Thomas Shadwell


Her dazzle like the sun in his Meridian.	1
Dive, like ducks.	2
Lean as a skeleton.	3
A wise man is never disappointed. Man’s life is like a game at tables; if at any time the cast you most shall need does not come up, let that which comes instead of it be mended by your play.	4
Moody as a poet.	5
As ridiculous as to venture your life for another man’s quarrel.	6
Snores like the base-pipe of an Organ.	7
Thin as a skeleton.	8
Troublesome as a monkey.	9
Witless as a jackdaw.	10
