You have not seen the last of my bonnet and me.
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions. I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. The brain may devise laws for the blood; but a hot temper leaps over a cold decree: such a hare is madness, the youth, to skip o’er the meshes of good counsel, the cripple.

Extremely high: Half a league, half a league, half a league onward!
Very high: Hats off! along the street they come! The flag is passing by.
High: Sail on, sail on, O ship of state!
Rather high: Now’s the day and now’s the hour!
