of humanity thou never knewest, but the extremity of both ends. When thou wast in thy gilt, and thy perfume, they mocked thee for too much curiosity; in thy rags thou knowest none, but art despised for the contrary. 27-iv. 3.

518.

Why should we be tender,

To let an arrogant piece of flesh threat us;

Play judge, and executioner, all himself? 31-iv. 2.

519.

In seeking tales and informations,

Against this man, (whose honesty the devil

And his disciples only envy at,)

Ye blew the fire that burns ye.

520.

Whose disposition, all the world well knows,

Will not be rubb'd, nor stopp'd.

His show

Beguiles him, as the mournful crocodile
With sorrow snares relenting passengers;
Or as the snake, roll'd in a floweringk bank,
With shining checker'd slough', doth sting a child,
That, for the beauty, thinks it excellent.

Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites,

Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher-friends, time's flies m, Cap and knee slaves, vapours, and minute-jacks".

27-iii. 6,

If thou wert honourable,
Thou would'st have told this tale for virtue, not
For such an end thou seek'st; as base, as strange.

From thy report, as thou from honour.

527.

31-i. 7.

How fairly this lord strives to appear foul! takes virtuous copies to be wicked; like those, that, under hot ardent zeal, would set whole realms on fire. Of such a nature is his politic love. 27-iii. 3.

I would not buy

Their mercy at the price of one fair word;
Nor check my courage for what they can give,
To have 't with saying, Good morrow.

529.

28-iii. 3.

He hath no friends, but who are friends for fear.

530.

Thou disease of a friend, and not himself!
Has friendship such a faint and milky heart,
It turns in less than two nights?

After his patient's death.

Tremble, thou wretch,

That hast within thee undivulged crimes,

Unwhipp'd of justice.

Thou wilt prove his.

Too bad for bad report.

through circumvolutions.

Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despised substance of divinest show!
Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,
A damned saint, an honourable villain!

537.

35-iii. 2.

If not a usuring kindness; and as rich men deal gifts, Expecting in return twenty for one?

He that will give good words to thee, will flatter

This top-proud fellow,

Whom from the flow of gall I name not, but
From sincere motions P,) by intelligence,
And proofs as clear as founts in July, when
We see each grain of gravel, I do know
To be corrupt and treasonous.

And every tongue brings in a several tale,

And every tale condemns me for a villain.

Such smiling rogues as these,

Like rats, oft bite the holy cords atwain

That in the natures of their lords rebels;

Bring oil to fire, snow to their colder moods;

P Honest indignation.
