Página 271 - Law ! I care not for law. I can but die, and 'tis in a good cause. — My lady shall be satisfied of my truth and innocence, though it cost me my life. Lady Wish.
Página 256 - If the familiarities of our loves had produced that consequence of which you were apprehensive, where could you have fixed a father's name with credit, but on a husband?

Página 33 - Have look'd no way, but unto public good, To pious uses, and dear charity Now grown a prodigy with men.
