11031	Would not a gentleman be disgraced by having his wife sing publicly for hire?
11031	is it you, you dogs?
11031	sir, would you prevent any people from feeding themselves, if by any honest means they can do it?"
11031	sir,"exclaimed Johnson,"a fellow who claps a hump upon his back and a lump on his leg and cries,''_ I am Richard III._''?
2423	And how was that affair? 2423 And the cat here, sir,"said the youth, who wished for instruction;"pray in what class is she?"
2423	And who succeeded Romulus?
2423	And who will be my biographer,said he,"do you think?"
2423	And why should they be denied such sweeteners of their existence?
2423	Are not they charming?
2423	Are you jealous of your wife, you stupid blockhead?
2423	Books without the knowledge of life are useless,I have heard him say;"for what should books teach but the art of_ living_?
2423	But do you read it_ with facility_, I say?
2423	Do you not perceive, then,says Johnson,"that Xenophon on this occasion commends like a pedant, and Pere Rollin applauds like a slave?
2423	Dr.--- asked me,said he,"why I did not join in their public worship when among them?
2423	How,said he,"do other people bear them?"
2423	How,says he,"is an army governed?
2423	I would rather,answered I,"remember Prior''s verses, and ask--''What need of books these truths to tell, Which folks perceive that can not spell?
2423	If you had had children, sir,said I,"would you have taught them anything?"
2423	Inter erroris salebrosa longi, Inter ignotae strepitus loquelae, Quot modis mecum, quid agat requiro Thralia dulcis? 2423 Lovely courier of the sky, Whence and whither dost thou fly?
2423	Should you like it in English,said he,"thus?"
2423	Tene mulceri fidibus canoris? 2423 The scholar''s pride can Brent disarm?
2423	What answer did the Doctor make to your story, sir?
2423	What answer did you give your friend, sir?
2423	What good are we doing with all this ado?
2423	What help has she called in?
2423	What is her disease?
2423	What shall we learn from_ that_ stuff?
2423	What signifies,says some one,"giving halfpence to common beggars?
2423	What was it, sir?
2423	What was the subject, madam?
2423	Who founded Rome, then?
2423	Why do you delight,said he,"thus to thicken the gloom of misery that surrounds me?
2423	Why does nobody,said our Doctor,"begin the fashion of driving six spavined horses, all spavined of the same leg?
2423	Why will you ask him in terms that he does not comprehend?
2423	Why, child,said he,"what harm could that do the fellow?
2423	Why, no,replied he,"why should I always write ridiculously?
2423	Why, she gets her living, does she not,said he,"without her mother''s help?
2423	Why, what are they thinking upon, sir?
2423	Why, what do they_ do_ to her, man? 2423 Why, what would you expect, dear sir,"said he,"from fellows that eat frogs?"
2423	Why, what_ do_ they do to her, my lad?
2423	Why,says Johnson, pulling a heap of halfpence from his pocket,"did not the king make these guineas?"
2423	Will it do this way in English, sir?
2423	''And when do you go to bed, sir?''
2423	A young fellow asked him abruptly one day,"Pray, sir, what and where is Palmyra?
2423	After a few months had elapsed he asked them,"If they could recollect who first destroyed the monasteries in our island?"
2423	Among all your lamentations, who eats the less-- who sleeps the worse, for one general''s ill- success, or another''s capitulation?
2423	And must we spectacles apply, To see what hurts our naked eye?''
2423	And what wonder that he should have an avidity for the sole delight he was able to enjoy?
2423	Are not ten hours enough for tuition?
2423	As Mr. Johnson had an astonishing memory, I asked him if he could remember Queen Anne at all?
2423	As we stood on the stage looking at some machinery for playhouse purposes:"Now we are here, what shall we act, Mr. Johnson-- The Englishman at Paris?"
2423	Can a prudent Dove decline Blissful bondage such as mine?
2423	Do the footmen kiss her?"
2423	Dr. Johnson recommended the university,"for you read Latin, sir, with_ facility_?"
2423	He turned back, stood still two minutes on the carriage- step--"When I have written my letter for Dick, I may hang myself, may n''t I?"
2423	His heart can soft Guadagni warm?
2423	How else,"added he,"do the gamesters manage when they play for more money than they are worth?"
2423	How would the world be worse for it, I may ask, if all your relations were at once spitted like larks, and roasted for Presto''s supper?"
2423	I asked him upon this if he ever disputed with his wife?
2423	I asked him why he doated on a coach so?
2423	I asked if her husband returned her regard?
2423	I inquired if she was handsome?
2423	I tell you, the woman is ugly and sickly and foolish and poor; and would it not make a man hang himself to hear such a creature say it was happy?
2423	If every man who wears a laced coat( that he can pay for) was extirpated, who would miss them?"
2423	In earnest?
2423	Is he not, sir?"
2423	Is it business?
2423	Is not here sufficient accumulation of horror without anticipated mourning?"
2423	Johnson?"
2423	Johnson?"
2423	Mr. Thrale,"turning to my husband,"what shall you and I do that is good for Tom Davies?
2423	One day, however, hearing me praise a favourite friend with partial tenderness as well as true esteem:"Why do you like that man''s acquaintance so?"
2423	One day, when he was speaking upon the subject, I asked him if he ever huffed his wife about his dinner?
2423	Or scenes with sweet delusion charm The climacteric eye?
2423	Pray, sir, is it irr_e_parable or irrep_air_able that one should say?"
2423	Says Garrick to him one day,"Why did not you make me a Tory, when we lived so much together?
2423	Seeing me laugh most violently,"Why, what would''st have, child?"
2423	Tene cantorum modulis stupere?
2423	Tene per pictas oculo elegante Currere formas?
2423	The family and Mr. Scott only were present, who, in a jocose way, clapped him on the back, and said,"What''s all this, my dear sir?
2423	What are stars and other signs of superiority made for?"
2423	When I asked Dr. Johnson who was the best man he had ever known?
2423	When they were gone home,"Well, sir,"said I,"how did you like little miss?
2423	Why do not you oftener make use of copper?
2423	Will it not, sir?"
2423	Will the people have done with it; and shall I never hear a sentence again without the_ French_ in it?
2423	Will_ anybody''s_ mind bear this eternal microscope that you place upon your own so?"
2423	Would not you, sir,"turning to Mr. Thrale,"rather give away money than porter?"
2423	_ Art sick_?"
2423	and how is a man the worse, I wonder, in his health, purse, or character, for being called Holofernes?"
2423	and tell What is bliss, and which the way?''
2423	but how, I wonder, are we to decide in so very short an acquaintance, whether it is supplied by a spring or a reservoir?"
2423	have not all insects gay colours?"
2423	is it love?
2423	where''s your difficulty?
2423	who the plague is hurt with all this nonsense?
6018	''A good scholar, sir?''
6018	''Are you of that opinion as to the portraits of ancestors, whom one has never seen?''
6018	''Ay, and what we''( looking to me)?
6018	''Ay, sir,''he replied;''but how much worse would it have been, if we had been neglected?''
6018	''But consider, sir; what is the House of Commons?
6018	''But is not the case now, that, instead of flattering one person, we flatter the age?''
6018	''But is there not reason to fear that the common people may be oppressed?''
6018	''But what do you say, sir, to the ancient and continued tradition of the Church upon this point?''
6018	''But what motive could he have to make himself a Laplander?''
6018	''But, sir, if they have leases, is there not some danger that they may grow insolent?
6018	''But,''said I,''if the duke invites us to dine with him to- morrow, shall we accept?''
6018	''But,''said she,''is it not enough if we keep it?
6018	''Do n''t you know that I can hang you, if I please?''
6018	''Do you think, sir, that Burke has read Cicero much?''
6018	''From whence, then, does all this money come?''
6018	''Have you the Idler?''
6018	''How can there,''said he,''be a physical effect without a physical cause?''
6018	''If it were so, why has it ceased?
6018	''Is he an oculist?''
6018	''Nor no woman, sir?''
6018	''Pray,''said he,''can they pronounce any LONG words?''
6018	''Sir, do n''t you perceive that you are defaming the countess?
6018	''Then Hume is not the worse for Seattle''s attack?''
6018	''Upon what terms have you it?''
6018	''Very rich mines?''
6018	''What do you say to the Bishop of Meaux?''
6018	''What if we had him here?''
6018	''What is Pekin?
6018	''What is to become of society, if a friendship of twenty years is to be broken off for such a cause?''
6018	''What, sir?
6018	''Why is not the original deposited in some publick library, instead of exhibiting attestations of its existence?
6018	''Why, John,''said I,''did you think the king should be controuled by a parliament?''
6018	''Why, sir, if moral evil be consistent with the government of the Deity, why may not physical evil be also consistent with it?
6018	''Why,''said Sir Allan,''are they not all my people?''
6018	A young lady of quality, who was present, very handsomely said,''Might not the son have justified the faults?''
6018	About one he came into my room, and accosted me,''What, drunk yet?''
6018	After saluting him, Malcolm, pointing to the sea, said,''What, John, if the prince should be prisoner on board one of those tenders?''
6018	And had he not also a perpetual feast of fame?
6018	And should not we tire, in looking perpetually on this rock?
6018	And what was this book?
6018	Are we not to believe a man, when he says he has a great desire to see another?
6018	Are you baptized?''
6018	Are you not rather too late in the year for fine weather, which is the life and soul of seeing places?
6018	As I was going away, the duke said,''Mr Boswell, wo n''t you have some tea?''
6018	At breakfast, I asked,''What is the reason that we are angry at a trader''s having opulence?''
6018	Being told that Dr Johnson did not hear well, Lochbuy bawled out to him,''Are you of the Johnstons of Glencro, or of Ardnamurchan?''
6018	But may it not be answered, that a man may be altered by it FOR THE BETTER; that his spirits may be exhilarated, without his reason being affected?
6018	But what could he do?
6018	But, as a learned friend has observed to me,''What trials did he undergo, to prove the perfection of his virtue?
6018	Can you name one book of any value, on a religious subject, written by them?''
6018	Consider, sir; what is the purpose of courts of justice?
6018	Did he envy us the birth- place of the king?]
6018	Did he ever experience any great instance of adversity?''
6018	Do n''t you believe that I was very impatient for your coming to Scotland?''
6018	Do n''t you know that, if I order you to go and cut a man''s throat, you are to do it?''
6018	Do you think, sir, they ought to have such an influence?''
6018	Dr Johnson again solemnly repeated''"How far is''t called to Fores?
6018	Dr Johnson asked, what made the difference?
6018	Dr Johnson said,''A wind, or not a wind?
6018	Dr Johnson said,''How THE DEVIL can you do it?''
6018	Finding that there was now a discovery, Malcolm asked,''What''s to be done?''
6018	For, when I asked him,''Would not you, sir, start as Mr Garrick does, if you saw a ghost?''
6018	From whom can it be, in this commerce, that I desire to hide any thing?
6018	Garrick was asked,''Sir, have you a free benefit?''
6018	He asked, how did the women do?
6018	He asked,''Is this Mr Boswell?''
6018	He had told me, that one day in London, when Dr Adam Smith was boasting of it, he turned to him and said,''Pray, sir, have you ever seen Brentford?''
6018	He laughed heartily at his lordship''s saying he was an ENTHUSIASTICAL farmer;''for,''said he,''what can he do in farming by his ENTHUSIASM?''
6018	He looked at me, as if I had talked of going to the North Pole, and said,''You do not insist on my accompanying you?''
6018	He spoke of Prince Charles being here, and asked Mrs Macdonald,''WHO was with him?
6018	How can you talk so?
6018	I am desiring to become charitable myself; and why may I not plainly say so?
6018	I asked if this was not unlucky: would not they hurt one another?
6018	I put him in mind of it to- day, while he expressed his admiration of the elegant buildings, and whispered him,''Do n''t you feel some remorse?''
6018	I said,''Would not the same objection hold against the Trinity as against transubstantiation?''
6018	If this be the case, why are not these distinctly ascertained?
6018	Is not a great part of it chosen by peers?
6018	Is there shame in it, or impiety?
6018	It was striking to hear all of them drinking?
6018	Let Dr Smith consider: Was not Mr Hume blest with good health, good spirits, good friends, a competent and increasing fortune?
6018	Let us consider; can there be more wanting to complete the Meditation on a Pudding?
6018	M''Leod asked, what is the particular excellence of Burke''s eloquence?
6018	Must we never have more convenience than Rorie More had?
6018	Now, how low should a price be?
6018	Of such ancestry who would not be proud?
6018	Or is it, perhaps, better to be brought about by indirect means, and in this artful manner?
6018	Pray, what do you know about his motions?
6018	Quo vagor ulterius?
6018	Sir, he would reason thus:"What will it cost me to be there once in two or three summers?
6018	The contest now is, What HAS he?''
6018	The landlady said to me,''Is not this the great Doctor that is going about through the country?''
6018	The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?''
6018	The wish is laudable: why should I form designs to hide it?
6018	Tuesday, 14th September Dr Johnson said in the morning,''Is not this a fine lady?''
6018	Was it upon that occasion that he expressed no curiosity to see the room at Dumfermline, where Charles I was born?
6018	What can the M''Craas tell about themselves a thousand years ago?
6018	What have your clergy done, since you sunk into presbyterianism?
6018	What is it then that I am doing?
6018	What is it to live and not to love?''
6018	What made you buy such a book at Inverness?''
6018	What part of Bayle do you mean?
6018	What principle is there, why a loadstone attracts iron?
6018	When Dr Johnson came in, she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s- head, sir?''
6018	Which of all these dishes is unwholsome?''
6018	Who CAN like the Highlands?
6018	Why a tree grows upwards, when the natural tendency of all things is downwards?
6018	Why an egg produces a chicken by heat?
6018	Why do n''t we see men thus produced around us now?
6018	Why does he not tell how to fill it?''
6018	Why is not the form of the petition brought nearer to the meaning?
6018	Why not as well be Rorie More all over, as live upon his rock?
6018	Why, at least, does it not keep pace, in some measure, with the progress of time?
6018	Your old preceptor repeated, with much solemnity, the speech How far is''t called to Fores?
6018	but instantly corrected himself,''How can you do it?''
6018	is this the case?''
6018	or what degree of confidence should there be to make a bargain be set aside?
6018	said Dr Johnson,''you must have a very great trade?''
6018	sir, what can a nation that has not letters tell of its original?
6018	who is it that I would impose on?
10451	A Miss,said the Prince of Wales,"why are not all girls Misses?"
10451	But was he respected?
10451	Did not I shew you the lion well to- day?
10451	Mr. Mallet,says Garrick in his gratitude of exultation,"have you left off to write for the stage?"
10451	Pray, Sir,said Johnson,"do you know who was the author of the Lord''s Prayer?"
10451	Was he frae the Indies?
10451	Who forgets, Sir?
10451	Why,said I,"have you ever seen Prince Charles?"
10451	''A good scholar, Sir?''
10451	''Are you of that opinion as to the portraits of ancestors, whom one has never seen?''
10451	''Ay, Sir,''he replied; but how much worse would it have been, if we had been neglected[1091]?''
10451	''But consider, Sir; what is the House of Commons?
10451	''But is not the case now, that, instead of flattering one person, we flatter the age?''
10451	''But is there not reason to fear that the common people may be oppressed?''
10451	''But what do you say, Sir, to the ancient and continued tradition of the church upon this point?''
10451	''But what motive could he have to make himself a Laplander?''
10451	''But, Sir, if they have leases is there not some danger that they may grow insolent?
10451	''But, Sir, is it not somewhat singular that you should_ happen_ to have_ Cocker''s Arithmetick_ about you on your journey?
10451	''But,( said I,) if the Duke invites us to dine with him to- morrow, shall we accept?''
10451	''But,( said she,) is it not enough if we keep it?
10451	''Do you think, Sir, that Burke has read Cicero much?''
10451	''From whence, then, does all this money come?''
10451	''Have you_ The Idler_?
10451	''How can there( said he) be a physical effect without a physical cause[762]?''
10451	''If it were so, why has it ceased?
10451	''Is he an oculist?''
10451	''Is that a''your objection, mon?''
10451	''Nor no woman, Sir?''
10451	''Or is it, perhaps, better to be brought about by indirect means, and in this artful manner?
10451	''Pray,( said he,) can they pronounce any_ long_ words?''
10451	''Sir, do n''t you perceive that you are defaming the countess?
10451	''T''other day as he was with the Prince of Wales, Kitty Fisher passed by, and the child named her; the Prince, to try him, asked who that was?
10451	''Then Hume is not the worse for Beattie''s attack?
10451	''This Sir Allan,''said he,''was he a_ regular baronet_, or was his title such a traditional one as you find in Ireland?''
10451	''Upon what terms have you it?''
10451	''Very rich mines?''
10451	''Was it upon that occasion that he expressed no curiosity to see the room at Dumfermline, where Charles I. was born?
10451	''We have now( said he) a splendid dinner before us; which of all these dishes is unwholesome?''
10451	''What did Johnson say?''
10451	''What do you say to the Bishop of Meaux?''
10451	''What if we had him here?''
10451	''What is Pekin?
10451	''What is to become of society, if a friendship of twenty years is to be broken off for such a cause?''
10451	''What, Sir?
10451	''Why is it recorded?''
10451	''Why is not the original deposited in some publick library, instead of exhibiting attestations of its existence?
10451	''Why, John,( said I,) did you think the king should be controuled by a parliament?''
10451	''Why, Sir, if moral evil be consistent with the government of the Deity, why may not physical evil be also consistent with it?
10451	''Why, he said,''replied Smith, with the deepest impression of resentment,''he said,_ you lie!_''''And what did you reply?''
10451	''Why,( said Sir Allan,) are they not all my people?''
10451	( said Dr. Johnson,) you must have a very great trade?''
10451	( said he,) do n''t you know that I can hang you, if I please?''
10451	--Did he envy us the birth- place of the king?''
10451	--He afterwards said to me,"Did you observe the wonderful confidence with which young Tytler advanced, with his front already_ brased_?"''
10451	403):--''Who is secure against Jack Straw and a whirlwind?
10451	A young lady of quality, who was present, very handsomely said,''Might not the son have justified the fault?''
10451	About one he came into my room, and accosted me,''What, drunk yet?''
10451	After saluting him, Malcolm, pointing to the sea, said,''What, John, if the prince should be prisoner on board one of those tenders?''
10451	And had he not also a perpetual feast of fame[76]?
10451	And should not we tire, in looking perpetually on this rock?
10451	And what was this book?
10451	And when I said,''Lord, what then shall I do?''
10451	Are we not to believe a man, when he says he has a great desire to see another?
10451	Are you not rather too late in the year for fine weather, which is the life and soul of seeing places?
10451	At breakfast, I asked,''What is the reason that we are angry at a trader''s having opulence[881]?''
10451	Being told that Dr. Johnson did not hear well, Lochbuy bawled out to him,''Are you of the Johnstons of Glencro, or of Ardnamurchan[914]?''
10451	Boswell, wo n''t you have some tea?''
10451	Boswell?''
10451	But, Madam, what is the meaning of it?
10451	But, as a learned friend has observed to me,''What trials did he undergo to prove the perfection of his virtue?
10451	Can you name one book of any value, on a religious subject, written by them[692]?''
10451	Consider, Sir; what is the purpose of courts of justice?
10451	Delapsae coelo flammae licet acrius urant Has gelida exstingui non nisi morte putas?
10451	Did he ever experience any great instance of adversity?''
10451	Did you never see my head before my Thesaurus?"''
10451	Do n''t you believe that I was very impatient for your coming to Scotland?''
10451	Do n''t you know that, if I order you to go and cut a man''s throat, you are to do it?''
10451	Do you think, Sir, they ought to have such an influence?''
10451	Does mother- love its charge prepare?
10451	Dr. Johnson again[358] solemnly repeated--''How far is''t called to Fores?
10451	Dr. Johnson asked, What made the difference?
10451	Dr. Johnson said in the morning,''Is not this a fine lady[580]?''
10451	Dr. Johnson said,''A wind, or not a wind?
10451	Dr. Johnson said,''How_ the devil_ can you do it?''
10451	Finding that there was now a discovery, Malcolm asked''What''s to be done?''
10451	For, when I asked him,''Would you not, Sir, start as Mr. Garrick does, if you saw a ghost?''

