_A wild beast there is in AEgypt, called orix, which the AEgyptians say,
doth stand full against the dog starre when it riseth, looketh wistly
upon it, and testifieth after a sort by sneesing, a kind of worship...._
Philemon Holland.
'_Did'st thou ever see a lark in a cage? Such is the soul in the body:
this world is like her little turf of grass; and the heaven o'er our
heads, like her looking-glass, only gives us a miserable knowledge of
the small compass of our prison...._'
John Webster.
'_Provoke them not, fair sir, with tempting words; the heavens are
gracious...._'
Thomas Kyd.
