mirth, foregone all custom of exercises; and, indeed, it

brave o'erhangirig firmament, this majestieal -roof
fretted with golden fire, why, ifappeareth no other
thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of
vapowrs. What a piece of work is man ! How noble
in reason ! how infinite in faculty ! in form and
moving how express and admirable ! in action how
like an angel ! in apprehension how like a god ! the
beatrty^of the world the paragon of animals ! And yet,
to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights'
not me - no, nor" woman neither, though by your smil-
ing you seem to say so. .