10451	Garrick was asked,''Sir, have you a free benefit?''
10451	He asked her,''What is that about?
10451	He asked, how did the women do?
10451	He laughed heartily at his lordship''s saying he was an_ enthusiastical_ farmer;''for,( said he,) what can he do in farming by his_ enthusiasm_?''
10451	He looked at me, as if I had talked of going to the North Pole, and said,''You do not insist on my accompanying you?''
10451	He spoke of Prince Charles being here, and asked Mrs. Macdonald,''_ Who_ was with him?
10451	He''s done wi''Paoli-- he''s off wi''the land- louping scoundrel of a Corsican; and whose tail do you think he has pinned himself to now, mon?''
10451	How long shall the capital city of Scotland, yea, and the chief street of it, stink worse than a common sewer?''
10451	How should one who has had only a Scotch education be quite at home at Eton?
10451	I am desiring to become charitable myself; and why may I not plainly say so?
10451	I asked if this was not unlucky: would not they hurt one another?
10451	I asked in what?
10451	I put him in mind of it to- day, while he expressed his admiration of the elegant buildings, and whispered him,''Do n''t you feel some remorse[994]?''
10451	I said,''Would not the same objection hold against the Trinity as against Transubstantiation?''
10451	I told him my intentions, but he was not satisfied, and said,''Do you know, I should as soon have thought of picking a pocket, as doing so?''
10451	If this be the case, why are not these distinctly ascertained?
10451	In his_ London_, a poem, are the following nervous lines:--''For who would leave, unbrib''d, Hibernia''s land?
10451	Inter erroris salebrosa longi, Inter ignotae strepitus loquelae, Quot modis mecum, quid agat, requiro, Thralia dulcis?
10451	Is not a great part of it chosen by peers?
10451	Is there shame in it, or impiety?
10451	It seems as if Shakespeare asked himself, what is a prince likely to say to his attendants on such an occasion?
10451	Lady M''Leod asked, if no man was naturally good?
10451	Let Dr. Smith consider: Was not Mr. Hume blest with good health, good spirits, good friends, a competent and increasing fortune?
10451	Let us consider; can there be more wanting to complete the Meditation on a Pudding?
10451	M''Leod asked, what is the particular excellence of Burke''s eloquence?
10451	Mr. Croker says that''the exact words are:-- bony?
10451	Must we never have more convenience than Rorie More had?
10451	Need any one ask from what motive this was wrote?
10451	Non bilem ille movet, nulla hic pituita; Salutis Quae spes, si fallax ardeat intus aqua?
10451	Now, how low should a price be?
10451	Of such ancestry who would not be proud?
10451	On p. 301, after mentioning_ Rasselas_, he continues:--''Did I tell you I had a letter from Johnson, inclosing Vernon''s_ Parish- clerk_?''
10451	Or change the rocks of Scotland for the Strand?
10451	Pray, what do you know about his motions?
10451	Quis tandem arte nova domitam mitescere Pestem Credat,& antiquas ponere posse minas?

