More from Thomas Middleton
Wilt make haste to give up thy verdict because thou wilt not lose thy dinner.
That disease Of which all old men sicken,—avarice.
’Tis slight, not strength, that gives the greatest lift.
In spite of my teeth.
From thousands of our undone widows One may derive some wit.
Beat all your feathers as flat down as pancakes.
