Page 114 - Urswick, command the dukeling and these fellows To Digby, the Lieutenant of the Tower: With safety let them be convey'd to London. It is our pleasure no uncivil outrage, Taunts or abuse be suffer'd to their persons; They shall meet fairer law than they deserve. Time may restore their wits, whom vain ambition Hath many years distracted. War. Noble thoughts Meet freedom in captivity: the Tower, Our childhood's dreadful nursery!

Page 9 - STILL to be haunted, still to be pursued, Still to be frighted with false apparitions Of pageant majesty, and new-coin'd greatness, As if we were a mockery king in state, Only ordain'd to lavish sweat and blood, In scorn and laughter, to the ghosts of York, Is all below our...
Page 467 - Saw. Strike, do: and wither'd may that hand and arm Whose blows have lam'd me, drop from the rotten trunk. Abuse me ! beat me! call me hag and witch !