10451	Scrase gives us fine fruit; I wished you my pear yesterday; but then what would one pear have done for you?''
10451	She seems inspir''d, and can herself inspire: How then( if malice rul''d not all the fair) Could Daphne publish, and could she forbear?
10451	Sir, he would reason thus:"What will it cost me to be there once in two or three summers?
10451	So who has the best of it, my reverend friend?''
10451	Soothes she, I ask, her spouse''s care?
10451	Stores she her mind with knowledge rare, Or lively tale?
10451	Suppose you afterwards know him, and find that he does not practise what he teaches; are you to give up your former conviction?
10451	That look not like the inhabitants o''the earth, And yet are on''t?''
10451	The contest now is, What_ has_ he?''
10451	The landlady said to me,''Is not this the great Doctor that is going about through the country?''
10451	The prince''s answer was noble:''And would_ you_ not have done the same, madam, had he come to you, as to her, in distress and danger?
10451	The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?''.
10451	The wish is laudable: why should I form designs to hide it?
10451	To me it was highly comick, to see the grave philosopher,--the Rambler,-toying with a Highland beauty[713]!--But what could he do?
10451	We were at his house in Cheshire[ Shropshire].... Do not you remember how he rejoiced in having_ no_ park?
10451	What are these, So wither''d, and so wild in their attire?
10451	What can the_ M''Craas_[619] tell about themselves a thousand years ago?
10451	What do you think, mon?
10451	What have your clergy done, since you sunk into presbyterianism?
10451	What is it then that I am doing?
10451	What is it to live and not to love?''
10451	What made you buy such a book at Inverness?''
10451	What part of Bayle do you mean?
10451	What principle is there, why a loadstone attracts iron?
10451	What that can fill the hunger of ignorance, or quench the thirst of curiosity?''
10451	When Dr. Johnson came in, she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s- head, Sir?''
10451	Who_ can_ like the Highlands[1020]?
10451	Why do n''t we see men thus produced around us now?
10451	Why does he not tell how to fill it?''
10451	Why is it that whatever you see, and whoever you see, you are to be so indiscriminately lavish of praise?"
10451	Why is not the form of the petition brought nearer to the meaning?
10451	Why not as well be Rorie More all over, as live upon his rock?
10451	Why should such a writer be so forgetful of human comfort, as to give any countenance to that dreary infidelity which would make us poor indeed?''
10451	Why, at least, does it not keep pace, in some measure, with the progress of time?
10451	Why, perhaps, five hundred pounds; and what is that, in comparison of having a fine retreat, to which a man can go, or to which he can send a friend?"
10451	Your old preceptor[929] repeated, with much solemnity, the speech--"How far is''t called to Fores?
10451	[ 1035]''The peace you seek is here-- where is it not?
10451	[ 1189] Johnson wrote to Mrs. Thrale on Sept. 13, 1777:--''Boswell wants to see Wales; but except the woods of Bachycraigh, what is there in Wales?
10451	[ 236] Goldsmith in_ Retaliation_, a few months later, wrote of William Burke:--''Would you ask for his merits?
10451	[ 528]''They which forewent us did leave a Roome for us, and should wee grieve to doe the same to these which should come after us?

10451	who is it that I would impose on?
10451	why a tree grows upwards, when the natural tendency of all things is downwards?
10451	why an egg produces a chicken by heat?
8918	And was he excused?
8918	Ay, ay, man,said he,"pray where is the great wit in that speech?"''
8918	But you think, Sir, that Warburton is a superiour critick to Theobald?
8918	But, Sir,( said Mr. Burney,) you''ll have Warburton upon your bones, wo n''t you?
8918	Very true, and where will you find such_ men_ and such_ horses_?''
8918	What do you think of them?
8918	Who, Sir? 8918 Why, Sir, do you stare?
8918	''And who are you,''asked Johnson,''that talk thus liberally?''
8918	''And who will be my biographer,''said he,''do you think?''
8918	''But why does my dear Mr. Warton tell me nothing of himself?
8918	''Can I do any thing to promoting the diploma?

8918	''What''s the matter?''
8918	''You perhaps ask, whither should I go?

8918	But if a man can be supposed to make no provision for death in war, what can be the state that would have awakened him to the care of futurity?

8918	Ego cur, acquirere pauca Si possum, invideor; cum lingua Catonis et Enni Sermonem patrium ditaverit, et nova rerum Nomina protulerit?
8918	Garrick overhearing him, exclaimed,''eh?
8918	Have you any more notes on Shakspeare?
8918	He asked me, I suppose, by way of trying my disposition,''Is not this very fine?''
8918	He behaved with perfect composure at his execution, and called out''_ Dulce et decorum est pro patriâ mori_?''
8918	He continues:--''Such is the reason of our practice; and who shall treat it with contempt?
8918	He looked at me as if I had talked of going to the North Pole, and said,"You do not insist on my accompanying you?"
8918	He then addressed himself to Davies:''What do you think of Garrick?
8918	He then began to descant upon the force of testimony, and the little we could know of final causes; so that the objections of, why was it so?
8918	He then called to the boy,''What would you give, my lad, to know about the Argonauts?''
8918	How are you to get all the etymologies?
8918	How goes Apollonius[844]?
8918	How other- wise was Johnson able to hire and furnish a large house for his school?
8918	How shall we determine the proportion of intrinsick merit?
8918	How would"disposition"do?...
8918	I am afraid my stay with you can not be long; but what is the inference?
8918	I ask him a plain question,''What do you mean to teach?''
8918	I have already assumed the bee for my device, and who ever brought an action of trover or trespass against that avowed free- booter?
8918	If Mrs. Johnson had not money, how did she and her husband live from July 1735 to the spring of 1738?
8918	If you said two and two make four, he would say,"How will you prove that, Sir?"
8918	In all modern periods of this country, have not the writers on one side been regularly called hirelings, and on the other patriots?''
8918	Is Boulter there?''
8918	Is that not too strong?
8918	Is there not sad stuff?
8918	Is this the language of one who wished to blast the laurels of Milton[683]?
8918	Johnson has thus translated:--''Canst thou believe the vast eternal mind Was e''er to Syrts and Libyan sands confin''d?
8918	Johnson?''
8918	Late in life, if any man praised a book in his presence, he was sure to ask,''Did you read it through?''
8918	Lord Lansdowne was the Granville of Pope''s couplet--''But why then publish?
8918	May I enquire after her?
8918	May I fondly hope that to the maker of so large an Index will be extended the gratitude which Lord Bolingbroke says was once shown to lexicographers?
8918	May not this, however, be a poetical fiction?
8918	May there not be the same difference between men who read as their taste prompts and men who are confined in cells and colleges to stated tasks?
8918	Misfortune, indeed, he may yet feel; for where is the bottom of the misery of man?
8918	Mr. Burney asked him then if he had seen Warburton''s book against Bolingbroke''s_ Philosophy_[983]?
8918	Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate, Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?

