SELECTED AND ARRANGED IN ALPHABETIC ORDER Froi Die Writings of tie Eminent Dramatic Poet. NEW YORK: HTJEST & CO., Publishers, 122 NASSAU ST. tyxti&tt The isatchless genius of Shakespeare has furnished occupation for authors, from the very age in which he wrote, down to the pre- sent day ; so that, independent of the innumerable editions of his plays, from the original authentic copies, to the modern mutila- tions represented under his name upon the stage, we have more than two hundred works of which Shakespeare and his writings are the subject. Such being the case, it may be thought necessary, for one who ventures to add to the number, to offer some apology to the public for so doing. That tendered for the present compilation is founded on the belief, that among all these works, there does not exist one which effectively occupies the ground here taken, and very few which even attempt to connect Shakespeare's felicitous expressions —exhibiting, as they do, a matchless insight into human nature — with the various casualties, motives, and objects of ordinary life. Such a task, if performed with judgment and faithfulness, could hardly fail to prove both pleasing and useful. In supj ort of the opinion that this task yet remained to be accomplished, it will be necessary to submit a few observations concerning the works which profess to have the same object, upon the comparative merits of which with the Shakespearian Dictionary, its pretensions to public favour must be founded. Ayscough's " Index to Shakespeare," is a work of great labour, and, as a verbal compilation, is doubtless of utility ; but it is a dictionary of the poet's words, rather than of his expressions, giving only so much of the context as was necessary to elucidate the peculiar sense wherein each word is to be understood, and con necting this with remarkable speeches only by means of refer- ences. From almost any arrangement of the words of such an author, occasional scintillations will necessarily flash out ; but in T 4 2 fnian. this case, the pleasing effect, which thus occurs, is destroyed when we arrive at the next word in the catalogue. We may learn to number the occasions wherein each word recurs throughout the author's writings, but what have the imagination or the feelings to do with such a calculation? We may, indeed, retain the con- sciousness we bring with us of treading on hallowed ground, but feel not the inspiring influence of the divinity. Certain smaller compilations, put forth under the captivating title of "Beauties of Shakespeare," contain only the more remark- able speeches, and, for the most part, are confined to such as are clothed in verse ; omitting altogether the thousands of expres- sions strewed profusely throughout the prose speeches and col- loquies, wherein are to be found all those most surprising flashes of description, alternating from the grotesque to the sublime, which peculiarly distinguish the Bard of Avon from all other writers, either ancient or modern. In this class of compilations must be included a work, pub- lished about ten years since, "by the author of the Peerage and Baronetage Chart," and called "A Dictionary of Quotations from Shakespeare ;" bat the same objection that attends the " Beauties," must be made against the " Dictionary." The quotations are given exclusively from the measured poetry of the author, while the prose speeches and colloquies are wholly neglected. Fearful of being suspected of speaking unfairly, concerning a work which comes, perhaps, the nearest in collision with the present, a specimen is here introduced, whence the reader may form some opinion of the editorial discrimination which has been exhibited. Under the head of Drunkenness, the description of Danish regal ceremonies is intro- duced from Hamlet : — " Give me the cups ; And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, The trumpet to the cannoneer without, The cannons to the heavens, the heavens to earth, Now the king drinks to Hamlet." Under the same head we find inserted the pledge of returning amity between Brutus and Cassius, taken from the play of Joliui Caesar : — " Give me a bowl of wine ; In this I bury all unkindness, Cassias." fntan. As another illustration of the same subject, we have the expressioi of Richard, endeavouring to rally his downcast spirits against thl pressure of a guilty conscience : — " Give me a bowl of wine ; I have not that alacrity of spirit Nor cheer of mind that I was wont to have." Now it is difficult to conceive how these different quotations re- late to drunkenness, save only as they refer to the act of drinking ; without which, that wretched state or propensity which we express by the word drunkenness, cannot indeed have existence. " The Aphorisms of Shakespeare," edited by Mr. Capel Lofft, and printed and published at Bury St. Edmunds about twenty years ago, formed a collection worthy of that highly gifted gentleman. Mr. Lofft extracted sentences from Shakespeare, beginning with the play of Hamlet. To each extract he prefixed a synonym, or concisely descriptive sentence. Where he conceived the author to be obscure, from having used terms that have become obsolete, or encumbered by expletives, he took the liberty of altering the text, and of reducing any extract according to his own pleasure, into an aphoristic compass. The result proved, as might have been ex- pected from so competent an editor, and such rich materials, one of the most choice collections of aphoristic wisdom that ever issued from the press. The defects of Mr. Lofft's book were, that he ar- ranged each play separately, without any classification of subjects, or alphabetical order: hence its inconvenience as a work of refer- ence. Suppose it were required to be known what Shakespeare had said on the subject of Grief, Man, Pride, or any other matter, a person would probably require to look for these in as many different places, as Shakespeare wrote plays. As a Dictionary of Shake- spearian Quotations, it could not, for obvious reasons, be of any use. In the compilation now submitted to the public, each extract will be found classed under its appropriate head ; and where the import could be expressed in a single word, it is so expressed ; but where such brevity was found impracticable, the drift or spirit of the ex- tract is expressed in the fewest words possible. In certain cases it nas been found impracticable to express the import of an extract literally, either by a single word, or by a short sentence. In such cases the compiler has endeavoured to catch the spirit, and to prefij such a term as would best convey it to the reader's comprehension. Jf rtftrr. If he has not in all such cases been successful, the candid will not hastily condemn, but refer for a better term to the context. What- ever the compiler's demerits may be, the charge of altering the language of Shakespeare cannot be sustained, for the text is in no instance meddled with, except with the view to reconcile slight va- riations which occur in the most authentic editions. The whole collection has been finally revised, and collated with the edition of Heminge and Condell, folio, Lond. 1632. As a table-book, it is presumed this work will be found no less pleasing, than as a book of reference it will be useful. Expres- : sions, long and short, grave and gay, when read consecutively, will ever produce a pleasing effect ; and the devoted admirer of Shake- speare will not, it is hoped, be displeased at occasionally meeting beauties which had long been familiar to him, suddenly presenting themselves from behind coverts where he had not expected to see them. The Dictionary of Shakespearian Quotations, being the re- sult of some thought, as well as labour, is respectfully offered as a book of utility to foreigners, young persons, and others, engaged in enquiries into the structure of our language ; the synonym and the extract being mutually illustrative, according to Locke's idea ol ■ definition. BRIEF CRITICISMS ON THE Wuh af &§&]mpm. Thbke have been men of learning and talent in the world, whoss merits, real or supposed, have ensured to their names and memories honours more glorious and more lasting than the highest titles which any merely hereditary or heraldic claims could boast. We have " the learned John Selden ;" " the Judicious Hooker ;" " the ever-memorable John Hales ;" " the admirable Crichton ;" " the leviathan in literature, Dr. Samuel Johnson," and many others ; but not one of all this phalanx of merit has more justly deserved his honorary distinction, than "the Immortal Shakespeare." Had this man lived in the ancient days of Greece or Rome, he had now occupied no contempt- ible place in the mythological records of those times. But Shake- speare was born to higher honours than any to be derived from a Pagan apotheosis. He lives in the heart of every man of correct tasta — he dwells on the lip of eloquence — he gives life, and soul, and energy to every feeling expression — he lends his powerful aid to the moralist, and is not despised even by the true religionist —nay, his very enemies, the saints of modern date, " praise him in the gate " — and often, unwittingly, it is granted, do homage to his memory by borrowing his language to aid their own crude concep- tions ; nor have instances been wanting, within the observation of the writer, of persons, even in the pulpit, quoting the "bard of Avon," at a time when they themselves imagined they were bor- rowing from some of our best divines. Alas ! how difficult a task it is to write of Shakespeare and his Works in terms adequate to their claims on our wonder, admiration, Ix and esteem ! Yet nearly one hundred different works have already been successively published on the writings and genius of this truly immortal bard. Of the life of our author nothing new can be said : his biography has been exhausted, yet would it be a gross injustice to him to print his works without prefixing whatever has been authentically handed down to us. But his mind lives for ever ; and will for ever furnish some new topic of admiration, or some fresh subject of literary criticism. A contemporary writer on Ecclesiastical History, speaking of that best of books, the Bible, thus expresses himself: " One little book, which I can carry in my bosom, and refer to in every exigence of moment to my soul's peace, is worth all the mighty tomes of the Vatican ; superior, in my estimation, to all that ever bishops wrote, or canonists have quarrelled about." There is nothing profane in the observation, that what the Sacred Volume is to the devout Christian, the works of Shakespeare are to the man of taste ; for there is scarcely a subject of the slightest interest, that has not re- ceived some illustration from the wx-itings of this author, in whose mind appear to have been embodied all the forms and fashions, all the great, and all the minute shades of human character. Shake- speare was great upon all subjects, which is more than can, with truth, be asserted of any other writer, in any age or any country. His writings may be referred to on almost all occasions ; and the man whose mind is stored with the language of our bard, need never be at a loss for topics of conversation, or subjectsof important reflection. Shakespeare was not only what Ben Jonson denominates him, the soul of the age, The applause, delight, and wonder of the stage j" but is to this hour the constant companion of the contemplative, well as the gay associate of the playful and the happy. " Thus while I wond'ring pause o'er Shakespeare's page, I mark in visions of delight the sage ; High o'er the wrecks of man, who stands sublime, A column in the melancholy waste, (Its glory humbled and its glories past,) Majestic 'mid the solitude of time." (CntiriBniH nn tyi fflufa of I jiafospjra. On this head it would be unpardonable to omit noticing what Schlegel has said of our poet, in his German " Lectures on tha Jrama," which, translated into English, is as follows : — Never, perhaps, was there so comprehensive a talent for characterization as Shakespeare's. It not only grasps the diversities of rank, sex, and age, down to the dawnings of infancy; not only do the king and the beggar, the hero and the pickpocket, the wise and the idiot, speak and act with equal truth — not only does he transport himself to distant ages and to foreign nations, and pourtray in the most accurate manner, with only a few apparent violations of costume, the spirit of the ancient Romans — of the French in their wars with the English — of the English themselves during a great part of their history — of the Southern Europeans (in the serious parts of many of his comedies,) the cultivated society of that time, and the formei rude and barbarous state of the north ; his human characters have not only such depth and precision that they cannot be arranged under classes, and are inexhaustible, even in conception ; no, this Prometheus not merely forms men, but opens the gates of the magi- cal world of spirits; calls up the midnight ghost ; exhibits before ua his witches amidst their unhallowed mysteries ; peoples the air with sportive fairies and sylphs ; and these beings, existing only in ima gination, possess such truth and consistency, that even when they are deformed monsters, like Caliban, he extorts the assenting convic- tion that, if there should be such beings, they would so conduct themselves. In a word, as he carries with him the most fruitful and daring fancy into the kingdom of nature, on the other hand he carries nature into the regions of fancy, lying beyond the confines of reality. We are lost in astonishment at seeing the extraordinary, the wonderful, and the unheard, in such intimate nearness. Again: if Shakespeare deserves our admiration for his charac- ters, he is equally deserving of it for the exhibition of passion — taking this word in its widest signification, as including every men- tal condition, every tone of indifference, or familiar mirth, to the wildest rage and despair. He gives us the history of minds ; he lays open to us, in a single word, a whole series of preceding con- ditions. His passions do not at first stand displayed to us in alJ their height, as is the case with so many tragic poets, who, in the language of Lessing, are thorough masters of the legal style of love. He paints, in a most inimitable manner, the gradual progress from the first origin. " He gives," as Lessing says, " a living picture of zt (Crituiama uii tjj* IBnrks nf lljitkoprtn. all the most minute and secret artifices by which a feeling steal* into our souls ; of all the imperceptible advantages which it there gains ; of all the stratagems by which every other passion is made subservient to it, till it becomes the sole tyrant of ouv desires and aversions. Of all poets, perhaps, he alone has pourtrayed the men- tal diseases — melancholy, delirium, lunacy, — with such inexpress- ible, and in every respect, definite truth, that the physician may enrich his observations from them in the same manner as from real cases. And yet Johnson has objected to Shakespeare, that his pathos is not always natural and free from affectation. There are, it is true, passages, though, comparatively speaking, very few, where his poetry exceeds the bounds of true dialogue ; where a too soaring imagina- tion, a too luxuriant wit, rendered the complete dramatic forgetful- ness of himself impossible. Hence an idea has been formed of sim- ple and natural pathos, which consists in exclamations destitute of imagery, and nowise elevated above every-day life. But energe- tical passions electrify the whole of the mental powers, and conse- quently they will, in highly-favoured natures, express themselves in an ingenious and figurative manner. Besides, to use the obser- vation of Mrs. Montagu — " Heaven-born genius acts from something superior to rules, and antecedent to rules, and has a right of appeal to Nature herself." In accordance with this sentiment, it is re- marked by the German critic, that the rights of the poetical form have not been duly weighed. Shakespeare, who was always sure of his object, to move in a sufficiently powerful manner when he wished to do so, has occasionally, by indulging in a freer play, pur- posely moderated the impressions when too painful, and immediately introduced a musical alleviation of our sympathy. He had not those rude ideas of his wit which many moderns seem to have, as if the poet, like the clown in the proverb, must strike twice in the same place. THE LIFE or William &^kn$nxt WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, the most illustrious name in the history of English dramatic poetry, was born at Stratford-upon- Avon, on the 23d of April, 1564. HiB father, who sprang from a good family, was a considerable dealer in wool, and had been an officer and bailiff of Stratford, where he for some time acted as justice of the peace. His mother was of the ancient family of Arden, in the same county, one of undoubted gentility. William, who was the eldest of ten children, received the common education of a country free-school, where, it is probable,, he acquired what little Latin he was master of. At an early age, he was taken