Sayfa 84 - Howe'er it be, it seems to me 'Tis only noble to be good. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood.
Sayfa 77 - tis hard with us to define. In other Countries he is known by his Privileges; in Westminster -Hall he is one that is reputed one ; in the Court of Honour, he that hath Arms.
Sayfa 77 - Nor God Almighty: but he can make a Gentleman by Creation. If you ask which is the better of these two, Civilly, the Gentleman of Blood, Morally, the Gentleman by Creation may be the better; for the other may be a Debauched Man, this a Person of worth.
Sayfa 98 - Here thou, great ANNA ! whom three realms obey, Dost sometimes counsel take — and sometimes tea.
