Shall perish; so far off it is the state
Or grace of speech should hope a lasting date.
Much phrase that now is dead shall be reviv’d,
And much shall die that now is nobly liv’d,
If custom please, at whose disposing will
The power and rule of speaking resteth still.
B. Jonson.
Interdum tamen et vocem Comœdia tollit,
Iratusque Chremes tumido delitigat ore,