by his father to assist in his own business, and thus deprived of attaining any proficiency in classical literature ; but whether a better ac- quaintance with ancient authors might not lia\e restrained some of that fire, impetuosity, and even beautiful extravagance, which we admire in Shakespeare, may well admit of a dispute. Be this as it may, he seems to have adopted the mode of life which his father proposed to him ; and we find that in his eighteenth year he married Ann Hathaway, the daughter of a substantial yeoman in the neighbourhood, who was eight years older than himself. Of his domestic establishment, or professional occupation, at this time nothing determinate is recorded ; but it appears that he was wild and irregular, from the fact of his connexion with a party who made a practice of stealing the deer of Sir Thomas Lucy, of Char- lecote, near Stratford. This imprudence brought upon him a V 1 Tih nf William Ijjitbspirn. prosecution, which he rendered more severe by a lampoon upon that gentleman, in the form ef a ballad which he had affixed to bis park gates. He also indulges in a vein of splenetic drollery upon the same magistrate, in the character of Justice Shallow, in the opening scene of " The Merry Wives of Windsor ;" which continued hostility, as he was indisputably a kind-hearted man, we may presume was occasioned by an excess of rigour and pertinacity on the part of Sir Thomas. The consequence of this youthful imprudence drove him to London for shelter; and it is some proof that he had already imbibed a taste for the drama, that his first application was to the players, among whom, in one Thomas Green, a popular comedian of the day, he met a townsman and acquaintance. This removal has been thought to have taken place in 1586, when he was in his twenty-second year. If tradition may be depended upon, he was necessitated, in the first instance to become the prompter's call-boy or attendant, while another less probable story describes him as holding the horses of those who attended the play without servants, a prevalent custom at that period. As an actor, the top of his performance is said to have been the Ghost in his own Hamlet. " I should have been much more pleased," says Mr. Howe in his remarks on the genius and writings of Shakespeare, " to have learned, from certain authority, which was the first play he wrote ; it would be without doubt a pleasure to any man, curious in things of this kind, to see and know what was the first essay of a fancy like Shakespeare's. Perhaps we are not to look for his beginnings, like those of other authors, among their least perfect writings ; art had so little, and nature so large a share in what he did, that, for aught I know, the performances of his youth, as they were the most vigorous, and had the most fire and strength of imagination in them, were the best. I would not be thought by this to mean, that his fancy was so loose and extra- vagant, as to be independent of the rule and government of judg- ment ; but that what he thought was commonly so great, so justly and rightly conceived in itself, that it wanted little or no correction, and was immediately approved by an impartial judgment at the first sight. But, though the order of time in which the several pieces were written, be generally uncertain, yet there are passages in some few of them which seem to fix their dates. So the Chorut at the end of the fourth act of Henry the Fifth, by a compliment s XiU of Milium iJjahBpean. rery handsomely turned to the Earl of Essex, shows the play to have been written when that lord was general for the queen id Ireland ; and his eulogy upon Queen Elizabeth, and her successor King James, in the latter end of his Henry the Eighth, is a proof oi that play's being written after the accession of the latter of these two princes to the crown of England. Whatever the particular times of his writings were, the people of his age, who began to grow wonderfully fond of diversions of this kind, could not but be highly pleased to see a genius arise amongst them of so pleasurable, so rich a vein, and so plentifully capable of furnishing their favourite entertainments. Besides the advantages of his_wit, he was in himself a good natured man, of great sweetness in his manners, and a most agreeable companion ; so that it is no wonder, if, with so many good qualities, he made himself acquainted with the best conversations of those times. Queen Elizabeth had several of his plays acted before her; and, without a doubt, gave him many gracious marks of her favour: it is that maiden princess plainly whom he intends by " — — — a fair vestal, throned by the west." A Midsummer Nighfs Dream, And that whole passage is a compliment very properly brought in, and very handsomely applied to her. She was so well pleased with the admirable character of Falstaff, in the Two Parts of Henry the Fourth, that she commanded him to continue it for one play more, and to show him in love. This is said to be the occasion of his writing The Merry Wives of Windsor. How well she was obeyed, the play itself is an admirable proof. Upon this occasion, it may not be improper to observe, that this part of Falstaff is said to have been written originally under the name of Oldcastle : some of that family being then remaining, the- Queen was pleased to command him to alter it ; upon which he made use of Falstaff. The present offence was indeed avoided ; but I do not know whether the author may not have been somewhat to blame in his second choice, since it is certain that Sir John Falstaff, who was a knight of the garter, and a lieutenant-general, was a name of distinguished merit in th« wars in France in Henry the Fifth's and Henry the Sixth's times. What grace soever the Queen conferred upon him, it was not to hei anly he owed the fortune which the reputation of his wit mad* * %ih nf William Ijjnkej5|iritn. He had the honour to meet with many great and uncommon marks of favour and friendship from the Earl of Southampton, famous in the histories of that time for his friendship to the unfortunate Earl of Essex. It was to that noble lord that he dedicated his poem of Venus and Adonis. There is one instance so singular in the magnificence of this patron of Shakespeare's, that if I had not been assured that the story was handed down by Sir William D'Avenant, who was probably very well acquainted with his affairs, I should not have ventured to have asserted it ; that my lord Southampton at one time gave him a thousand pounds, to enable him to go through with a purchase which he heard he had a mind to. A bounty very great, and very rare at any time, and almost equal to that profuse generosity the present age has shown to French dancers and Italian singers. "What particular habitude or friendships he contracted with private men, I have not been able to learn, more than that every one, who had a true taste of merit, and could distinguish men, had generally a just value and esteem for him. His exceeding candour and good nature must certainly have inclined all the gentler part of the world to love him, as the power of his wit obliged the men of the most delicate knowledge and polite learning to admire him. " His acquaintance with Ben Jonson began with a remarkable piece of humanity and good nature : Mr. Jonson, who was at that time altogether unknown to the world, had offered one of his plays to the players, in order to have it acted; and the persons into whose hands it was put, after having turned it carelessly and superciliously over, were just about returning it to him with an ill- natured answer, that it would be of no use to their company ; when Shakespeare luckily cast his eye on it, and found something so well in it, as to engage him first to read it through, and afterwards to re- commend Mr. Jonson and his writings to the public. Jonson was cer- tainly a very good scholar, and in that had the advantage of Shake- speare ; though at the same time I believe it must be allowed, that what nature gave the latter, was more than a balance for what books had given the former ; and the judgment of a great man upon this occasion was, I think, very just and proper. In a conversation between Sir" John Suckling, Sir William d'Avenant, Endymion Porter, Mr. Hales, of Eton, and Ben Jonson ; Sir John Suckling, who was a professed admirer of Shakespeare, had undertaken his defence against Ben Jonson with some warmth ; Mr. Hales, who 4 IT if* nf William ljrakj«pn«. had sat still for some time, told them, That if Mr. Shakespeare had not read the ancients, he had likewise not stolen anything from them; and that, if he would produce any one topic finely treated by any one oj them, he would undertake to show something upon the same subject at least as well written by Shakespeare." The latter part of his life was spent, as all men of good sense will wish theirs may be, in ease, retirement, and the conversation of his friends. His pleasurable wit and good nature engaged him in the acquaintance, and entitled him to the friendship, of the gentlemen of the neighbourhood. Amongst them, it is a story, still remembered in that country, that he had a particular intimacy with Mr. Combe, an old gentleman noted thereabouts for his wealth and his usury : it happened, that in a pleasant conversation amongst their common friends, Mr. Combe told Shakespeare, in a laughing manner, that he fancied he intended to write his epitaph, if he happened to outlive him ; and since he could not know what might be said of him when he was dead, he desired it might be done immediately : upon which Shakespeare gave him these four verses •• " Ten in the hundred lies here ingraved, 'Tis a hundred to ten his soul is not saved ; If any man ask, Who lies in this tomb ? Oh ! ho ! quoth the devil, 'tis my John-a-Combe." For some years before his death, he resided at Stratford, In a house which he bought from the Clopton family, and which con- tinued in the possession of his descendants until the Restoration, when it was repurchased by a member of the same family, the representative of which, Sir Hugh Clopton, entertained Garrick, Macklin, and others, in 1742, under the mulberry tree, planted by Shakespeare. His executor sold the house to a clergyman of the name of Gastrel, who being rated for the poor higher than he conceived he had a right to pay, peevishly declared that the house should never pay again ; and in spite to the inhabitants of Strat- ford, who were benefitted by the company it brought to the town, he pulled it down, and sold the materials. He had previously cut down the mulberry tree for fuel, but an honest silversmith purchased the whole of it, which he profitably manufactured into memorials of the poet. Such was the fate of a residence in which Shakespeare exhibited so little solicitude for fame, or consciousness of his own merits, that a similar example of modesty is scarcely to be found. * 1* tih uf WiWnm iljafosptan. He died on his birth-day, April 23, 1616, having exactly com- pleted his fifty-second year. He was interred on the north side of the chancel of the great church of Stratford, where a monument is placed on the wall, in which he is represented under an arch in a sitting posture, a cushion spread before him, with a pen in his right hand, and his left resting on a scroll of paper. The following Latin distich is engraved under the cushion : — " Judicio Pylium, genio Socratem, arte Maronem, Terra tegit, populus moeret, Olympus habet" To this Latin inscription may be added the lines to be found underneath it : — "Stay, passenger, why dost thou go so fast? Bead, if thou canst, what envious death hath placed Within this monument ; Shakespeare, with whom Quick nature died ; whose name doth deck the tomb Far more than cost ; since all that he hath writ Leaves living art but page unto his wit." This monument was erected within seven years of his death ; but on his grave-stone beneath are written the following lines, which ■eem to have been engraven in an uncouth mixture of large and ■mall letters, at the time of his interment : — " Good Friend for Iesus SAKE forbeare To diGG T-E Dust EncloAsed HERe Blest be T-E Man t-t spares T-Es Stones And curst be He t-t moves my Bones " It is uncertain whether this request and imprecation were written by Shakespeare, or by one of his friends. They probably allude to the custom of removing skeletons after a certain time, and deposit- ing them in charnel houses ; and similar execrations are found in many Latin epitaphs. Shakespeare's remains, however, have been ever carefully protected from injury. His family consisted of two daughters, and a son named Hamnet, who died in his twelfth year. Susannah, the eldest daughter, and her father's favourite, was married June 5, 1607, to Dr. John Hall, a physician, who died November, 1635, aged 60. Mrs. Hall died July 11, 1649, aged 66. They left only one child, Elizabeth, bora tih nf IB i 1 1 x a «n gjmkBBpim. 1607-8, and married April 22, 1626, to Thomas Nashe, Esq., who died in 1647, and afterwards to Sir John Barnard, of Abington, in Northamptonshire ; but died without issue by either husband. Judith, Shakespeare's youngest daughter, was married, February 10, 1615-16, to a Mr. Thomas Quiney, and died, February, 1661-62, in her 77th year. By Mr. Quiney she had three sons, Shakespeare, Richard and Thomas, who all died unmarried, and here the descendants of our poet became extinct. In the year 1741, a monument was erected to the memory of the " immortal bard" in Westminster Abbey, by the direction of the Earl of Burlington, Dr. Mead, Mr. Pope, and Mr. Martyn. It was the work of Schoemaker, (who received £300 for it,) after a design of Kent, and was opened in January of that year, one hundred and twenty-five years after the death of him whom it commemorates, and whose genius appears to have been forgotten during almost the whole of that long period. The performers of each of the London theatres gave a benefit to defray the expenses, and the Dean and Chapter of Westminster took nothing for the ground. The money received by the performance at Drury-lane theatre amounted to above £200, but the receipts at Covent-garden did not exceed £100. From these imperfect notices, which are all we have been able to collect from the labours of his biographers and commentators, the reader will perceive that less is known of Shakespeare than of almost any writer who has been considered as an object of laudable curiosity. Nothing could be more highly gratifying than an ac- eount of the early studies of this wonderful man, the progress of his pen, his moral and social qualities, his friendships, his failings, and whatever else constitutes personal history. But on all these topics his contemporaries and his immediate successors have been equally silent, and if aught can be hereafter discovered, it must be by exploring sources which have hitherto escaped the anxious re- searches of those who have devoted their whole lives, and their most vigorous talents, to revive his memory, and illustrate bia writings. Dr. Johnson, in his elaborate and just review of Shakespeare, observes, " He has^enes of undoubted and perpetual excellence, but perhaps not one play, which, if it were now exhibited as the work of a contemporary writer, would be heard to the conclusion. I am indeed, (says he,) far from thinking that his works were Wrought to his own ideas of perfection ; when they were such at f would satisfy the audience, they satisfied the writer. It is sel- dom that authors, though more studious of fame than Shake- speare, rise much above the standard of their own age ; to add a little to what is best will always be sufficient for present praise, and those who find themselves exalted into fame, are willing to credit their encomiasts, and to spare the labour of contending with themselves." The dramatic reputation of Shakespeare, although great in hia own days, became partially obsolete during the period when French taste prevailed, and French models were studied, under the second Charles ; and rising again as it did on its own intrinsic pretension, until his productions established a national taste, the fact is still more honorable to his genius. That much of the admiration enter- tained for him is national and conventional, may be freely allowed ; but giving all due weight to the cold hints of this nature, which pervade criticism of a certain tone, a fair appeal may be made on the ground of positive qualification, and a knowledge of the human heart, which, in its diversity at least, has never been surpassed. To this faculty must be added, that of an imagination powerful, poetical, and so felicitously creative, that presuming the existence of the vivid offspring of his fancy, the adopted feelings and manners seem to belong to them alone. Voltaire observes that Shakespeare has been the favourite of the English nation for more than a century ; and that that which has engrossed national admiration for a hundred years, will by pre- scription insure it for ever. But though there may be some truth in th's remark, the obvious and undeniable fact is, that gr«"at natav strength of genius can alone establish the prepossess) if» DICTIONARY or ■jfttkMpMriim d^trntntinEB.

Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes : The canker galls the infants of the spring, Too oft before their buttons be disclos'd ; And in the morn and liquid dew of youth Contagious blastments are most imminent. Be wary then ; best safety lies in fear ; Youth to itself rebels, though none else near. H. i. 3. — to a Young Man. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel : But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each unhatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel: but, being in, Bear it that the opposer may beware of thee. Give ev'ry man thine ear, but few thy voice : Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy ; rich, not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man: — Neither a borrower nor a lender be : For loan oft loses both itself and friend ; And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all, — To thine own self be true ; And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell : — my blessing season this in thee ! B. i. t - to a Statesman. Mark but my fall, and that that ruin'd me. Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away ambition ; By that sin fell the angels ; how can man then, The image of his Maker, hope to win by't ? Love thyself last ; cherish those hearts that hate thee : Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not : Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy God's, and truth's ; then if thou fall'st, Cromwell, Thou fall'st a blessed martyr. H, VIH. iii.

But the cha iges I perceived in the king and Camillo, were very nott-j of admiration : they seemed almost, with staring on one o.aother, to tear the cases of their eyes ; there was speech in tj.eir dumbness, language in their very ges- ture ; they lookt 1, as they had heard of a world ransomed, or one destroyed A notable passion of wonder appeared iu them : but the wisest beholder, that knew no more but seeing, could not say if the importance were joy or sorrow : but in the extremity of one it must be.

In peace, there's nothing so becomes a man, As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tyger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-fa vour'd rage : Then lend the eye a terrible aspect : Let it pry through the portals of the head, Like the brass cannon ; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth the galled rock O'er-hang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostrils wide, Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spirit To his full height ! On, on, you noble English. H. V. ii. 1.

This battle fares like to the morning's war, When dying cbuds contend with growing light ; What time the shepherd blowing of his nails, Can neither call it perfect day, or night. Now sways it this way like a mighty sea, Forc'd by the tide to combat with the wind ; Now sways it that way, like the self-same sea, Forc'd to retire by fury of the wind : Sometimes the flood prevails ; and then the wind : Now, one the better ; then, another best ; Both tugging to be victors, breast to breast, Yet neither conqueror nor conquered : So is the" equal poize of the fell war. H. VI. ft. hi. ii. 6 My uncles both are slain in rescuing me ; And all my followers to the eager foe Turn back, and fly, like ships before the wind, Or lambs pursued by hunger-starved wolves. My sons, — God knows,— what hath bechanced them : But this I know, — they have demean' d themselves Like men borne to renown, by life, or death. Three times did Kichard make a lane to me ; And .thrice cried, — Courage, father ! Fight it out ! And full as oft came Edward to my side With purple faulchion, painted to the hilt In blood of those that had encountered him. And when the hardest warriors did retire, Richard cried, — Charge ! and give no foot of ground ! And cried, — A crown? or else a glorious tomb 1 A sceptre ! or an earthly sepulchre 1 With this, we charg'd again. H.

In single opposition, hand to hand, He did confound the best part of an hour In changing hardiment with great Glendower : Three times they breath'd, and three times did they drink, Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood ; Who then affrighted with their bloody looks, Ran fearfully among the trembling reeds, And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank, Blood-stained with these valiant combatants. H. IV. pt. x. 1. 3. Prepare you, generals : The anemy comes on in gallant show; Their bloody sign of battle is hung out, And something to be done immediately. I. C. v. 1. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers For he, to-day, that sheds his blood with me. Shall be my brother ; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition : And gentlemen in England now abed Shall think themselves accurs'd, they were not here ; And hold their manhoods cheap, while any speaks, That fought with us upon St. Crispin's day. H. V. iv, 3, For the love of all the gods, Let's leave the hermit pity with our mothers ; And when we have our armours buckled on, The venom'd vengeance ride upon our swords. T. O. v. 3, Let's whip these stragglers o'er the seas again ; Lash hence these over-weening rags of France, These famish'd beggars, weary of their lives ; Who, but for dreaming on this fond exploit, For want of means, poor rats, had hang'd themselves.

