第 128 頁 - So have I seen, when Caesar would appear, And on the stage at half-sword parley were, Brutus and Cassius, oh how the audience Were ravished! with what wonder they went thence.

第 128 頁 - As when hee said in the person of Caesar, one speaking to him ; Caesar thou dost me wrong. Hee replyed : Caesar did never wrong, but with just cause and such like: which were ridiculous.
第 172 頁 - I will speak of one man more excelling in that craft than others, that went about in King James his time, and long since, who called himself the Kings Majesties most excellent Hocus Pocus, and so was he called, because that at the playing of every trick, he used to say 'Hocus pocus, tontus, talontus, vade celeriter jubeo,' a dark composure of words, to blinde the eyes of the beholders.
