The one verse for the other’s sake;
For one for sense, and one for rhyme,
I think ’s sufficient at one time.

Hudibras. Part ii. Canto i. Line 23.

What wood a cudgel ’s of by th’ blow;
Some kick’d until they can feel whether
A shoe be Spanish or neat’s leather.

More followers than a thief to the gallows.

Say fools for arguments use wagers.

As fire in antique Roman urns. 1

But so much money as ’t will bring?

Then spare the rod and spoil the child. 2

The sun had long since in the lap
Of Thetis taken out his nap,
And, like a lobster boil’d, the morn
From black to red began to turn.

Have always been at daggers-drawing,
And one another clapper-clawing.

For truth is precious and divine,—
Too rich a pearl for carnal swine.

As well as other courts o’ th’ nation?

Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns.
