I see there’s truth in no man, nor obedience But for his own ends.
Francis Beaumont Quotes
What things have we seen, Done at the Mermaid! heard words that have been So nimble, and so full of sub til flame, As if that every one from whence they came, Had meant to put his whole wit in a jest, And had resolv’d to live a fool, the rest Of his dull life.

About
Francis Beaumont was born in Grace-Dieu, Leicestershire, England. He was a playwright in the English Renaissance theatre, most famous for his collaborations with John Fletcher. One of the plays that he wrote on his own is the famous The Knight of the Burning Pestle, a parody of the sentimental and melodramatic plays that were popular at the time. Beaumont and Fletcher’s plays are lively and direct and almost modern in their language and ideas. Their most famous is Philaster, or Love Lies Bleeding. He wrote several plays with John Fletcher include: The Woman Hater, Thierry and Theodoret, Cupid's Revenge, The Coxcomb, A King and No King, Love's Cure, The Scornful Lady and The Noble Gentleman.
