LORD ORMONT AND HIS AMINTA, V4 [GM#86][GM86V10.TXT]4480

A bird that won't roast or boil or stew

Acting is not of the high class which conceals the art

Ah! we fall into their fictions

Bad luck's not repeated every day Keep heart for the good

Began the game of Pull

By nature incapable of asking pardon

Consciousness of some guilt when vowing itself innocent

Having contracted the fatal habit of irony

He had to shake up wrath over his grievances

Her vehement fighting against facts

His aim to win the woman acknowledged no obstacle in the means

His restored sense of possession

How to compromise the matter for the sake of peace?

I could be in love with her cruelty, if only I had her near me

Men who believe that there is a virtue in imprecations

Not men of brains, but the men of aptitudes

Not the indignant and the frozen, but the genially indifferent

One is a fish to her hook; another a moth to her light

One night, and her character's gone

Passion added to a bowl of reason makes a sophist's mess

Policy seems to petrify their minds

Rage of a conceited schemer tricked

Respect one another's affectations

To time and a wife it is no disgrace for a man to bend

Uncommon unprogressiveness

When duelling flourished on our land, frail women powerful

Where heart weds mind, or nature joins intellect

With what little wisdom the world is governed