8918	On Oct. 10, 1779, Boswell told Johnson, that he had been''agreeably mistaken''in saying:--''What would it avail me in this gloom of solitude?''

8918	Quis sanus hirtam agrestemque vestem Lucullo obtulisset, cujus omnia fere Serum opificia, omnia Parmae vellera, omnes Tyri colores latuerunt?
8918	Shall I come uninvited, or stay here where nobody perhaps would miss me if I went?
8918	Shall JOHNSON friendless range the town?
8918	Shall dull suspense corrupt the stagnant mind?
8918	Shall no dislike alarm, no wishes rise, No cries attempt the mercy of the skies?
8918	Shall the Presbyterian_ Kirk_ of Scotland have its General Assembly, and the Church of England be denied its Convocation?''
8918	Sir, you may analyse this, and say what is there in it?
8918	That he would choose this waste, this barren ground, To teach the thin inhabitants around, And leave his truth in wilds and deserts drown''d?''
8918	That it must be so soon quitted, is a powerful remedy against impatience; but what shall free us from reluctance?
8918	The Stuarts have found few apologists, for the dead can not pay for praise; and who will, without reward, oppose the tide of popularity?
8918	The passage is in Thomson''s_ Winter_, l. 116:--''In what far- distant region of the sky, Hush''d in deep silence, sleep ye when''tis calm?''
8918	The visit was paid early in the year, and was over in February; what haymakers were there at that season?
8918	They would all have some people under them; why not then have some people above them?''
8918	This most unlucky accident threw him into such a fit of shame and anger that he roared out like a bull,"What have I done?
8918	To either of these how could any answer be returned?
8918	To this circumstance Mr. Derrick alludes in the following lines of his_ Fortune, a Rhapsody_:''Will no kind patron JOHNSON own?
8918	Was Mallet anywise hurt by his publication of Lord Bolingbroke?
8918	Was there a single writer at that time who had objected to torture?
8918	Was there more than one?
8918	We can fit the two volumnes in two hours, ca n''t we?"
8918	What have I done?"''
8918	What then can be the reason why we lament more him that dies of a wound, than him that dies of a fever?
8918	What was Johnson doing meanwhile?
8918	What?
8918	What?
8918	What?''
8918	When the messenger who carried the last sheet to Millar returned, Johnson asked him,''Well, what did he say?''
8918	When would that man have prepared himself to die, who went to seek death without preparation?
8918	Where hangs the new volume[821]?
8918	Where warbles to thy ear the sacred throng, Thy moral sense, thy dignity of song?
8918	Where was Mrs. Johnson living at this time?
8918	Where was the offence?
8918	Whether Roper''s?
8918	Why then should I suppress it?
8918	Why''out of the abundance of the heart''should I not speak[75]?
8918	Why, now, there is stealing; why should it be thought a crime?
8918	Will it not, Sir?"
8918	Will you believe me, when I assure you he told me"he had but one, and that he kept for_ his own reading_?"''
8918	Will you now do my picture?
8918	With the debates, shall not I have business enough?
8918	Would your society[440], or any gentleman, or body of men that you know, take such a bargain?

8918	ye little short- sighted criticks, could JOHNSON be envious of the talents of any of his contemporaries?

15045	''And pray what became of her, Sir?'' 15045 ''And, for heaven''s sake, how came you to know her?''
15045	''Bet Flint,''cried Mrs. Thrale;''pray who is she?'' 15045 ''But surely,''said Mrs. Thrale,''if you fail, you will think yourself bound in honour to marry her yourself?''
15045	''What''s that you say, Madam?'' 15045 ''Why do you delight,''said he,''thus to thicken the gloom of misery that surrounds me?

15045	But who is this astride the pony, So long, so lean, so lank, so bony? 15045 During a moment he then fixed upon her an interrogative eye, that impetuously demanded:''Do you not perceive the change I am experiencing?''
15045	I then said,''Do you ever, Sir, hear, from her mother?'' 15045 Mr. Thrale talks now of going to Spa and Italy again; how shall we drag him thither?
15045	My poor little boy from Lombardy said as I walked him across our market,''These are sheeps''heads, are they not, aunt? 15045 Susan and Sophy said nothing at all, but they taught the two young ones to cry''Where are you going, mama?

15045	''But where,''cries Cuzzona,''is the loaf I spoke for?''
15045	''Harry,''said his father to her son,''are you listening to what the doctor and mamma are talking about?''
15045	''How''s this?''
15045	''Is she indeed?''
15045	''Nor write to me?''

15045	Has he cut his own throat?''
15045	He is the man in the world, I think, whom I most abhor, and who_ hates_ and_ professes_ to_ hate me_ the most; but what does that signifie?
15045	Her answer was,''To please the gentlemen, to be sure; for what other purpose could it be given me?"
15045	How do we know that these circumstances really belong to it?

15045	The exclamation"When shall I revisit Streatham?"
15045	The lack of literary and public interest is admitted and excused:[ Footnote 1:"Do you keep my letters?

