John Marston quotes

Who winks and shuts his apprehension up. (John Marston)
Sing of the nature of women, and then the song shall be surely full of variety; old crotchets and most sweet closes. It shall be humorous, grave, fantastic, amorous, melancholy, sprightly, one in all, and all in one. View quote
John Marston
Through danger safety comes - through trouble rest. View quote
John Marston
For see, the dapple-grey coursers of the morn Beat up the light with their bright silver hoofs, And chase it through the sky. View quote
John Marston
Marston is a writer of great merit, who rose to tragedy from the ground of comedy, and whose forte was not sympathy, either with the stronger or softer emotions, but an impatient scorn and bitter indignation against the vices and follies of men, which vented itself either in comic irony or in lofty invective. He was properly a satirist. View quote
John Marston
Foul canker of fair virtuous action, Vile blaster of the freshest blooms on earth, Envys abhorrèd child, Detraction, I here expose, to thy all-tainting breath, The issue of my brain: snarl, rail, bark, bite, Know that my spirit scorns Detraction's spite. View quote
John Marston
Speak, speak, let terror strike slaves mute, Much danger makes great hearts most resolute. View quote