Fire answers fire ; and through their paly flames, Each battle sees the other's umbered face : Steed threatens steed in high and boastful neighs, Piercing the night's dull ear ; and from the tents, The armourers accomplishing the knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Give dreadful note of preparation. The country cocks do crow ; the clocks do toll, And the third hour of drowsy morning name. Proud of their numbers, and secure in soul, The confident and over-lusty French Do the low-rated English play at dice ; And chide the cripple tardy-gaited night, Who, like a foul and ugly witch, doth limp So tediously away. The poor condemned English, Like sacrifices by their watchful fires Sit patiently, and inly ruminate The morning's danger ; and their gestures s"ad, Investing lank-lean cheeks, and war-worn coats, Presenteth them unto the gazing moon So many horrid ghosts.

This gallant pins the wenches on his sleeve ; Had he been Adam he had tempted Eve : He can carve too, and lisp : Why this is he, That kiss'd away his hand in courtesy ; This is the ape of form, monsieur the nice, That when he plays at tables, chides the dice In honourable terms. L. L. v. 2. BEAUX, Scented. Like many of these lisping hawthorn buds, that come like women in men's apparel, and smell like Buoklersbury in simple-time. M. W. iii. 3, BEAUTY. Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good, A shining gloss that vadeth suddainly, A flower that dies v when first it 'gins to bud, A brittle glass that's broken presently.

'Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on : Lady, you are the cruellest she alive, If you will lead these graces to the grave, And leave the world no copy.

W.T. v. 1 I saw her once Hop forty paces through the public street And having lost her breath, she spoke, and panted, That she did make defect perfection, And, breathless, power breathe forth. A.C. ii. 2 All hearts in love use their own tongues ; Let every eye negociate for itself, And trust no agent ; for beauty is a witch, Against whose charms faith melteth into blood. M. A. ii. 1. She speaks : — speak again, bright angel ! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'ei; my head, As is a winged messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturned wond'ring eyes Of mortals, that fall back to gaze on him, When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds, And sails upon the bosom of the air.

They have a king, and officers of sorts ; "Where some, like magistrates, correct at home ; Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad ; Others, like soldiers, armed in their stings, Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds ; Which pillage they with merry march bring home, To the tent-royal of their emperor ; Who, busied in his majesty, surveys The singing masons building roofs of gold ; The civil citizens kneading up the honey ; The poor mechanic porters crowding in Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate ; The sad-ey'd justice, with his surly hum, Delivering o'er to executors pale The lazy yawning drone.

Highly fed, and lowly taught. A. W. ii. I BREVITY. Therefore, — since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. H. ii. 2 BRIBERY. Shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes ? And sell the mighty space of our large honours, For so much trash as may be grasped thus ? 40 bri ijuttafuitrirtti iiriifltianf. but BRIBERY,— continued.

BRITAIN (See also England). Britain is A world by itself; and we will nothing pay For wearing our own noses. Cym. iii. 1. Which stands As Neptune's park, ribbed and paled in With rocks unscaleable, and roaring waters. Cym. iii. 1.

BRUTUS. This was the noblest Roman of them all ; All the conspirators, save only he, Did that they did in envy of great Caesar ; He, only, in a general honest thought, And common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle ; and the elements So mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world : This was a man 1 J. C. v. 5 BUBBLES.

Sometimes he angers me, With telling me of the mold-warp, and the ant, Of the dreamer Merlin, and his prophecies ; And of a dragon and a finless fish, A clip-wing'd griffin, and a moulten raven, A couching lion, and a rampant cat, And such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff As puts me from my faith. I'll tell you what, — He held me, but last night, at least nine hours, In reckoning up the several devils' names, 41 «• but ijfulttBpjflrinit ltrtiDttari[. CAP BUTTON-HOLDER,— continued.

But mark'd him not a word. he's as tedious As is a tired horse, a railing wife ; Worse than a smoky house : I had rather live With cheese and garlick, in a windmill, far, Than feed on cates, and have him talk to me, In any summer-house in Christendom. H. IV. pt. i. iii. 1, BUT YET. I do not like but yet, it does allay The good precedence ; fie upon but yet ; But yet is as a jailer to bring forth Some monstrous malefactor. Pr'ythee, friend, Pour out the pack of matter to mine ear, The good and bad together. A. C. ii. 5. CALUMNY (See also Slander.) Back-wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. M. M. iii. 2. Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou Shalt not escape calumny. H. iii. 1. That thou art blam'd, shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair. Poems. CANDOUR. Speak of me as I am ; nothing extenuate Nor set down aught in malice. In simple and pure soul I come to you. CANNONADE (See also Siege). By east and west, let Prance and England mount Their battering cannon, charged to the mouths ; Till their soul-fearing clamours have brawl' d down The flinty ribs of this contemptuous city : I'd play incessantly upon these jades. Ev'n till unfenced desolation Leave them as naked as the vulgar air. K. J. ii. 2. CAPACITY.

A captain I these villains will make the word captain odious : therefore, captains had need look to it. H. IV. tt. ii. ii. 4. CAPTIOUSNESS. You must needs learn, lord, to amend this fault. Though sometimes it show greatness, courage, blood, (And that's the dearest grace it renders you) Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage, Defect of manners, want of government, Pride, haughtiness, opinion, and disdain: The least of which haunting a nobleman, Loseth men's hearts ; and leaves behind a stain Upon the beauty of all parts besides, Beguiling them of commendation. H. IV. pt. i. iii. 1. CARE. Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges sleep will never lie ; But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign. R. J. ii. S. You lay out too much pains, For purchasing but trouble. Cym. ii. 3. CARNAGE. Slaying is the word ; It is a deed in fashion. . J.C. ▼. 5. CAVALIER. But he, as loving his own pride and purposes, Evades them with a bombast circumstance, Horribly stulfd with epithets of war ; And, in conclusion, nonsuits My mediators. 0. i. I CAVILLER.

Good, my lord, let's fight with gentle words, Till time lend friends, and friends their helping swords. B. II. iii. 3. Come not between the dragon and his wrath. K. L. i. 1. Hear you me, Jessica : Lock up my doors ; and when you hear the drum, And the vile squeaking of the wry-neck' d fife, Clamber not you up to the casement then, Nor thrust your head into the public street, To gaze on Christian fools with varnish' d faces ; But stop my house's ears ; I mean my casements : Let not the sound of shallow foppery enter My sober house. M. V. ii. 6. Think him as a serpent's egg, Which, hatch'd, would, as his kind, grow mischievous ; And kill him in the shell . /. C. ii. 1.

Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea, Till that the weary very means do ebb ? What woman in the city do I name, When that I say, The city woman bears The cost of princes on unworthy shoulders ? Who can come in and say that I mean her, When such a one as she, such is her neighbour ? Or what is he of basest function, That says his bravery is not on my cost, (Thinking that I mean him,) but therein suits His folly to the mettle of my speech ? There, then ; How, what then ? Let me see wherein My tongue hath wrong'd him ; if it do him right, Then he hath wrong'd himself ; if he be free, Why then, my taxing like a wild-goose flies, TJnclaim'd of any man. A.Y. ii. 7.

Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich lees Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats, and pease ; Thy turfy mountains where live nibbling sheep, And flat meads thatch'd with stover, them to keep ; Thy banks with peonied and lilied brims, Which spungy April at thy hest betrims, To make cold nymphs, chaste crowns ; and dark broom groves, Whose shadow the dismissed bachelor loves, Being lass-lorn ; thy pole-clipt vineyard ; And thy sea-marge, sterile, and rocky hard, Where thou thyself dost air: The queen o' sky, Whose watery arch, and messenger, am I, Bids thee leave these ; and with her sovereign grace, Here, on this grass-plot, in this very plaee, To come and sport.

I'll write thee a challenge ; or I'll deliver thy indignation by word of mouth. T. N. ii. 4. By gar, it is a shallenge : I vill cut his troat in de park. M.W. i. 4. Go, write it in a martial hand ; be curst and brief; it is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent, and full of inven- tion ; taunt him with the license of ink. T. N. iii. 2. I protest Maugre thy strength, youth, place, and eminence, Despite thy victor sword, and fire-new fortune, Thy valour, and thy heart, — thou art a traitor : False to thy gods, thy brother, and thy father ; Conspirant 'gainst this high illustrious prince ; And from the extremest upward of thy head, To the descent and dust beneath thy feet, A most toad-spotted traitor. Say thou, No, This sword, this arm, and my best spirits are bent, To prove upon thy heart, whereto I speak, Thou liest. K. L. v. S. I never in my life Did hear a challenge urg'd more modestly, Unless a brother should a brother dare To gentle exercise and proof of arms. He gave you all the duties of a man ; Trimm'd up your praises with a princely tongue ; Spoke your deservings like a chronicle ; Making you ever better than his praise, By still dispraising praise, valued with you : And, which became him like a prince indeed, He made a blushing cital of himself; And chid his truant youth with such a grace, As if he master'd there a double spirit, Of teaching and of learning instantly. H. IV. pt. I. v. 2 CHAMPION. Like a bold champion, I assume the lists, 16 cha Ijjatapariaii iuiinitartj. cea CHAMPION,— continued. Nor ask advice of any other thought But faithfulness and courage. P.

For a charm of powerful trouble Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. M. iv. 1. Then I beat my tabor, At which, like unback'd colts, they prick' d their ears, Advanc'd their eyelids, lifted up their noses, As they smelt music ; so I charm' d their ears, That, calf-liki, they my lowing folio w'd through Tooth'd briars, sharp furzes, pricking goss, and thorns, Which enter'd their frail shins : at last I left them I'the filthy mantled pool beyond your cell.

