Yet better thus,
and known to be contemn'd,

:19:26

The wretch that thou hast blown unto
the worst owes nothing to thy blasts.

:20:02
Away, good friend, be gone.
:20:05
Thy comforts can do me no good
at all, thee they may hurt.

:20:09

:20:46
In the last night's storm I such
a fellow saw.

:20:49
Which made me think
a man a worm.

:20:54
My son came then into my mind.
:20:58
I have heard more since.
