p. Cymbeline. Act III. Sc. 3.
Commerce has set the mark of selfishness;
The signet of its all-enslaving power
Upon a shining ore, and called it gold:
Before whose image bow the vulgar great,
The vainly rich, the miserable proud,
The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and
kings,

And with blind feelings reverence the power
That grinds them to the dust of misery.
But in the temple of their hireling hearts
Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn
All earthly things but virtue.

9. SHELLEY Queen Mab. Pt. V. St. 4.

And live obedient to the law, in trust
That what will come, and must come, shall

LORD JOHN RUSSELL-Introduction to the Correspondence of the Duke of Bedford.

A man busied about decrees; Condemning some to death, and some to exile;

Ransoming him, or pitying, threat'ning the other.

f. Coriolanus. Act I. Sc. 6.

For government, through high, and low, and lower,

Put into parts, doth keep in one consent;
Congreeing in a full and natural close,
Like music.

g. Henry V. Act I. Sc. 2.

Why this it is, when men are rul'd by women. h. Richard III. Act I. Sc. 1.

The school boy whips his taxed top, the beardless youth manages his taxed horse, with a taxed bridle, on a taxed road; and the dying Englishman, pouring his medicine, which has paid seven per cent., flings himself back on his chintz bed, which has paid twenty-two per cent., and expires in the arms of an apothecary who has paid a license of a hundred pounds for the privilege of putting him to death.
