Excerpt from Old Times and New: Or, a Few Raps Over the Knuckles of the Present Age

"In this, the antique and well-noted face
Of plain old form is much disfigured,
And like a shifted wind into a sail
It makes the course of thoughts to fetch about,
Startles and frights consideration,
Makes sound opinion sick and truth suspected,
For putting on so new a fashioned robe." - King John.

"Let me not live
After flame lacks oil, to be the snuff
Of younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses
All but now things disdain; whose judgements are
Mere father's of their garments: whose constancy
Expires before their fashions."