The charm dissolves apace ; And as the morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness, so their rising senses Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle Their clearer reason. 2*. v. 1 a cha S^ktspuhn iirtiiittaq. chi CHASTITY. Chaste as the icicle, That's curded by the frost from purest snow, And hangs on Dian's temple. C. v. 3. Of chastity, the ornaments are chaste. Poems. She'll not be hit With Cupid's arrow ; she hath Dian's wit ; And, in strong proof of chastity well arm'd, From love's weak childish bow she lives unharm'd. r. i i. i. I thought her As chaste as unsunn'd snow. Cym. ii. 6. She will not stay the siege of loving terms, Nor 'bide th' encounter of assailing eyes, Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold. R. J. i. 1. CHEATS (See also Knaves). They say, this town is full of cozenage ; As, nimble jugglers, that deceive the eye, Dark-working sorcerers, that change the mind, Soul-killing witches, that deform the body ; Disguised cheaters, prating mountebanks, And many such like libertines of sin. G. E. i. 2. CHECK. I Bee this hath a little dash'd your spirits. 0. iii. 3. CHEERFULNESS. Why should a man whose blood is warm within, Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster? Sleep when he wakes, and creep into the jaundice By being peevish. M. V. i. 1. CHIDING. But I'll not chide thee ; Let shame come when it will, I do not call it : I do not bid the thunder-bearer shoot, Nor tell tales of thee to high-judging Jove : Mend, when thou can'st ; be better at thy leisure : I can be patient. K. L. ii. 4. 0, what a beast was I to chide him ! R. J. iii. 2. CHILDREN, Undutiful (See also Filial Ingratitude). I shall see The winged vengeance overtake such children. K. L. iii. 7. CHIVALRY.

CHRISTIAN WARS. I always thought, It was both impious and unnatural, That such immanity and bloody strife Should reign among professors of one faith. H. VI. FT. I. V. 1. CHURCHMEN. Who should be pitiful if you be not ? Or who should study to prefer a peace, If holy churchmen take delight in broils ? H. VI. pt. i. iii. 1. Love and meekness, lord, Become a churchman better than ambition ; Win straying souls with modesty again, Cast none away. H. VIII. v. 2. I am of the church, and will be glad to do my benevo- lence, to make atonements and compromises between you. M. W. i. 1. If we did think His contemplations were above the earth, And fix'd on spiritual objects, he should still Dwell in his musings : but I am afraid, His thinkings are below the moon, not worth His serious considering.

The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Burn'd on the water : the poop was beaten gold ; Purple the sails, and so perfumed, that The winds were love-sick with them : the oars were silver ; Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made The water, which they beat, to follow faster, As amorous of their strokes. For her own person, It beggar'd all description : she did lie In her pavilion (cloth of gold of tissue) O'er-picturing that Venus, where we see, The fancy out- work nature ; on each side her, Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids, With diverse-colour'd fans, whose wind did seem To glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool ; — And what they undid, did. Her gentlewomen, like the Nereides, So many mermaids, tended her i' the eyes, And made their bends adornings : at the helm, A seeming mermaid steers ; the silken tackle Swell with the touches of those flower-soft hands, That yarely frame the office. From the barge, A strange invisible perfume hits the sense Of the adjacent wharfs. A.C. ii. 2. CLERICAL FUNCTION.

H. i. 1. COCKATKICES. This will so fright them both, that they will kill one another by the look, like cockatrices. T.N. iii. 4. COLDNESS (See also Frigidity).

Commodity, the bias of the world ; The world, who of itself is poised well, Made to run even upon even ground ; Till this advantage, this vile drawing bias, This sway of motion, this commodity, Makes it take head from all indifferency, From all direction, purpose, course, intent : And this same bias, this commodity, This bawd, this broker, this all-changing word, Clapp'd on the outward eye of fickle France, Hath drawn him from his own determin'd aid, From a resolv'd and honourable war, To a most base and vile concluded peace.

Why, love forswore me in my mother's womb : And, for I should not deal in her soft laws, She did corrupt frail nature with a bribe To shrink mine arm up like a wither'd shrub ; To make an envious mountain on my back, Where sits deformity to mock my body ; To shape my legs of an unequal size ; To disproportion me in every part ; Like to a chaos, or an unlick'd bear-whelp, That carries no impression like the dam. And am I then a man to be belov'd ? 0, monstrous fault to harbour such a thought ! H. VI. pt. in. iii, 2, But I, — that am not shap'd for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking glass , I that am rudely stampt, and want love's majesty, To strut before a wanton ambling nymph ; 1, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deform'd, unfinish'd, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable, That dogs bark at me as I halt by them : — Why I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun, And descant on mine own deformity. R. III. i. 1. But, 0, how vile an idol proves this god ! Thou hast, Sebastian, done good feature shame.

Omission to do what is necessary Seals a commission to a blank of danger ; And danger, like an ague, subtly taints Ev'n then when we sit idly in the sun. T. C. iii. 3.

I talk of dreams ; Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy ; Which is as thin of substance as the air ; And more inconstant than the wind, which wooes Even now the frozen bosom of the north, And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence, Turning his face to the dew -dropping south.

There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip ; Nay, her foot speaks ; her wanton spirits look out, At every joint and motion of her body. 0, these encounterers, so glib of tongue, That give a coasting welcome ere it comes, And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts To every ticklish reader 1 set them down For sluttish spoils of opportunity, And daughters of the game. T. G. iv. 5 EXPULSION. I cannot tell, good Sir, for which of his virtues it was, but he was certainly whipped out of the court. W. T. iv. 2. EXTACY. Helicanus, strike me, honor'd Sir ; Give me a gash, put me to present pain ; Lest this great sea of joys rushing upon me, O'erbear the shores of my mortality, And drown me with their sweetness. P. P. v. 1. EXTENUATION. I would, I could Quit all offences with as clear excuse, As well as, I am doubtless, I can purge Myself of many I am charg'd withal : Yet such extenuation let me beg, As, in reproof of many tales devis'd,— Which oft the ear of greatness needs must hear, — By smiling pick-thanks and base newsmongers, 1 may, ibr some things true, wherein my youth Hath faulty wander'd and irregular, Find pardon on my true submission.

T.N i. 2 EYE. Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze. B. J. iii. 1 The eye sees not itself, But by reflection, by some other things. /. G. i. 2, Let every eye negociate for itself, and trust no agent. M.A.'uA lis eye ijmbsimmatt Duttiiitanj. eye EYE, — continued. An eye like Mars, to threaten and command. H. iii. 4, What an eye she hath I methinks it sounds a parley of provocation. 0. ii. 3. For his ordinary, pays his heart, For what his eyes eat only. A. O. ii. 2. From women's eyes this doctrine I derive : They sparkle still the right Promethean fire ; They are the books, the arts, the academies, That show, contain, and nourish all the world ; Else, none at all in aught proves excellent. L. L. iv. 3. Thou tell'st me there is murder in mine eye : 'Tis pretty, sure, and very probable, That eyes, — that are the frail'st and softest things, Who shut their coward gates on atomies, — Should be call'd tyrants, butchers, murderers ! Now I do frown on thee with all my heart ; And, if mine eyes can wound, now let them kill thee ; Now counterfeit to swoon ; why now fall down ; Or, if thou can'st not, 0, for shame, for shame, Lie not, to say mine eyes are murderers. Now show the wound mine eyes have made in thee : Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains Some scar of it ; lean but upon a rush, The cicatrice and capable impressure Thy palm some moment keeps : but now mines eyes, Which I have darted at thee, hurt thee not ; Nor, I am sure, there is no force in eyes, That can do hurt. J.. PI iii. 5, She speaks, yet she says nothing; — what of that? Her eye discourses, I will answer it. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks : Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. B. J. ii. 2, I perceive, these lords, At this encounter, do so much admire, That they devour their reason ; and scarce think Their eyes do offices of truth, their words Are natural breath. T. v.

Where the bee sucks, there suck I, In a cowslip's bell I lie : There I couch when owls do cry. On the bat's back I do fly, After summer merrily : Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. T, v. 1. Fairies, black, grey, green, and white, You moon-shine revellers, and shades of night, You orphan-heirs of fixed destiny, Attend your office, and your quality. M.

M.W. v. 5 Be kind and courteous to this gentleman ; Hop in his walks, and gambol in his eyes ; Feed him with apricocks and dewberries, With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries , The honey bags steal from the humble bees, And, for night-tapers, crop their waxen thighs.

Well, if ever thou dost fall from this faith, thou wilt prove a notable argument. M. A. i. I. FALLEN Greatness (See also Life, Death, Mighty Dead.) 'Tis a sufferance, panging As soul and body's severing. H. VIII. ii. 3. Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness ! This is the state of man : To-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hope ; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him ; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost ; And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening, — nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventur'd, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory ; But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me ; and now has left me, Weary, and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must for ever hide me. Vain pomp, and glory of this world, I hate ye ; I feel my heart new opened : 0, how wretched Is that poor man, that hangs on princes' favours ! There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars and women have ; And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again.

I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness 1 And, from that full meridian of my glory, I haste now to my setting. I shall fall Like a bright exhalation in the evening, And no man see me more. H.VIII. iii, 2 Where is thy husband now ? where be thy brothers ? Where be thy two sons ? wherein dost thou joy ? Who sues, and kneels, and says — God save the queen ? Where be the bending peers that flatter'd thee ? Where be the thronging troops that follow' d thee ? Decline all this, and see what now thou art. E.

J.C. iii. 1 'Tis certain, greatness, once fallen out with fortune, Must fall out with men too : What the declin'd is, He shall as soon read in the eyes of others, As feel in his own fall : — for men, like butterflies, Show not their mealy wings but to the summer.

The king has cur'd me, I humbly thank his grace ; and from these shoulders, These ruin'd pillars, out of pity, taken A load would sink a navy, too much honour: O, 'tis a burden, Cromwell, 'tis a burden, Too heavy for a man that hopes for heaven.

Let's choose executors, and talk of wills : And yet not so, for what can we bequeath, Save our deposed bodies to the ground ? Our lands, our lives, and all are Bolingbroke's, A.nd nothing can we call our own, but death ; A.nd that small model of the barren earth, Which serves as paste and cover to our bones. For heaven's sake let us sit upon the ground, A.nd tell sad stories of the death of kings : — How some have been depos'd, some slain in war ; — Some haunted by the ghosts they have depos'd ; Some poison'd by their wives, some sleeping kill'd ; A.11 murdered.

