Página 136 - Second's time, could ever pretend to ? Our only hopes, for the good of their souls, can be that these people go to the play-house as they do to church — to sit still, look on one another, make no reflection, nor mind the play more than they would a sermon.
Página 85 - Jago's hands might be the more in Blood, and be yet the more abominable Villain: who without that was too wicked on all Conscience; And had more to answer for, than any Tragedy, or Furies could inflict upon him. So there can be nothing in the characters, either for the profit, or to delight an Audience. The third thing to be consider'd is the Thoughts.
Página 83 - Souldier, so we may be sure he should be like other Souldiers of our acquaintance; yet never in Tragedy, nor in Comedy, nor in Nature was a Souldier with his Character; take it in the Authors own words; Em.
Página 136 - What can remain with the Audience to carry home with them from this sort of Poetry for their use and edification?

Página 141 - Why should that name be sounded more than yours? Write them together, yours is as fair a name; Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well; Weigh them, it is as heavy; conjure with 'em, Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Caesar.
Página 109 - Words, be they Spanish, or Polish, or any inarticulate sound, have the same effect, they can only serve to distinguish, and, as it were, beat time to the Action.

Página 79 - First, This may be a caution to all Maidens of Quality how, without their Parents consent, they run away with Blackamoors [. . .} Secondly, This may be a warning to all good Wives that they look well to their Linnen.
