Lord! to see the absurd nature of Englishmen
Lord! in the dullest insipid manner that ever lover did Lust and wicked lives of the nuns heretofore in England Luxury and looseness of the times Lying a great while talking and sporting in bed with my wife Made a lazy sermon, like a Presbyterian Made to drink, that they might know him not to be a Roundhead Made him admire my drawing a thing presently in shorthand Magnifying the graces of the nobility and prelates Make a man wonder at the good fortune of such a fool Making their own advantages to the disturbance of the peace Man cannot live without playing the knave and dissimulation Mankind pleasing themselves in the easy delights of the world Many thousands in a little time go out of England Many women now-a-days of mean sort in the streets, but no men Mass, and some of their musique, which is not so contemptible Matters in Ireland are full of discontent Mazer or drinking-bowl turned out of some kind of wood Mean, methinks, and is as if they had married like dog and bitch Meazles, we fear, or, at least, of a scarlett feavour Methought very ill, or else I am grown worse to please Mightily pleased with myself for the business that I have done Mightily vexed at my being abroad with these women Mighty fond in the stories she tells of her son Will Milke, which I drank to take away, my heartburne Mind to have her bring it home Mirrors which makes the room seem both bigger and lighter Money I have not, nor can get Money, which sweetens all things Montaigne is conscious that we are looking over his shoulder |