I am damned in hell, for swearing to gentlemen, my friends, you were good soldiers, and tall fellows : and when Mistress Bridget lost the handle of her fan, I took't upon mine honour, thou hadst it not. M. W. ii. 2. Hair. So are those crisped snaky golden locks, Which make such wanton gambols with the wind, Upon supposed fairness, often known To be the dowry of a second head, The scull that bred them in the sepulchre. M. V. iii. 2. FALSEHOOD. Falser than vows made in wine. A.T. iii. 5. As false 1 as dicers' oaths. H. iii. 4, what a goodly outside falsehood hath. M. V. i. 3. That same Diomed is a false-hearted rogue, a most un- just knave ; I will no more trust him when he leers, than 1 will a serpent when he hisses ; he will spend his mouth, and promise, like Brabler the hound ; but when he performs, astronomers fortel it ; it is prodigious ; there will come some change ; the sun borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his word. T. O. v. 1. FALLSTAFF. I have much to say on behalf of that Fallstaff. H. IV. ft. i. ii. 4. FAME (See also Celebrity).

Why every fault's condemn'd ere it be done : Mine were the very cipher of a function, To find the faults whose fine stands in record, And let go by the actor. M. M. ii. ^ There's something in me that- reproves my fault ; But such a headstrong potent fault it is, That it but mocks reproof. T. N. iii. 4. There were none principal ; they were all like one another, as halfpence are ; every one fault seeming mon- strous, till his fellow fault came to match it. A. Y. iii. 2.

Let not the world see fear and sad distrust Govern the motion of a kingly eye. K. J. v. 1. I am sick and capable of fears ; Oppressed with wrongs, and therefore full of fears ; A widow, husbandless, subject to fears ; A woman, naturally born to fears. K. J. iii. 1. I have almost forgot the very "taste of fears : The time has been my senses would have cool'd To hear a night-shriek ; and my fell of hair "Would, at a dismal treatise, rouse, and stir, As life were in't : I have supp'd full of horrors ; Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, Cannot once start me. M. v. 5. FEINT. ; Tis a pageant To keep us in false gaze. 0. i. & FICKLENESS. Novelty is only in request ; and it is dangerous to be aged in any kind of course, as it is virtuous to be constant in any undertaking. There is scarce truth enough alive to make societies secure ; but security enough, to make fellow- ships accursed : much upon this riddle runs the wisdom of the world. M. M. iii. 2. FICTIONS.

Nay, do not think I flatter : For what advancement may I hope from thee, That no revenue hast, but thy good spirits, To feed and clothe thee ? Why should the poor be flatter'd ? No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee Where thrift may follow fawning. H. iii. 2.

Of those effects for which I did the murder, — My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen. May one be pardon'd, and retain the offence ? H. iii. 3.

A C. iv. 12. In the reproof of chance Lies the true proof of men : The sea being smooth ; How many shallow bauble boats dare sail Upon her patient breast, making their way With those of nobler bulk ! But let the ruffian Boreas once enrage The gentle Thetis, and, anon, behold The strong-ribb'd bark through liquid mountains cut, Bounding between the two moist elements, Like Perseus' horse : Where's then the saucy boat, Whose weak untimber'd sides but even now Co-rivalPd greatness ? either to harbour fled, Or made a toast for Neptune. Even so, Doth valour's show, and valour's worth, divide In storms of fortune : for, in her ray and brightness, The herd hath more annoyance by the brize, Than by the tiger ; but when the splitting wind Makes flexible the knees of knotted oaks, And flies fled under shade, — why, then, the thing of courage, As rous'd with rage, with rage doth sympathize, And, with an accent tun'd in self-same key, Returns to chiding fortune. T. 0. i. 3. Mine honour keeps the weather of my fate. T.O. v. 3. FORTUNE. I have upon a high and pleasant hill, Feign' d Fortune to be thron'd : The base o' the mount Is rank'd with all deserts, all kind of natures, That labour on the bosom of this sphere, To propagate their states : amongst them all, Whose eyes are on this sovereign lady fix'd, One do I personate of Timon's frame, 1B» 12* for ijmbspjarifltt liritfliuinj* for FORTUNE,-— continued. Whom Fortune, with her ivory hand, wafts to her ; Whose present grace to present slaves and servants Translates his rivals. * * * All those which were his fellows hut of late (Some better than his value,) on the moment Follow his strides, his lobbies fill with tendance, Rain sacrificial whisperings in his ear, Make sacred even his stirrup, and through him Drink the free air. * * * When Fortune, in her shift and change of mood, Spurns down her late belov'd, all his dependants, Which labour'd after him to the mountain's top, Even on their knees and hands, let him slip down, Not one accompanying his declining foot. T. A. i. 1, Fortune, Fortune ! all men call thee fickle. R. J. iii. 5. Will Fortune never come with both hands full, But write her fair words still in foulest letters ? She either gives a stomach and no food, — Such are the poor, in health ; — or else a feast, And takes away the stomach, — such are the rich, That have abundance, and enjoy it not. H.IV. pt. ii. i\ 4, Twinn'd brothers of one womb, — Whose procreation, residence, and birth, Saarce is dividant, — touch them with several fortunes, f £ he greater scorns the lesser : Not nature, To whom all sores lay siege, can bear great fortune, But by contempt of nature. Raise me this beggar, and denude that lord ; The senator shall bear contempt hereditary, The beggar, native honour. It is the pasture lards the brother's sides, The want that makes him lean. T.

S Why, then, you princes, Do you with cheeks abash' d behold our works ; And think them shames, which are, indeed, nought elsf But the protractive trials of great Jove, To find persistive constancy in men ? The fineness of which metal is not found In Fortune's love ; for then, the bold and coward, The wise and fool, the artist and unread, The hard and soft, seem all affin'd and kin : But in the wind and tempest of her frown, Distinction, with a broad and powerful fan, Puffing at all, winnows the light away ; 138 for #ijitta|nitna& DirtiiittanL fra FORTUNE,— continued. And what hath mass, or matter, by itself Lies, rich in virtue, and unmingled. T. C. i. 3. How some men creep in skittish Fortune's hall, While others play the idiots in her eyes 1 How one man eats into another's pride, While pride is fasting in his wantonness ! T. C. iii. 3. Many dream not to find, neither deserve, And yet are steep'd in favours. Cym. v. 4. A thousand moral paintings I can show, That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune, More pregnantly than words. Yet you do well, To show lord Timon, that mean eyes have seen The foot above the head. T. A. i. 1. I see men's judgments are A parcel of their fortunes ; and things outward To draw the inward quality after them, To suffer all alike. A.C. iii. 11. When Fortune means to men most good, She looks upon them with a threatening eye. ^ K. J. iii. 4. Be cheerful ,• wipe thine eyes : Some falls are means the happier to arise. Cym. iv. 2. A good man's fortune may grow out at heels. K. L. ii. 2. That strumpet, Fortune. X. J. iii. 1. Fortune brings in some boats that are not steer'd. Cym. iv. 3. Since you will buckle Fortune on my back, To bear her burden, whe'r I will or no, I must have patience to endure the load. E. III. iii. 7.

Look, here comes one ; a gentlewoman of mine, Who, falling in the flames of her own youth, Hath blistered her report. M. M. ii. 3. FRIBBLES (See also Coxcombs). Ah, how the poor world is pestered with such water-fliee ; diminutives of nature ! T. C. v, I , I remember, when the fight was done. When I was dry with rage and extreme toil, Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword, Came there a certain lord, neat, trimly dress'd, Fresh as a bridegroom ; and his chin, new reap'd, Show'd like a stubble land at harvest home. He was perfumed like a milliner; And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held A pouncet-box, which ever and anon He gave his nose, and took't away again ; — Who, therewith angry, when it next came there, Took it in snuff; — and still he smiPd, and talk'd And, as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, He call'd them untaught knaves, unmannerly, To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse Betwixt the wind and his nobility. With many holiday and lady terms He question'd me: among the rest, demanded My prisoners, in your Majesty's behalf. I then, all smarting, with my wounds being cold, To be so pester'd with a popinjay, Out of my grief and my impatience, Answer'd neglectingly, I know not what ; He should, or should not ; for he made me mad, To see him shine so brisk, and smell so sweet, And talk so like a waiting gentlewoman, Of guns, and drums, and wounds, (God save the mark !J And telling me, the sovereign'st thing on earth Was parmaceti, for an inward bruise ; And that it was great pity, so it was, lhat villainous saltpetre should be digg'd Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, 140 fri jfifynkupuhn Dutiatutrij. fri FRI BBLE to, — continued.

IV. pt. i. i % FRIEND. Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice, And could of men distinguish her election, She had seal'd thee for herself: for thou hast been As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing ; A man, that fortune's buffets and rewards Hast ta'en with equal thanks ; and bless'd are those Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled, That they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger To sound what*; top she please : Give me that man That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, As I do thee. S. iii. 2. Who, in want, a hollow friend doth try, Directly seasons him an enemy. H. iii. 2. 0, you gods ! think I, what need we have any friends ? they were the most needless creatures living, if we should never have need of them ? They would most resemble sweet instruments hung up in cases, that keep their sounds to themselves. We are born to do benefits. what a pre- cious comfort 'tis to have so many like brothers, command- ing one another's fortunes ! T. A. i. 2.

There are no tricks in plain and simple faith ; But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle ; But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and, like deceitful jades, Sink in the trial.

T. A. i. % Canst thou the conscience lack, To think I shall lack friends ?

M. iv. 3. GOOD THINGS. Well, I cannot last for ever : But it was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common. If you will needs say I am an old man, you should give me rest. I would to God my name were not so terrible to the enemy as it is.

Rightly to be great, Is, not to stir without great argument ; But greatly to find quarrel in a straw, When honour's at the stake. H. iv. 4. Would you praise Caesar, say, — Caesar ; go no further.

A. C iii. 6. Simple. Trust me, sweet, Out of this silence yet I pick'd a welcome ; And in the modesty of fearful duty I read as much, as from the rattling tongue Of saucy and audacious eloquence. Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity In least, speak most, to my capacity. M. N. v. 1. BRIEF (See also Lamentation, Sorrow, Tears). Men Can counsel, and speak comfort to that grief "Which they themselves not feel ; but, tasting it, Their counsel turns to passion, which before Would give preceptial medicine to rage, Fetter strong madness with a silken thread, Charm ache with air, and agony with words. No, no ; 'tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under a load of sorrow ; But no man's virtue, nor sufficiency, To be so moral, when he shall endure The like himself : therefore give me no counsel ; My griefs cry louder than advertisement. M. A. v. 1 . "When remedies are past, the griefs are ended, By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended. To mourn a mischief that is past and gone, Is the next way to draw new mischief on.