10835	But should I sin beyond the hope of mercy, If, when religion prompts me to refuse, The dread of instant death restrains my tongue?
10835	But what avails So small a force?
10835	But what would be the security of the good, if the bad could, at pleasure, invade them from the sky?
10835	But whence this new- sprung hope?
10835	But who the coming changes can presage, And mark the future periods of the stage?
10835	But why all this rage against Dr. Johnson?
10835	But why this sudden warmth?
10835	But will not Britain hear the last appeal, Sign her foes''doom, or guard her fav''rites''zeal?
10835	But, Cali, let Irene share thy prayers; For what is length of days, without Irene?
10835	But, may it not be said, that every system of ethics must, or ought, to terminate, in plain and general maxims for the use of life?
10835	But, will she yet receive the faith of Mecca?
10835	By what enchantment does this lovely Greek Hold in her chains the captivated sultan?
10835	CALI Must Greece, still wretched by her children''s folly, For ever mourn their avarice or factions?
10835	Can Cali dare the stroke of heav''nly justice, In the dark precincts of the gaping grave, And load with perjuries his parting soul?
10835	Can Cali''s voice Concur to press a hapless captive''s ruin?
10835	Can Mahomet''s imperial hand descend To clasp a slave?
10835	Can a prudent dove decline Blissful bondage such as mine?
10835	Can brave Leontius be the slave of glory?
10835	Can gold remove the mortal hour?
10835	Can he restore the state he could not save?
10835	Can nothing do her good?
10835	Can that hoary wisdom, Borne down with years, still dote upon to- morrow?
10835	Can then th''assassin lift his treach''rous hand Against his king, and cry, remember justice?
10835	Can you write such a letter as this?
10835	Canst thou forget hereditary splendours, To live obscure upon a foreign coast, Content with science, innocence, and love?
10835	Caraza, speak-- have ye remark''d the bassa?
10835	Could not her pray''rs, her innocence, her tears, Suspend the dreadful sentence for an hour?
10835	Cur opulentus eges?
10835	DEAR MADAM,--Now I hope you are thinking: Shall I have a letter to- day from Lichfield?
10835	DEAR MADAM,--To the question, Who was impressed with consternation?
10835	Dar''st thou thus dally with Abdalla''s passion?
10835	Did Mahomet reproach, or praise her virtue?
10835	Did Mrs. Browne make any reply to your comparison of business with solitude, or did you quite down her?
10835	Did interposing angels guard her from him?
10835	Did no subverted empire mark his end?
10835	Did not roaring Cali, Just as the rack forc''d out his struggling soul, Name for the scene of death, Irene''s chamber?
10835	Did rival monarchs give the fatal wound?
10835	Did roaring whirlwinds sweep us from the ramparts?
10835	Did savage anger and licentious conquest Behold the hero with Aspasia''s eyes?
10835	Did that become the defender of the people of England?
10835	Did unresisted lightning aid their cannon?
10835	Did you proclaim this unexpected conquest?
10835	Did you turn her out of doors, to begin your journey?
10835	Ditescis, credo, quid restat?
10835	Do his enemies claim a privilege to abuse whatever is valuable to Englishmen, either in church or state?
10835	Do not we share the comprehensive thought, Th''enlivening wit, the penetrating reason?
10835	Do not you see me reduced to my first principles?
10835	Do not you wish to have been with us?
10835	Do they, with pain, repress the struggling shout, And listen eager to the rising wind?
10835	Do you go to the house where they write for the myrtle?
10835	Do you keep my letters?
10835	Do you not think we study this book hard?
10835	Do you see Dr. Woodward, or Dr. Harrington?
10835	Do you think he is likely to get the farm?
10835	Does adamantine faith invest his heart?
10835	Does cheerless diffidence oppress their hearts?
10835	Does envy seize thee?
10835	Does he not know, that kings are accountable for injustice permitted, as well as done?
10835	Does not thy bosom( for I know thee tender, A stranger to th''oppressor''s savage joy,) Melt at Irene''s fate, and share her woes?
10835	Does that immateriality, which, in my opinion, you have sufficiently proved, necessarily include eternal duration?"
10835	Every body was an enemy to that wig.--We will burn it, and get drunk; for what is joy without drink?
10835	For which Aspasia scorn''d the Turkish crown?
10835	For, why did Wolsey, near the steeps of fate, On weak foundations raise th''enormous weight?
10835	Forbear to speak of hazards; What has the wretch, that has surviv''d his country, His friends, his liberty, to hazard?
10835	Had he lived to be a secretary under Tiberius, what would now be said of his memory?
10835	Has silence press''d her seal upon his lips?
10835	Has treason''s dire infection reach''d my palace?
10835	Has wisdom no strength to arm the heart against calamity?
10835	Hast thou grown old, amidst the crowd of courts, And turn''d th''instructive page of human life, To ca nt, at last, of reason to a lover?
10835	Hast thou not search''d my soul''s profoundest thoughts?
10835	Have I for this defy''d the chiefs of Turkey, Intrepid in the flaming front of war?
10835	Have I for this preserv''d my guiltless bosom, Pure as the thoughts of infant innocence?
10835	Having mentioned Shakespeare and nature, does not the name of Montague force itself upon me?
10835	He lent our author five guineas, and then asked him,"How do you mean to earn your livelihood in this town?"
10835	How can a single hand attempt a life, Which armies guard, and citadels enclose?
10835	How comfortless is the sorrow of him, who feels, at once, the pangs of guilt, and the vexation of calamity, which guilt has brought upon him?
10835	How could a mind, hungry for knowledge, be willing, in an intellectual famine, to lose such a banquet as Pekuah''s conversation?"
10835	How did Aspasia welcome your address?
10835	How did you and your aunt part?
10835	I did not set to it very soon; and if I should go up to London with nothing done, what would be said, but that I was-- who can tell what?
10835	I have ceased to take much delight in physical truth; for what have I to do with those things which I am soon to leave?"
10835	I hope you will sympathize with me; but, perhaps,"My mistress, gracious, mild, and good, Cries: Is he dumb?
10835	If I had money enough, what would I do?
10835	If Lauder''s facts were really true, who would not be glad, without the smallest tincture of malevolence, to receive real information?
10835	If Miss**** followed a trade, would it be said, that she was bound, in conscience, to give or refuse credit at her father''s choice?
10835	If by that Latin word was meant, that he had not dined, because he wanted the means, who can read it, even at this hour, without an aching heart?
10835	If the soul could once survive its separation, what could it afterwards receive or suffer from the body?"
10835	If there is a manuscript from which the translation was made, in what age was it written, and where is it?
10835	In a place, where they found business or amusement, why should you alone sit corroded with idle melancholy?
10835	In all the schools of sophistry, is there to be found so vile an argument?
10835	In life, can love be bought with gold?
10835	In satires, epistles, and odes would they cope?
10835	In the deep mines of science, though Frenchmen may toil, Can their strength be compar''d to Locke, Newton, or Boyle?
10835	In the purlieus of Grub street, is there such another mouthful of dirt?
10835	In the whole quiver of malice, is there so envenomed a shaft?
10835	Infatuate loiterer, has fate, in vain, Unclasp''d his iron gripe to set thee free?
10835	Inter erroris salebrosa longi, Inter ignotae strepitus loquelae, Quot modis, mecum, quid agat, requiro, Thralia dulcis?
10835	Is Greece deliver''d?
10835	Is it a good or an evil to me, that she now loves me?
10835	Is it accident or age?
10835	Is it possible to love such a man?
10835	Is not each realm, that smiles with kinder suns, Or boasts a happier soil, already thine?
10835	Is not my soul laid open in these veracious pages?
10835	Is not the fate of Greece and Cali thine?
10835	Is the sultan the only happy man in his dominions?
10835	Is then your sov''reign''s life so cheaply rated, That thus you parley with detected treason?
10835	Is this a time for softness or for sorrow?
10835	Is this th''unshaken confidence in heav''n?
10835	Is this the boasted bliss of conscious virtue?
10835	Is this the fierce conspirator, Abdalla?
10835	Is this the recompense reserv''d for me?
10835	Is this the restless diligence of treason?
10835	Is''t not enough, he lives by our indulgence, But he must live to make his masters wretched?
10835	It must, it must be she;--her name?
10835	It remains to inquire, whether, in the lives before us, the characters are partial, and too often drawn with malignity of misrepresentation?
10835	Know''st thou not Cali?
10835	Know''st thou not yet, when love invades the soul, That all her faculties receive his chains?
10835	Late in life, if any man praised a book in his presence, he was sure to ask,"Did you read it through?"
10835	Let him persuade me to it-- if he can; Besides, he has fifty wives; and who can bear To have the fiftieth part, her paltry share?
10835	Look round, and tell me which of your wants is without supply: if you want nothing, how are you unhappy?"
10835	Lovely courier of the sky, Whence and whither dost thou fly?
10835	May not truth, as Johnson himself says, be conveyed to the mind by a new train of intermediate images?
10835	Mens mea, quid quereris?
10835	Much happiness it will not bring him; but what can he do better?
10835	Murem Asclepiades sub tecto ut vidit avarus, Quid tibi, mus, mecum, dixit, amice, tibi?
10835	Must I, for these, renounce the hope of heav''n, Immortal crowns, and fulness of enjoyment?
10835	Must I, in slow decline, To mute inglorious ease old age resign?
10835	Must dull suspense corrupt the stagnant mind?
10835	Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate, Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?
10835	Must no dislike alarm, no wishes rise, No cries invoke the mercies of the skies?
10835	Must then ambition''s votaries infringe The laws of kindness, break the bonds of nature, And quit the names of brother, friend, and father?
10835	My task perform''d, and all my labours o''er, For me what lot has fortune now in store?
10835	No just observer of life to record the virtues of the deceased?
10835	No peaceful desert, yet unclaim''d by Spain?
10835	No secret island in the boundless main?
10835	Nor found again the bright temptation fail?
10835	Not till this day, thou saw''st this fatal fair; Did ever passion make so swift a progress?
10835	Now, of whom shall I proceed to speak?
10835	Now, will any of his contemporaries bewail him?
10835	O say, bright being, in this age of absence, What fears, what griefs, what dangers, hast thou known?
10835	Of this great truth, sounded by the knowing to the ignorant, and so echoed by the ignorant to the knowing, what evidence have you now before you?
10835	Of what effect are they now, but to tell me, that my daughter will not be restored?"
10835	Of whom but Mrs. Montague?
10835	Or flow dissolving in a woman''s tears?
10835	Or hostile millions press him to the ground?
10835	Or liv''st thou now, with safer pride content,[ k]The wisest justice on the banks of Trent?
10835	Or pay, with speaking eyes, a lover''s homage?
10835	Or sprightly hope exalt their kindling spirits?
10835	Or why should he, whose violence of duty Has serv''d his prince so well, demand our silence?
10835	Or, bold ambition kindling in my breast, Attempt some arduous task?
10835	Or, how can Call''s flight restore our country?
10835	Or, were it best, Brooding o''er lexicons to pass the day, And in that labour drudge my life away?
10835	Our entrance is no violation of their privileges; we can take nothing from them, how then can we offend them?"
