Grocott & Ward, comps.  Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed.  189-?.
 
Run
 
Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it.
        Habakkuk, Chap. ii. Ver. 2.		  1
But truths on which depends our main concern,
That ’tis our shame and misery not to learn,
Shine by the side of every path we tread
With such a lustre, he that runs may read.
        Cowper.—Tirocinium, Line 77.		  2
        Satire’s my weapon, but I’m too discreet
To run a-muck and tilt at all I meet.
        Pope.—Imitations of Horace, Book II. Sat. 1.		  3
But yet I run before my horse to market.
        Shakespeare.—King Richard III., Act I. Scene 2. (Gloster.)		  4
