Set Phrases: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations
O! never will I trust to speeches penn'd, Nor to the motion of a school-boy's tongue; Nor never come in visor to my friend; Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song; Taffata phrases, silken terms precise, Three-pil'd hyperboles, spruce affectation, Figures pedantical; these summer flies Have blown me full of maggot ostentation: I do forswear them.— L. L. v. 2