10835	Qua te laude, Deus, qua prece prosequar?
10835	Quae, sine morte, fuga est vitae, quam turba malorum Non vitanda gravem, non toleranda facit?
10835	Quid faciam?
10835	Quid labor efficiet?
10835	Quid salvere jubes me, pessime?
10835	Quis formae modus imperio?
10835	Quot vox missa pedes abit, horae parte secunda?
10835	Rasselas then entered with the princess and Pekuah, and inquired, whether they had contrived any new diversion for the next day?
10835	Rides?
10835	Rouse, Cali; shall the sons of conquer''d Greece Lead us to danger, and abash their victors?
10835	Say, by what fraud, what force, were you defeated?
10835	Scatt''ring, as thy pinions play, Liquid fragrance all the way: Is it business?
10835	Shall I not wish to cheer afflicted kings, And plan the happiness of mourning millions?
10835	Shall monarchs fear to draw the sword of justice, Aw''d by the crowd, and by their slaves restrain''d?
10835	Shall then the Greeks, unpunish''d and conceal''d, Contrive, perhaps, the ruin of our empire; League with our chiefs, and propagate sedition?
10835	Shall, then, the savage live, to boast his insult; Tell, how Demetrius shunn''d his single hand, And stole his life and mistress from his sabre?
10835	Sint pro legitimis pura labella sacris-- Quo vagor ulterius?
10835	Something of a letter you will have; how else can I expect that you should write?
10835	Speak thou, whose thoughts at humble peace repine, Shall Wolsey''s wealth, with Wolsey''s end, be thine?
10835	Still Cali lives: and must he live to- morrow?
10835	Still dost thou flutter in the jaws of death; Snar''d with thy fears, and maz''d in stupefaction?
10835	Still must we linger in uncertain hope?
10835	Such ecstasy of love, such pure affection, What worth can merit?
10835	Suspected still!--What villain''s pois''nous tongue Dares join Leontius''name with fear or falsehood?
10835	Tell me, if thou waterest, through all thy course, a single habitation from which thou dost not hear the murmurs of complaint?"
10835	Tene cantorum modulis stupere?
10835	Tene mulceri fidibus canoris?
10835	Tene per pictas, oculo elegante, Currere formas?
10835	Tertii verso quater orbe lustri, Quid theatrales tibi, Crispe, pompae?
10835	That reason gives her sceptre to his hand, Or only struggles to be more enslav''d?
10835	That vessel, if observ''d, alarms the court, And gives a thousand fatal questions birth: Why stor''d for flight?
10835	The following lines of Horace, may be deemed his picture in miniature:"Iracundior est paulo?
10835	The stratagem?
10835	These tedious narratives of frozen age Distract my soul;--despatch thy ling''ring tale; Say, did a voice from heav''n restrain the tyrant?
10835	These were the motives that induced Johnson to assist Lauder with a preface; and are not these the motives of a critic and a scholar?
10835	They had not, like the Spectators, the art of charming by variety; and, indeed, how could it be expected?
10835	Thy look, thy speech, thy action, all is wildness-- Who charges guilt, on me?
10835	To purchase heav''n has gold the power?
10835	To wait, remote from action, and from honour, An idle list''ner to the distant cries Of slaughter''d infidels, and clash of swords?
10835	To want, give affluence?
10835	Twenty months are passed; who shall restore them?"
10835	Unde hic Praxiteles?
10835	Was even envy silent?
10835	Was there no friend to pay the tribute of a tear?
10835	Was this the maid, whose love I bought with empire?
10835	Were all our favours lavish''d on a villain?
10835	What I have lost was certain, for I have certainly possessed it; but of twenty months to come, who can assure me?"
10835	What but their wish indulg''d in courts to shine, And pow''r too great to keep, or to resign?
10835	What can reverse thy doom?
10835	What canst thou boast superiour to Demetrius?
10835	What claim hast thou to plead?
10835	What cry?
10835	What dream of sudden power Has taught my slave the language of command?
10835	What felt the Gallic, traveller, When far in Arab desert, drear, He found within the catacomb, Alive, the terrors of a tomb?
10835	What fraud misleads him?
10835	What hadst thou lost, by slighting those commands?
10835	What have I to do with the heroes or the monuments of ancient times?
10835	What have you found to be the effect of knowledge?
10835	What more could force attempt, or art contrive?
10835	What murder''d Wentworth, and what exil''d Hyde, By kings protected, and to kings allied?
10835	What need of caution to report the fate Of her, the sultan''s voice condemn''d to die?
10835	What now remains?
10835	What passions reign among thy crew, Leontius?
10835	What reader of taste, what man of real knowledge, would not think his time well employed in an enquiry so curious, so interesting, and instructive?
10835	What sleepy charms benumb these active heroes, Depress their spirits, and retard their speed?
10835	What space does the idea of a pyramid occupy more than the idea of a grain of corn?
10835	What then remains?
10835	What ties to slaves?
10835	What was the consequence of the requisition made by Dr. Douglas?
10835	What well- known voice pronounc''d the grateful sounds, Freedom and love?
10835	What would dare to molest him, who might call, on every side, to thousands enriched by his bounty, or assisted by his power?
10835	When business is done, what remains but pleasure?
10835	When charms thus press on ev''ry sense, What thought of flight, or of defence?
10835	When did content sigh out her cares in secret?
10835	When did felicity repine in deserts?
10835	When he was told that Dr. Moisy visited Mr. Thrale, he inquired for what?
10835	When one of the songs was over, I asked the princess, that sat next to me,"What is that about?"
10835	When the bonny blade carouses, Pockets full, and spirits high-- What are acres?
10835	When will occasion smile upon our wishes, And give the tortures of suspense a period?
10835	Whence flow the hopes and fears, despair and rapture, Whence all the bliss and agonies of love?
10835	Whence is this rage; what barb''rous tongue has wrong''d me?
10835	Whence is this violence?
10835	Where hast thou linger''d, while th''incumber''d hours Fly, lab''ring with the fate of future nations, And hungry slaughter scents imperial blood?
10835	Where''s this fair traitress?
10835	Where''s this smiling mischief, Whom neither vows could fix, nor favours bind?
10835	Who calls for pardon from a wretch condemn''d?
10835	Who dines with you?
10835	Who hear thee speak, and not abandon reason?
10835	Who knows if Jove, who counts our score, Will toss us in a morning more?
10835	Who knows, ere this important morrow rise, But fear or mutiny may taint the Greeks?
10835	Who knows, if Mahomet''s awaking anger May spare the fatal bowstring till to- morrow?
10835	Who put it together in its present form?"
10835	Who start at theft, and blush at perjury?
10835	Who was more sincere and steady in his friendships?
10835	Who?
10835	Why all this glare of splendid eloquence, To paint the pageantries of guilty state?
10835	Why but to sink beneath misfortune''s blow, With louder ruin to the gulfs below?
10835	Why did I not speak, and refuse to hear?"
10835	Why did foolish indulgence prevail upon me?
10835	Why did you stay, deserted and betray''d?
10835	Why does the blood forsake thy lovely cheek?
10835	Why does thy soul retire into herself?
10835	Why foam the swelling waves, when tempests rise?
10835	Why has thy choice then pointed out Leontius, Unfit to share this night''s illustrious toils?
10835	Why roars the lioness, distress''d by hunger?
10835	Why shakes the ground, when subterraneous fires Fierce through the bursting caverns rend their way?
10835	Why shoots this chilness through thy shaking nerves?
10835	Why should Mr.**** suppose, that what I took the liberty of suggesting, was concerted with you?
10835	Why should the sultan shun the joys of beauty, Or arm his breast against the force of love?
10835	Why should we endeavour to attain that, of which the possession can not be secured?
10835	Why should you, who can so easily procure your ransome, think yourself in danger of perpetual captivity?
10835	Why then has nature''s vain munificence Profusely pour''d her bounties upon woman?
10835	Why, Stella, was it then decreed, The heart, once caught, should ne''er be freed?
10835	Why, then, did not this warlike amazon Mix in the war, and shine among the heroes?
10835	Why, when the balm of sleep descends on man, Do gay delusions, wand''ring o''er the brain, Sooth the delighted soul with empty bliss?
10835	Will e''er a happier hour revisit Greece?
10835	Will genius change_ his sex_ to weep?
10835	Will he not bend beneath a tyrant''s frown?
10835	Will he not melt before ambition''s fire?
10835	Will he not soften in a friend''s embrace?
10835	Will not that pow''r, that form''d the heart of woman, And wove the feeble texture of her nerves, Forgive those fears that shake the tender frame?
10835	Wilt thou descend, fair daughter of perfection, To hear my vows, and give mankind a queen?
10835	Wilt thou dismiss the savage from the toils, Only to hunt him round the ravag''d world?
10835	Wilt thou then head the troop upon the shore, While I destroy th''oppressor of mankind?
10835	Would this be better than building and planting?
10835	Would you not have been very sorry for me, when I could scarcely speak?
10835	Ye blind, officious ministers of folly, Could not her charms repress your zeal for murder?
10835	Yet, if any part of matter be devoid of thought, what part can we suppose to think?
10835	[ b]For who would leave, unbrib''d, Hibernia''s land, Or change the rocks of Scotland for the Strand?
10835	[ bb]Has heaven reserv''d, in pity to the poor, No pathless waste, or undiscover''d shore?
10835	[ ff]Where then shall hope and fear their objects find?
10835	[ h] Quid Romae faciam?
10835	[ k]For what but social guilt the friend endears?
10835	[ l]What gave great Villiers to th''assassin''s knife, And fix''d disease on Harley''s closing life?
10835	[ r] Usque adeo nihil est, quod nostra infantia coelum Hausit Aventinum?--[ s] Quid?
10835	[ x]How, when competitors, like these, contend, Can surly virtue hope to fix a friend?
10835	an accingar studiis gravioribus audax?
10835	and must the liberty of unlicensed printing be denied to the friends of the British constitution?
10835	and to slav''ry, freedom?
10835	and where should pleasure be sought, but under Mrs. Thrale''s influence?
10835	and why prepar''d by Cali?
10835	didst thou hear Irene?
10835	do I, once again, behold thee?
10835	how shall envy sooth her pain?
10835	is it love?
10835	is the tyrant fall''n?
10835	know''st thou not Demetrius?
10835	minus aptus acutis Naribus horum hominum?
10835	or can a soul, like mine, Unus''d to pow''r, and form''d for humbler scenes, Support the splendid miseries of greatness?
10835	or did she leave you by her usual shortness of visits?
10835	or how can either idea suffer laceration?
10835	or what crimes incense?
10835	or what faith reward?
10835	or who, that is struggling under his own evils, will add to them the miseries of another?
10835	or, dost thou wish to be again wandering and inquiring?
10835	or, is the subordinate degree only dangerous, and the supreme safe and glorious?
10835	or, is the sultan himself subject to the torments of suspicion, and the dread of enemies?"
10835	or, why could not you bear, for a few months, that condition to which they were condemned for life?"
10835	or, why should Cali fly?
10835	quicquid habebis In tumulum tecum, morte jubente, trahes?
10835	quod adulandi gens prudentissima laudat Sermonem indocti, faciem deformis amici?
10835	rideri possit, eo quod Rusticius tonso toga defluit, et male laxus In pede calceus haeret?
10835	said Rasselas to his sister:"is it without any efficacy to good?
10835	shall I be never suffered to forget those lectures, which pleased, only while they were new, and to become new again, must be forgotten?"
10835	tenebrisne pigram damnare senectam Restat?
10835	the dead Irene?
10835	what are houses?
