Page 16 - But nature makes that mean; so over that art, Which you say adds to nature, is an art That nature makes.

This is an art Which does mend nature — change it rather; but The art itself is nature.

Page 36 - These earthly godfathers of heaven's lights, That give a name to every fixed star, Have no more profit of their shining nights, Than those that walk, and wot not what they are.
Page 28 - The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils ; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.
