Frasi Thomas Dekker

„And though mine arm should conquer twenty worlds,
There ’s a lean fellow beats all conquerors.“

— Thomas Dekker

„ALANZO: Wrongs, like great whirlwinds,
Shake highest battlements. Few for heaven would care,
Should they be ever happy.“

— Thomas Dekker

And for it, the mad Furies swing their brands
About the bride-chamber.“

„ONAELIA:You are like common beadles, apt to lash
Almost to death poor wretches not worth striking,
But fawn with slavish flattery on damned vices
So great men act them. You clap hands at those,
Where the true poet indeed doth scorn to gild
A gaudy tomb with glory of his verse,
Which coffins stinking carrion.“

— Thomas Dekker

„I was ne’er so thrummed since I was a gentleman.“

— Thomas Dekker

„KING: I am full of thoughts,
A thousand wheels toss my incertain fears,
There is a storm in my hot boiling brains,
Which rises without wind. A horrid one.“

O sweet content!
Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex'd?
O punishment!“

Poem Sweet Content http://www.bartleby.com/101/204.html

„A wise man poor
Is like a sacred book that’s never read,—
To himself he lives, and to all else seems dead.
This age thinks better of a gilded fool
Than of a threadbare saint in wisdom’s school.“

Thine acts shall be a new Apocrypha.“

— Thomas Dekker

That e’er wore earth about him was a sufferer;
A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit,
The first true gentleman that ever breathed.“