10835	what bounds your pride shall hold, What check restrain your thirst of pow''r and gold?
10835	what can he do upon that subject?"
10835	what gratitude to foes?
10835	why thy pow''rs employ Only for the sons of joy; Only for the smiling guests, At natal or at nuptial feasts?
10835	with times which never can return, and heroes, whose form of life was different, from all that the present condition of mankind requires or allows?"
1564	And did not you tell him he was a rascal?
1564	But you think, Sir, that Warburton is a superiour critick to Theobald?
1564	But, Sir,( said Mr. Burney,) you''ll have Warburton upon your bones, wo n''t you?
1564	Certainly,( said the Doctor;) but,( turning to me,) how old is your pig?
1564	Did he indeed speak for half an hour?
1564	Pray, Sir,( said I,) how many opera girls may there be?
1564	Why so? 1564 Why, Sir, do you stare?
1564	''A flagelet, Sir!--so small an instrument?
1564	''And do you think that absolutely essential, Sir?''
1564	''And how was it, Sir?''
1564	''And if Jack Wilkes SHOULD be there, what is that to ME, Sir?
1564	''And pray, Sir, what do you do with them?
1564	''And what next?''
1564	''And who is the worse for that?''
1564	''Are you serious, Sir, in advising me to buy St. Kilda?
1564	''Are you?
1564	''But has he not brought Shakspeare into notice?''
1564	''But have they a moral right to do this?''
1564	''But have you not the THING?''
1564	''But how is a man to act, Sir?
1564	''But if I have a gardener at any rate?--''JOHNSON.
1564	''But if they should be good, why not give them hearty praise?''
1564	''But if we could have pleasure always, should not we be happy?
1564	''But if you see a friend going to tumble over a precipice?''
1564	''But is not the fear of death natural to man?''
1564	''But may not a man attain to such a degree of hope as not to be uneasy from the fear of death?''
1564	''But may we not fortify our minds for the approach of death?''
1564	''But of what use will it be, Sir?''
1564	''But stay,( said he, with his usual intelligence, and accuracy of enquiry,) does it take much wine to make him drunk?''
1564	''But then, Sir, their masses for the dead?''
1564	''But why did you not take your revenge directly?''
1564	''But why nations?
1564	''But why smite his bosom, Sir?''
1564	''But would you take the trouble of rearing it?''
1564	''But you would not have me to bind myself by a solemn obligation?''
1564	''But, Sir, does not Rousseau talk such nonsense?''
1564	''But, Sir, does not heat relax?''
1564	''But, Sir, if a bookseller should bring you a manuscript to look at?''
1564	''But, Sir, is it not a sad thing to be at a distance from all our literary friends?''
1564	''But, Sir, is it not very hard that I should not be allowed to teach my children what I really believe to be the truth?''
1564	''But, Sir, may there not be very good conversation without a contest for superiority?''
1564	''But, Sir, ought not Christians to have liberty of conscience?''
1564	''But, Sir, why do n''t you give us something in some other way?''
1564	''But, Sir, would not you wish to know old age?
1564	''But, was it not hard, Sir, to expel them, for I am told they were good beings?''
1564	''Colman, in a note on his translation of Terence, talking of Shakspeare''s learning, asks,"What says Farmer to this?
1564	''Confession?''
1564	''DEAR SIR,--What can be the reason that I hear nothing from you?
1564	''Did not he think of exhibiting you, Sir?''
1564	''Did you find, Sir, his conversation to be of a superiour style?''
1564	''Did you hear?''
1564	''Do n''t you eat supper, Sir?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, it is always culpable to laugh at a man to his face?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, that all who commit suicide are mad?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, that there are any perfect synonimes in any language?''
1564	''Do you think, Sir, you could make your Ramblers better?''
1564	''Does not Gray''s poetry, Sir, tower above the common mark?''
1564	''Does the dog talk of me?''
1564	''Early, Sir?''
1564	''Foote has a great deal of humour?''
1564	''For why( he urged,) should not Judges get riches, as well as those who deserve them less?''
1564	''HE''LL BE OF US,( said Johnson) how does he know we will PERMIT him?
1564	''Has Langton no orchard?''
1564	''Have not they vexed yourself a little, Sir?
1564	''Have you seen them, Sir?''
1564	''He for subscribers bates his hook, And takes your cash; but where''s the book?
1564	''Hold, Sir, do you believe that some will be punished at all?''
1564	''How can it be possible to spend that money in Scotland?''
1564	''How comes it that you tell me nothing of your lady?
1564	''How do you live, Sir?
1564	''How does poor Smart do, Sir; is he likely to recover?''
1564	''How is this to be known?
1564	''How is this, Sir?
1564	''How so, Sir?''
1564	''How so, Sir?''
1564	''How so, Sir?''
1564	''I suppose, Sir, you could not make them better?''
1564	''Is getting a hundred thousand pounds a proof of excellence?
1564	''Is it wrong then, Sir, to affect singularity, in order to make people stare?''
1564	''Is not a good garden a very common thing in England, Sir?''
1564	''Is not modesty natural?''
1564	''Is not the Giant''s- Causeway worth seeing?''
1564	''Is there not less religion in the nation now, Sir, than there was formerly?''
1564	''It is for fear of something that he has resolved to kill himself; and will not that timid disposition restrain him?''
1564	''Langton is a good Cumae, but who must be Sibylla?
1564	''May not he think them down, Sir?''
1564	''May we not take it as amusing fiction?''
1564	''Might not Mrs. Montagu have been a fourth?''
1564	''Must we then go by implicit faith?''
1564	''Nay, Madam, what right have you to talk thus?
1564	''Nay, Sir, how can you talk so?
1564	''Nay, Sir, how can you talk so?''
1564	''Nay, Sir, what talk is this?''
1564	''Nay, but my dear Sir, why should not you see what every one else sees?''
1564	''Nay,( said I, meaning to laugh with him at one of his prejudices,) ca n''t you say, it is not WORTH mapping?''
1564	''No, Sir, do YOU read books through?''
1564	''No, Sir; there will always be some truth mixed with the falsehood, and how can it be ascertained how much is true and how much is false?
1564	''Nor for being a Scotchman?''
1564	''Once he asked Tom Davies, whom he saw drest in a fine suit of clothes,"And what art thou to- night?"
1564	''Pray, Boswell, how much may be got in a year by an Advocate at the Scotch bar?''
1564	''Pray, Mr. Dilly, how does Dr. Leland''s History of Ireland sell?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, can you trace the cause of your antipathy to the Scotch?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, did you ever play on any musical instrument?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, have you been much plagued with authours sending you their works to revise?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, is not Foote an infidel?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, is the Turkish Spy a genuine book?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, what did he say was the appearance?''
1564	''Pray, Sir, what has he made of his story of a ghost?''
1564	''Pray, Sir,( said he,) whether do you reckon Derrick or Smart the best poet?''
1564	''Richardson?''
1564	''Shall I ask him?''
1564	''Should it not be, Sir, lashed the ocean and chained the winds?''
1564	''Should not he provide amusements for himself?
1564	''Should you not like to see Dublin, Sir?''
1564	''Sir, do you think him as bad a man as Voltaire?''
1564	''So then, Sir, you do not think ill of a man who wins perhaps forty thousand pounds in a winter?''
1564	''So then, Sir, you would allow of no irregular intercourse whatever between the sexes?''
1564	''So, Sir, though he sees an enemy to the state charging a blunderbuss, he is not to interfere till it is fired off?''
1564	''Such as Carte''s History?''
1564	''The idolatry of the Mass?''
1564	''The worship of Saints?''
1564	''Then, Sir, a poor Turk must be a Mahometan, just as a poor Englishman must be a Christian?''
1564	''Then, Sir, what is poetry?''
1564	''Then, Sir, you would not shoot him?''
1564	''Was he a scoundrel, Sir, in any other way than that of being a political scoundrel?
1564	''Was not Dr. John Campbell a very inaccurate man in his narrative, Sir?
1564	''Was there not a story of his ghost having appeared?''
1564	''Well, Sir, and what then?
1564	''Well, Sir: do we not know that a maid can in one afternoon make pickles sufficient to serve a whole family for a year?
1564	''Well, my boy, how do you go on?''
1564	''Were there not six horses to each coach?''
1564	''What did you say, Sir?''
1564	''What do they make me say, Sir?''
1564	''What do you mean by damned?''
1564	''What do you mean, Sir?
1564	''What do you think of Dr. Young''s Night Thoughts, Sir?''
1564	''What is that to the purpose, Sir?
1564	''What say you to Lord------?''
1564	''What then is the reason for applying to a particular person to do that which any one may do as well?''
1564	''What would you have me retract?
1564	''What''s the matter?''
1564	''What, Sir, a fellow who claps a hump on his back, and a lump on his leg, and cries"I am Richard the Third"?
1564	''What, Sir, a good book?''
1564	''What, Sir, is nothing gained by decoration and action?
1564	''What, Sir, will you allow no value to beauty in architecture or in statuary?
1564	''What, Sir, would you know what it is to feel the evils of old age?
1564	''What, Sir,''asks the hapless Boswell,''will sense make the head ache?''
1564	''What, Sir,( cried the gentleman,) do you say to"The busy day, the peaceful night, Unfelt, uncounted, glided by?"''
1564	''What, Sir,( said I,) are you going to turn Captain Macheath?''
1564	''What, by way of a companion, Sir?''
1564	''What,( said Elphinston,) have you not read it through?''
1564	''What?
1564	''Why do you wish that, Sir?''
1564	''Why should you write down MY sayings?''
1564	''Why then meet at table?''
1564	''Why then, Sir, did he talk so?''
1564	''Why then, Sir, did you go?''
1564	''Why then,( I asked,) is it thought disgraceful for a man not to fight, and not disgraceful not to speak in publick?''
1564	''Why was you glad?
1564	''Why yes, Sir; but what is that to the merit of the composition?
1564	''Why, Sir, did you go to Mrs. Abington''s benefit?
1564	''Why, Sir, do people play this trick which I observe now, when I look at your grate, putting the shovel against it to make the fire burn?''
1564	''Why, Sir, what does this prove?
1564	''Why, then, Sir, did you leave it off?''
1564	''Why, who are before him?''
1564	''Why, yes, Sir; and what then?
1564	''Will you not admit the superiority of Robertson, in whose History we find such penetration-- such painting?''
1564	''Will you not allow, Sir, that he draws very natural pictures of human life?''
1564	''Worth seeing?
1564	''Would not you have a pleasure in teaching it?''
1564	''Would you eat your dinner that day, Sir?''
1564	''Would you restrain private conversation, Sir?''
1564	''Would you teach this child that I have furnished you with, any thing?''
1564	''Yet Cibber was a man of observation?''
1564	''You have read his apology, Sir?''
1564	''You would not like to make the same journey again?''
1564	( said Dodsley) do you think a letter from Johnson could hurt Lord Chesterfield?
1564	( said Johnson, smiling,) what would you give to be forty years from Scotland?''
1564	( to Harris,)''Pray, Sir, have you read Potter''s Aeschylus?''
1564	( to Johnson,)''And what think you, Sir, of it?''
1564	( turning to me,)''I ask you first, Sir, what would you do if you were affronted?''
1564	--''But, Sir, you will allow that some players are better than others?''
1564	--''Have you, Sir?
1564	--''Is not HARMLESS PLEASURE very tame?''
1564	--''What with Mr. Wilkes?
1564	A book may be good for nothing; or there may be only one thing in it worth knowing; are we to read it all through?
1564	Am I to be HUNTED in this manner?''
