More from Richard Brinsley Sheridan

  2. Through all the drama-whether damned or not- Love gilds the scene, and women guide the plot.
  3. The quarrel is a very pretty quarrel as it stands; we should only spoil it by trying to explain it.
  4. I ne'er could any luster see In eyes that would not look on me.
  5. You are not like Cerberus, three gentlemen at once, are you?
  6. I loved him for himself alone.
  7. No caparisons, miss, if you please. Caparisons don't become a young woman.
  8. A bumper of good liquor Will end a contest quicker Than justice, judge, or vicar.
