Strona 20 - Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead Are but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhood That fears a painted devil. If he do bleed, I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal, For it must seem their guilt.
Strona 18 - Methinks I should know you, and know this man; Yet I am doubtful; for I am mainly ignorant What place this is; and all the skill I have Remembers not these garments; nor I know not Where I did lodge last night.

Strona 81 - He looks up as if reflecting ; for, although his eye is directed towards the spectator, his mind is evidently fixed on his subject. The expression of the head is remarkably fine and spirited : he is dressed in black, with a white lace ruff and ruffles. The local tone of the flesh is reddish ; the execution careful. The whole bespeaks it to be the work of a clever painter, and it seems to me to be decidedly an original portrait. The ground is black.
