Popularne fragmenty
Strona 4 - He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason?

Strona 49 - They would not then, if they were trusted with fair and hopeful armies, suffer them, for want of just and wise discipline, to shed away from about them like sick feathers, though they be never so oft...
Strona 346 - Squire's lady or the vicar's wife are perhaps the only females that are stared at for their finery: but in the...
Strona 69 - The corners of the room full of the best chose hunting and hawking poles ; an oyster table at the lower end, which was of constant use twice a day all the year round, for he never failed to eat oysters before dinner and supper through all seasons: the neighbouring town of Poole supplied him with them.
Strona 80 - Anon comes Pyramus, sweet youth and tall, And finds his trusty Thisby's mantle slain ; Whereat, with blade, with bloody blameful blade, He bravely broached his boiling bloody breast; And Thisby, tarrying in mulberry shade, His dagger drew, and died.
