Robert Greene: Citáty anglicky

“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content, The quiet mind is richer than a crown…”

Zdroj: Greene's Farewell to Folly (1591)
Kontext: Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content;
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent;
The poor estate scorns fortune’s angry frown;
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss;
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss”

“There is an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger's heart wrapped in a player's hide supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you: and being an absolute Johannes Factotum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country.”

Groatsworth of Wit; cited from William Shakespeare (ed. Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller) The Complete Works (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 2002) p. xlvii.
Probably the earliest reference to Shakespeare as a figure in the theatrical world.

“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content;
The quiet mind is richer than a crown.”

Song, "Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content", line 1, from Farewell to Folly (1591); Dyce p. 309.

“Ah Franion, treason is loved of many, but the Traitor hated of all: unjust offences may for a time escape without danger, but never without revenge.”

Robert Greene (dramatist) kniha Pandosto

Pandosto (1588); p. 9 http://books.google.com/books?id=5FIPAAAAQAAJ&q="Treason+is+loved+of+many+but+the+traitor+hated+of+all"&pg=PA9#v=onepage.
Compare: "Cæsar said he loved the treason, but hated the traitor", Plutarch, Life of Romulus.
Compare: "This principle is old, but true as fate,—
Kings may love treason, but the traitor hate." Thomas Dekker, The Honest Whore (1604).

“Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee;
When thou art old there’s grief enough for thee.”

"Sephestia's Song to her Child", line 1, from Menaphon (1589); Dyce p. 286.

“A mind content both crown and kingdom is.”

Song, "Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content", line 12, from Farewell to Folly (1591); Dyce p. 309.

“Deceiving world, that with alluring toys
Hast made my life the subject of thy scorn,
And scornest now to lend thy fading joys,
T'outlength my life, whom friends have left forlorn;
How well are they that die ere they be born,
And never see thy sleights, which few men shun
Till unawares they helpless are undone!”

"Verses", line 1, from Groatsworth of Wit (1592); Dyce p. 310.
Groatsworth of Wit was published posthumously under Greene's name, but it was heavily revised by Henry Chettle, and may have been partially or even totally written by him.
