More from Henry Fielding
Enough is equal to a feast.
Oons, sir! do you say that I am drunk? I say, sir, that I am as sober as a judge.
Oh, the roast beef of England, And old England's roast beef!
Much may be said on both sides.
Money is the fruit of evil as often as the root of it.
The dusky night rides down the sky, And ushers in the morn; The hounds all join in glorious cry, The huntsman winds his horn, And a-hunting we will go.