H. IV. pt. ii. iv. 4 One of the prettiest touches of all, and that which angled for mine eyes (caught the water, though not the fish) was, when at the relation of the queen's death, with the manner how she came to it, (bravely confessed and lamented by the king), how attentiveness wounded his daughter : till, from one sign of dolour to another, she did, with an alas ! I would fain say, bleed tears ; for, I am sure, my heart wept blood. Who was most marble there, changed colour ; some swooned, all sorrowed : if all the world could have seen it, the woe had been universal. TV. T. v. 2. Care is no cure, but rather corrosive, For things that are not to be remedied. H. VI. pt. i. iii. 3 Why do you keep alone, Of sorriesi fancies your companions making?

Your presence glads our days ; honour we love, For who hates honour, hates the gods above. P. P. ii. 3. For men, like butterflies, Show not their mealy wings but to the summer ; And not a man, for being simply man, Hath any honour ; but honour for those honours That are without him ; as place, riches, favour, Prizes of accident as oft as merit : Which, when they fall, as being slippery standers, The love that lean'd on them as slippery too, Do one pluck down another, and together Die in the fall.

From lowest place when virtuous things proceed, The place is dignified by the doer's deed : Where great additions swell, and virtue none, It is a dropsied honour: good alone Is good, without a name : vileness is so ; The property by what it is should go, Not by the title.

The ample proposition that hope makes In all designs begun on earth below, Fails in the promis'd largeness : checks and disasters Grow in the veins of actions, highest rear'd ; As knots by the conflux of meeting sap, Infect the sound pine and divert his grain, Tortive and errant from his course of growth.

R.

B. UI. iii. 7. There is no vice so simple, but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. M. V. iii. 2. This outward-sainted deputy, — Whose settled visage and deliberate word Nips youth i' the head, and follies doth enmew, As falcon doth the fowl, — is yet a devil. M.

O, iii. 3 beware, my lord, of jealousy ; It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock The meat it feeds on : That cuckold lives in bliss, Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger ; But, 0, what damned minutes tells he o'er, Who dotes, yet doubts ; suspects, yet strongly loves ! 0. iii. 3 These are the forgeries of jealousy : And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain, or by rushy brook, Or on the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturb' d our sport.

P. i. 3 But not a minute, king, that thou can'st give : Shorten my days, thou can'st, with sullen sorrow, And pluck nights from me, but not lend a morrow : Thou canst help time to furrow me with age, But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage ; Thy word is current with him for my death , But, d >ad, thy kingdom cannot buy my breath.

H. TV. pt. i. iv. I England ne'er had a king until his time. Virtue he had, deserving to command ;_ His brandish'd sword did blind men with his beared ; His arms spread wider than a dragon's wings ; His sparkling eyes, replete with wrathful fire, More dazzled and drove back his enemies^ Than mid-day sun, fierce bent against their faces. What should I say ? his deeds exceed all speech : He ne'er lift up his hand, but conquered. H. VI. pt. i. i. 1 Hear him but reason in divinity, And, all-admiring, with an inward wish You would desire the king were made a prelate : Hear him debate of commonwealth affairs, You would say — it hath been all-in-all his study ; List his discourse of war, and you shall hear A fearful battle render'd you in music : Turn him to any cause of policy, The Gordian knot of it he will unloose, Familiar as his garter ; that, when he speaks, The air, a charter'd libertine, is still, And the mute wonder lurketh in men's ears, To steal his sweet and honey'd sentences.

H. iii. 3 's Evil. 'Tis call'd the evil : A most miraculous work in this good king : Which often, since my here-remain in England, I have seen him do. How he solicits heaven, Himself best knows : but strangely visited people, All swoln and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye, The mere despair of surgery, he cures ; Hanging a golden stamp about their necks, Put on with holy prayers ; and 'tis spoken, To the succeeding royalty he leaves The healing benediction.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come ; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. Poems. To be wise, and love, exceeds man's might. T. C. iii. 2, Good shepherd, tell this youth what 'tis to love. It is to be all made of sighs and tears, It is to be all made of faith and service, It is to be all made of fantasy.

And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices. It adds a precious seeing to the eye ; A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind ; A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound, When the suspicious head of theft is stopp'd ; Love's feeling is more soft, and sensible, Than are the tender horns of cockled snails ; Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste : For valour, is not love a Hercules, Still climbing trees in the Hesperides ? Subtle as Sphynx, t,s n-mcet and musical A.s bright Apollo's lute, strung with his hair; And, when love speaks, the voice of all the gods .Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony. Never durst poet touch a pen to write, Until his ink were temper'd witn love's sighs ; O then his lines would ravish savage ears, And plant in tyrants mild humility. L. L. iv. 3 Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs ; Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in a lover's eyes ; .Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears : What is it else ? a madness most discreet^ A cLoking gall, and a preserving sweet- .

Didst thou but know the inly touch of love, Thou would'st as soon go kindle fire with snow, As seek to quench the fire of love with words. T.O. n. 7. Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind : And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind ; Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste ; Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste ; And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd. M. N. i. 1. Love is a familiar : love is a devil : there is no evil angel but love.

Perdition catch my soul, But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again. 0. iii. d 1 know I love in vain, strive against hope ; Yet in this captious and intenible sieve, I still pour in the waters of my love, And lack not to lose still : thus, Indian-like, Religious in mine error, I adore The sun, that looks upon his worshipper, But knows of him no more. A. W. i- 3. We, that are true lovers, run into strange capers ; but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly. A.Y.n.A. Love is merely a madness ; and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip, as madmen do : and the reason why they are not so punished and cured, is, that the lunacy is so ordinary, that the whippers are in love too. A.Y.iii. 2. coz, coz, coz, my pretty little coz, that thou didst know how many fathom deep I am in love ! But it cannot be sounded ; my affection hath an unknown bottom, like the bay of Portugal. A.

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see The pretty follies that themselves commit ; For, if they could, Cupid himself would blush. M. V. ii. 6. This is the very ecstacy of love : _ Whose violent property fore does itself, And leads the will to desperate undertakings, As oft as any passion under heaven, That does afflict our natures. 3. ii. 1. Cressid, I love thee in so strain'd a purity, That the bless'd gods — as angry with my fancy, More bright in zeal than the devotion which Cold lips blow to their deities. T. G. iv. 4. I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much another man is a fool when he dedicates his behaviour to love, will, after he hath laughed at such shallow follies in others, become the argument of his own scorn, by falling in love. M. -4. ii. 3 The more thou dainm'st it up, the more it burns ; The current, that with gentle murmur glides, Thou know'st, being stopped, impatiently doth rage But when his fair course is not hindered, He makes sweet music with th' enamel' d stones, Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge He overtaketh in his pilgrimage ; And so, by many winding nooks, he strays, With willing sport, to the wild ocean. T. G. ii. 7. 0, pardon me, my lord ; it oft falls out, To have what we'd have, we speak not what we mean : I something do excuse the thing I hate, For his advantage that I dearly love. M. M. ii. 4.

Your brother and my sister no sooner met, but they looked ; no sooner looked, but they loved ; no sooner loved, but they sighed ; no sooner sighed, but they asked one another the reason ; no sooner knew the reason, but they sought the remedy : and in these degrees they have made a pair of stairs to marriage. A. Y. v. 2. Indeed, he was mad for her, and talk'd of Satan, and of limbo, and of furies. A.W. v. 3. But if thy love were ever like to mine, How many actions most ridiculous Hast thou been drawn to by thy fantasy ! A. Y. ii. 4. He was wont to speak plain, and to the purpose, like an honest man, and a soldier ; and now he has turn'd ortho- grapher ; his words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many strange dishes. M.

For aught that ever I could read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth ; But, either it was different in blood ; cross ! too high to be enthralPd to low I Or else misgraffed, in respect of years ; spite ! too old to be engag'd to young ! Or else it stood upon the choice of friends : hell ! to choose love by another's eye ! Or, if there Were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it ; Making it momentary as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream ; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfold both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say, — Behold ! The jaws of darkness do devour it up : So quick bright things come to confusion. M.

T.NA.I In love, the heavens themselves do guide the state, Money buys lands, and wives are sold by fate. M. W. v. 5. I have done penance for contemning love ; Whose high imperious thoughts have punish'd me With bitter fasts, with penitential groans, With nightly tears, and daily heart-sore sighs , For in revenge of my contempt of love, Love hath chas'd sleep from my enthralled eyes, And made them watchers of mine own heart's sorrow. T.G.nA. I know no ways to mince it in love, but directly to say, I love you ; then, if you urge me further than to say, Do you in faith ? I wear out my suit.

This was the noblest Roman of them all : All the conspirators, save only he, Did that they did in envy of great Caesar ; He, only, in a general honest thought, And common good to all, made one of them.

L. iii. 4 A breath thou art, (Servile to all the skiey influences), That dost this habitation, where thou keep'st, Hourly afflict ; merely, thou art death's fool ; For him thou labour'st by thy flight to shun, And yet runn'st toward him still : Thou art not noble: For all the accommodations that thou bear'st, Are nurs'd by baseness : Thou art by no means valiant ; For thou dost fear the soft and tender fork Of a poor worm : Thy best of rest is sleep, And that thou oft provok'st ; yet grossly fear'st Thy death, which is no more. Thou art not thyself; For thou exist' st on many a thousand grains That issue out of dust: Happy thou art not; For what thou hast not, still thou striv'st to get : And what thou hast, forget'st : Thou art not certain ; For thy complexion shifts to strange effects, After the moon : If thou art rich, thou art poor ; For, like an ass, whose back with ingots bows, Thou bear'st thy heavy riches but a journey, Till death unloads thee : Friend hast thou none ; For thine own bowels, which do call thee sire, The mere effusion of thy proper loins, Do curse the gout, serpigo, and the rheum, For ending thee no sooner: Thou hast nor youth, nar ag* 226 man llialuspitriaH lirtinnarq. man MAN, — continued. But, as it were, an after-dinner's sleep, Dreaming on both ; for all thy blessed youth Becomes as aged, and does beg the alms Of palsied eld ; and when thou art old, and rich, Thou hast neither heat, affection, limb, nor beauty, To make thy riches pleasant. What's yet in this, That bears the name of life ? Yet in this life Lie hid more thousand deaths : yet death we fear, That makes these odds all even. M. M. iii. 1.

Man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion. M. A. y. 4. MANHOOD Deteriorated. But manhood is melted into courtesies, valour into com- pliment, and men are turned into tongue, and trim ones too : he is now as valiant as Hercules that only tells a He, and swears to it. M.

