Page 68 - I do remember an apothecary, — And hereabouts he dwells, — whom late I noted In tatter'd weeds, with overwhelming brows, Culling of simples ; ' meagre were his looks, Sharp misery had worn him to the bones : And in his needy shop a tortoise hung, An alligator stuff...
Page 23 - Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract to-night: It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say It lightens.