1564	And as for the good worthy man; how do you know he is good and worthy?
1564	And as to meanness,( rising into warmth,) how is it mean in a player,--a showman,--a fellow who exhibits himself for a shilling, to flatter his Queen?
1564	And do n''t you think the magistrate would have a right to prevent you?
1564	And have you ever seen Chatsworth?
1564	And is it thus, Sir, that you presume to controvert what I have related?''
1564	And was Sheridan to assume to himself the right of giving that stamp?
1564	And what do you think of his definition of Excise?
1564	And what merit is there in that?
1564	And who would feed with the poor that can help it?
1564	As we were moving slowly along in the crowd from church, Johnson jogged my elbow, and said,''Did you attend to the sermon?''
1564	Beauclerk, how came you to talk so petulantly to me, as"This is what you do n''t know, but what I know"?
1564	Because a man can not be right in all things, is he to be right in nothing?
1564	Because a man sometimes gets drunk, is he therefore to steal?
1564	Besides, Sir, what damages would a jury give me for having been represented as swearing?''
1564	Both Mr.***** and I have reason to take it ill. You may talk so of Mr.*****; but why do you make me do it?
1564	But WHERE, I might with great propriety have added, can I find such?
1564	But does not imagination make it much more important than it is in reality?
1564	But how can you shew civilities to a nonentity?
1564	But the question was, who should have the courage to propose them to him?
1564	But was not Lord Coke a mere lawyer?''
1564	But what a man is he, who is to be driven from the stage by a line?
1564	But when will you get the value of two hundred pounds of walls, in fruit, in your climate?
1564	But who is without it?''
1564	But, Sir, how can you do this in three years?
1564	Did he cheat at draughts?''
1564	Did he mean tardiness of locomotion?
1564	Did his gaiety extend farther than his own nation?''
1564	Did you never observe that dogs have not the power of comparing?
1564	Did you see?''
1564	Dilly''s?''
1564	Do I know history?
1564	Do I know law?''
1564	Do I know mathematicks?
1564	Do n''t you consider, Sir, that these are not the manners of a gentleman?
1564	Do n''t you know that it is very uncivil to PIT two people against one another?''
1564	Do we not judge of the drunken wit, of the dialogue between Iago and Cassio, the most excellent in its kind, when we are quite sober?
1564	Do you know the history of his aversion to the word transpire?''
1564	Do you really think HIM a bad man?''
1564	Do you remember our drinking together at an alehouse near Pembroke gate?
1564	Do you respect a rope- dancer, or a ballad- singer?''
1564	Do you think I am so ignorant of the world as to imagine that I am to prescribe to a gentleman what company he is to have at his table?''
1564	Does not Lord Chesterfield give precepts for uniting wickedness and the graces?
1564	For why should not Dr. Johnson add to his other powers a little corporeal agility?
1564	Garrick overhearing him, exclaimed,''eh?
1564	Has he a right to do so?
1564	Have I said anything against Mr.*****?
1564	Have you no better manners?
1564	He asked me, I suppose, by way of trying my disposition,''Is not this very fine?''
1564	He is quite unsocial; his conversation is quite monosyllabical: and when, at my last visit, I asked him what a clock it was?
1564	He made two or three peculiar observations; as when shewn the botanical garden,''Is not EVERY garden a botanical garden?''
1564	He may tell you, he holds his finger in the flame of a candle, without feeling pain; would you believe him?
1564	He might answer,"Where is all the wonder?
1564	He then addressed himself to Davies:''What do you think of Garrick?
1564	He then began to descant upon the force of testimony, and the little we could know of final causes; so that the objections of, why was it so?
1564	He then called to the boy,''What would you give, my lad, to know about the Argonauts?''
1564	He then repeated some ludicrous lines, which have escaped my memory, and said,''Is not that GREAT, like his Odes?''
1564	He was of a club in Old- street, with me and George Psalmanazar, and some others: but pray, Sir, was he a good taylor?''
1564	His Lordship however asked,''Will he write the Lives of the Poets impartially?
1564	How are you to get all the etymologies?
1564	How can a man write poetically of serges and druggets?
1564	How did they fight the fight that I am to fight, and how in any case did they lose or win?
1564	How did they play the game?
1564	How many friendships have you known formed upon principles of virtue?
1564	How shall we determine the proportion of intrinsick merit?
1564	How, then, have others managed, both those who failed and those who succeeded, or those, in far greatest number, who did both?
1564	I am very ill even when you are near me; what should I be were you at a distance?''
1564	I could now tell why I should not write; for who would write to men who publish the letters of their friends, without their leave?
1564	I here brought myself into a scrape, for I heedlessly said,''Would not YOU, Sir, be the better for velvet and embroidery?''
1564	I proceeded:''What do you think, Sir, of Purgatory, as believed by the Roman Catholicks?''
1564	I took down Thomson, and read aloud a large portion of him, and then asked,--Is not this fine?
1564	I was once present when a gentleman asked so many as,''What did you do, Sir?''
1564	I was persuaded that if I had come upon him with a direct proposal,''Sir, will you dine in company with Jack Wilkes?''
1564	I will appeal to the world; and how will your judgement appear?"
1564	I will not be baited with WHAT, and WHY; what is this?
1564	I, however, would not have it thought, that Dr. Taylor, though he could not write like Johnson,( as, indeed, who could?)
1564	If a bull could speak, he might as well exclaim,--Here am I with this cow and this grass; what being can enjoy greater felicity?''
1564	If one man in Scotland gets possession of two thousand pounds, what remains for all the rest of the nation?''
1564	In such a state as ours, who would not wish to please the Chief Magistrate?''
1564	In your Preface you say,"What would it avail me in this gloom of solitude?"
1564	Is it not, as it were, committing voluntary suicide?''
1564	Is it not, to a certain degree, a delusion in us as well as in women?''
1564	Is not he rather an OBTUSE man, eh?''
1564	Is not that trim?
1564	Is not this enough for you?
1564	Is not this the state of life?
1564	Johnson was at first startled, and in some heat answered,''How can your Lordship ask so simple a question?''
1564	Johnson, in a tone of displeasure, asked him,''Why do you praise Anson?''
1564	Johnson, offended at being thus pressed, and so obliged to own his cursory mode of reading, answered tartly,''No, Sir, do YOU read books THROUGH?''
1564	Johnson, upon this, seemed much agitated; and, in an angry tone, exclaimed,''Why will you vex me by suggesting this, when it is too late?''
1564	Johnson?''
1564	Madam; who is the worse for being talked of uncharitably?
1564	May I enquire after her?
1564	Miss Adams mentioned a gentleman of licentious character, and said,''Suppose I had a mind to marry that gentleman, would my parents consent?''
1564	Miss---- was an instance of early cultivation, but in what did it terminate?
1564	Mr. Burney asked him then if he had seen Warburton''s book against Bolingbroke''s Philosophy?
1564	My dear Sir, you surely will not rank his compilation of the Roman History with the works of other historians of this age?''
1564	No matter where; wise fear, you know, Forbids the robbing of a foe; But what, to serve our private ends, Forbids the cheating of our friends?''
1564	Now what harm does it do to any man to be contradicted?''
1564	Now, what is the concoction of a play?''
1564	Oldfield?"
1564	Or what more than to hold your tongue about it?
1564	Perfect obligations, which are generally not to do something, are clear and positive; as,"thou shalt not kill?''
1564	Peyton,--Mr. Peyton, will you be so good as to take a walk to Temple- Bar?
1564	Place me in the heart of Asia, should I not be exiled?
1564	Pray now( throwing himself back in his chair, and laughing,) are you ever able to bring the SLOE to perfection?''
1564	Pray what do you mean by the question?''
1564	Pray what have you heard?''
1564	Pray, Sir, had you ever thought of it?''
1564	Priestley?"
1564	Robertson?''
1564	Shall the Presbyterian KIRK of Scotland have its General Assembly, and the Church of England be denied its Convocation?''
1564	She and I are good friends now; are we not?''
1564	Sir William Forbes said,''Might not a man warmed with wine be like a bottle of beer, which is made brisker by being set before the fire?''
1564	Sir, you may analyse this, and say what is there in it?
1564	Sir,( said I,) In caelum jusseris ibit?''
1564	Smile with the simple;--What folly is that?
1564	Suppose they have more knowledge at five or six years old than other children, what use can be made of it?
1564	Suppose you and I and two hundred more were restrained from printing our thoughts: what then?
1564	Suppose you teach your children to be thieves?''
1564	TO DR. BROCKLESBY, he writes, Ashbourne, Sept. 9:--''Do you know the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire?
1564	The attempt, indeed, was dangerous; for if it had missed, what became of Garrick, and what became of the Queen?
1564	These Voyages,( pointing to the three large volumes of Voyages to the South Sea, which were just come out) WHO will read them through?
1564	They would all have some people under them; why not then have some people above them?''
1564	Though firmly convinced of the truth of his doctrine, may he not think it wrong to expose himself to persecution?
1564	Towards the conclusion of his Taxation no Tyranny, he says,''how is it that we hear the loudest YELPS for liberty among the drivers of negroes?''
1564	Upon which his Lordship very gravely, and with a courteous air said,''Pray, Sir, is it true that you are taking lessons of Vestris?''
1564	WHO can repeat Hamlet''s soliloquy,"To be, or not to be,"as Garrick does it?''
1564	WHO is ruined by gaming?
1564	Was Charles the Twelfth, think you, less respected for his coarse blue coat and black stock?
1564	We have physicians now with bag- wigs; may we not have airy divines, at least somewhat less solemn in their appearance than they used to be?''
1564	What Frenchman is prevented from passing his life as he pleases?''
1564	What can you tell of countries so well known as those upon the continent of Europe, which you have visited?''
1564	What care I for his PATRIOTICK FRIENDS?
1564	What do you take me for?
1564	What has the Duke of Bedford?
1564	What has the Duke of Devonshire?
1564	What have they to do at an University who are not willing to be taught, but will presume to teach?
1564	What have you to do with Liberty and Necessity?
1564	What is CLIMATE to happiness?
1564	What is a friend?
1564	What proportion does climate bear to the complex system of human life?
1564	What proportion would that restraint upon us bear to the private happiness of the nation?''
1564	What says Johnson?"
1564	When Johnson had done reading, the authour asked him bluntly,''If upon the whole it was a good translation?''
1564	When asked,''What is it, Sir?''
1564	When we had left Mr. Scott''s, he said''Will you go home with me?''
1564	Where is religion to be learnt but at an University?
1564	While he was talking loudly in praise of those lines, one of the company* ventured to say,''Too fine for such a poem:--a poem on what?''
1564	Who will read a five- shilling book against me?
1564	Why all this childish jealousy of the power of the crown?
1564	Why do you speak here?
1564	Why do you take the trouble to give us so many fine allusions, and bright images, and elegant phrases?
1564	Why had he not some considerable office?
1564	Why is all this to be swept away?''
1564	Why should he complain?
