Top 15 Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas Quotes

I take the world to be but as a stage,
Where net-maskt men do play their personage.

Weakened and wasted to skin and bone.

Through thick and thin, both over hill and plain.

Who well lives, long lives; for this age of ours
Should not be numbered by years, daies, and hours.

Out of the book of Natur's learned brest.

Flesh of thy flesh, nor yet bone of thy bone.

Who breaks his faith, no faith is held with him.

My lovely living boy,
My hope, my hap, my love, my life, my joy.

Only that he may conform
To tyrant custom.

The will for deed I doe accept.

Soft carpet-knights, all scenting musk and amber.

Will change the pebbles of our puddly thought
To orient pearls.

Did thrust as now in others' corn his sickle.

In the jaws of death.

In every hedge and ditch both day and night
We fear our death, of every leafe affright.
