Pye.—Alfred, Book II. Line 558.

As the sun breaks through the darkest clouds,
So honour peereth in the meanest habit.

Shakespeare.—Taming of the Shrew, Act IV. Scene 3. (Petruchio to Catherine.)

Robes and furr’d gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks;
Arm it in rags, a pigmy’s straw doth pierce it.

Shakespeare.—King Lear, Act IV. Scene 6. (Lear to Gloster.)

Here’s a red stream beneath this coarse blue doublet,
That warms the heart as kindly as if drawn
From the far source of old Assyrian kings.

Opinion’s but a fool, that makes us scan
The outward habit by the inward man.

Shakespeare.—Pericles, Act II. Scene 2. (Simonides to the Lords.)