I onoe did hold it, as our statists do, A baseness to write fair, and labour' d much How to forget that learning ; but, sir, now It did me yeoman's service. H. v. 2. MARRIAGE (See also Espousal). A contract of eternal bond of love, Confirmed by mutual joinder of your hands, Attested by the holy close of lips, Strengthened by interchangement of your rings ; And all the ceremony of this compact Seal'd in my function by my testimony. T. N.v. 1. Marriage is a matter of more worth Than to be dealt in by attorneyship. For what is wedlock forced, but a hell, An age of discord and continual strife ? Whereas the contrary bringeth forth bliss, And is a pattern of celestial peace. H.

L. i. 2 I have of late (but wherefore I know not) lost all my mirth, foregone all custom of exercises : and, indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition, that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory ; this most excel- lent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me, than a foul and pesti- lent congregation of vapours.

We have been up and down to seek for thee ; for we are high proof melancholy, and would fain have it beaten away : Wilt thou use thy wit? M. A. v. 1. I have neither the scholar's melancholy, which is emula- tion ; nor the musician's, which is fantastical ; nor the courtier's, which is proud; nor the soldier's, which is am- bitious ; nor the lawyer's, which is politic ; nor the lady's, which is nice ; nor the lover's, which is all these ; but it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects : and, indeed, the sundry con- templation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me, is a most humorous sadness. A. Y. iv. 1. Why, he will look upon his boot, and sing ; mend the ruff, and sing ; ask questions, and sing ; pick his teeth, and sing: I knew a man that had this trick of melancholy, sold a goodly manor for a song.

Your mind is tossing on the ocean ; There, where your argosies with portly sail, Like signiors and rich burghers of the flood, Or, as it were, the pageants of the sea, — Do overpeer the petty traffickers, That curt'sy to them, do them reverence, As they fly by them with their woven wings. M. V. i. 1. MERCY. Wilt thou draw near the nature of the gods ? Draw near them then in being merciful: Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge. Tit. And. L 2 The quality of mercy is not strain'd ; It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heavea, Upon the place beneath : it is twice bless'd ; It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes • 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest ; it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown : His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings ; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the heart of kings, It is an attribute to God himself: MjsK &l$bknpuhn Dirtinitimf. meb MERCY, — continued. And earthly pow'r doth then show likest God's, "When mercy seasons justice. M. V. iv. L Alas ! alas !

If little faults, proceeding on distemper, Shall not be wink'd at, how shall we stretch our eye, When capital crimes, chew'd, swallow'd, and digested, Appear before us ? H. V. ii. 2. Press not a falling man too far ; 'tis virtue : His faults lie open to the laws ; let them, Not you, correct him. H..YJH. iii. 2. Well, believe this ; No ceremony that to great ones 'longs, Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, The marshal's truncheon, nor the judge's robe, Become them with one half so good a grace, As mercy does. M. M. ii. 2. Lawful mercy is Nothing akin to foul redemption. M. M. ii. 4. Though justice be thy plea, consider this: — That in the course of justice, none of us Should see salvation : we do pray for mercy ; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. M. V. iv. 1. , Mercy is not itself that oft looks so ; Pardon is still the nurse of second woe. M. M. ii. 1. You must not dare, for shame, to talk of mercy ; For your own reasons turn into your bosoms, As dogs upon their masters, worrying them. H. V. ii. 2. MERIT. There is more owing her than is paid ; and more shall be paid her than she'll demand. A. W i. 3. You see, my good wenches, how men of merit are sought after.

The first bringer of unwelcome news Hath but a losing office ; and his tongue Sounds ever after as a .sullen bell, Remembered knolling a departed friend. E. IV. pt. ii. i. X. Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news : Give to a gracious message A host of tongues ; but let ill tidings tell Themselves, when they be felt. A.G. ii. 5 Here is a dear and true industrious friend, Sir Walter Blount, new lighted from his horse, Stain'd with the variation of each soil Betwixt that Holmedon, and this seat of ours ; And he hath brought us smooth and welcome news. H. IV. pt. l. i. 1. I have not seen So likely an ambassador of love ; A day in April never came so sweet, To show how costly summer was at hand, As this fore-spurrer comes before his lord. M. V. ii. 9, Be thou as lightning in the eyes of France ; For ere thou canst report, I will be there ; The thunder of my cannon shall be heard. K. J. i. 1 Why, he is dead.

He told me, that rebellion had bad luck, And that young Harry Percy's spur was cold ; With that, he gave his able horse the head, And, bending forward, struck his armed heels Against the panting sides of his poor jade, Up to the rowel head ; and, starting so, He seem'd in running to devour the way, Staying no further question.

There on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds Clamb'ring to hang, an envious sliver broke ; When down her weedy trophies, and herself, Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide ; And mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up : Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes ; As one incapable of her own distress, Or like a creature native and endu'd Unto that element : but long it could not be, Till that her garments, heavy with their drink, Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay, To muddy death.

Take but degree away, untune that string, And, hark, what discord follows I each thing meets In mere oppugnancy : The bounded waters Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores, And make a sop of all this solid globe : Strength should be lord of imbecility, And the rude son should strike his father dead : Force should be right ; or, rather, right and wrong (Between whose endless jar justice resides) Should lose their names, and so should justice too. Then every thing includes itself in power, Power into will, will into appetite : And appetite, a universal wolf, So doubly seconded with will and power, Must make perforce a universal prey, And, last, eat up himself.

Rude am I in speech, And little bless'd with the soft phrase of peace ; For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith, Till now some nine moons wasted, they have us'd Their dearest action in the tented field ; And little of this great world can I speak, More than pertains to feats of broil and battle ; And therefore little shall I grace my cause, In speaking for myself: Yet, by your gracious patience, I will a round unvarnish'd tale deliver Of my whole course of love ; what drugs, what charms. What conjuration, and what mighty magic, (For such proceeding I am charg'd withal) I won his daughter with. Her father lov'd me ; oft invited me ; Still question'd me the story of my life, From year to year; the battles, sieges, fortunes, That I have pass'd. I ran it through, even from my boyish days, To the very moment that he bade me tell it. Wherein I spoke of most disastrous chances, Of moving accidents by flood and field ; Of hair-breadth 'scapes i' the imminent deadly breach : Of being taken by the insolent foe, And sold to slavery ; of my redemption thence, And portance in my travel's history : Wherein of antres vast, and desarts wild, Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven It was my hint to speak. Such was my pro'.'ess # : And of the cannibals that each other eat, The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads Do grow beneath their shoulders.

I did consent ; And often did beguile her of her tears, When I did speak of some distressful stroke, That my youth suffered. My story being done, She gave me for my pains a world of sighs ; She swore, — In faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange, 'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful : She wish'd* she had not heard it ; yet she wish'd That heaven had made her such a man. She thank'd me ; And bade me, if I had a friend that lov'd her, I should but teach him how to tell my story, And that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake ; She lov'd me for the dangers I had pass'd ; And I lov'd her, that she did pity them : This only is the witchcraft I have us'd ; Here comes the lady, let her witness it. 0. i. 3 Farewell. now, for ever, Farewell the tranquil mind !

By being seldom seen, I could not stir, But, like a comet, I was wonder'd at : That men would tell their children, That is Tie; Others would say, Wliere ? which is Bolingbrohe f And then I stole all courtesy from heaven, And dress'd myself in such humility, That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts, Loud shouts and salutations from men's mouths, Even in the presence of the crowned king. Thus did I keep my person fresh and new ; My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen, but wonder'd at : and so my state, Seldom, but sumptuous, showed like a feast ; And won, by rareness, such solemnity. The skipping king, he ambled up and down, With shallow jesters, and rash bavin wits, Soon kindled, and soon burn'd : carded hiB state ; Mingled his royalty with carping fools ; Had his great name profaned with his scorns ; And gave his countenance, against his name.. 289 2s pop gjfttfoBpwi ttg tiitthutq. pop POPULARITY,— continued.

Sometimes she gallops o'er a courtier's nose, And then dreams he of smelling out a suit : And sometimea comes she with a tithe-pig's tail, Tickling a parson's nose as he lies asleep, Then dreams he of another benefice : Sometimes she driveth o'er a soldier's neck, And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats, Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades, Of healths five fathom deep ;' and then anon Drums in his ear ; at which he starts, and wakes ; And, being thus frighted, swears a prayer or two, And sleeps again.

The second property of your excellent sherris is, — the warming of the blood ; which, before cold, and settled, left the liver white and' pale, which is the badge of pusillanimity and cowardice ; but the sherris warms it, and makes it course from the inwards to the parts extreme. It illuminateth the face ; which, as a beacon, gives warning to all the rest of this little kingdom, man, to arm : and then the vital com- moners, and inland petty spirits muster me all to their cap- tain, the heart ; who, great, and puffed up with this retinue, doth any deed of courage ; and this valour comes of sher- ris : So that skill in the weapon is nothing, without sack ; for that sets it a-work : and learning, a mere hoard of gold, kept by a devil ; till sack commences it, and sets it in act and use. Hereof comes it, that prince Harry is valiant : for the cold blood he did naturally inherit of his father, he hath, like lean, steril, and bare land, manured, husbanded, and "tilled, with excellent endeavour of drinking good, and good store of fertile sherris; that he is become very hot, and valiant.

She bids you Upon the wanton rushes lay you down, And rest your gentle head upon her lap, And she will sing the song that pleasetn you, And on your eye-lids crown the god of sleep, Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness, Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep, As is the difference betwixt day and night, The hour before the heavenly-harnessed team Begins his golden progress in the east.

Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours ; Be now the father, and propose a son : Hear your own dignity so much pro fan' d ; See your most dreadful laws so loosely slighted, Behold yourself so by a son disdain' d ; And then imagine me taking your part, And, in your power, soft silencing your son.

To die ;— to sleep ; — 359 sui iljabspitriittt ©irtlnuartj, sm SUICIDE,— continued. To sleep ! perchance to dream ; ay, there's the rub : For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause : there's the respect, That makes calamity of so long life : For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin ? Who would fardels bear, To groan and sweat under a weary life ; But that the dread of something after death,— That undiscover'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, — puzzles the will ; And makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others, that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all ; And thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought ; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. H. iii. 1 Even by the rule of that philosophy, By which I did blame Cato for the death Which he did give himself: — I know not how, But I do find it cowardly and vile, For fear of what might fall, so to prevent The time of life : — arming myself with patience, To stay the providence of some high powers, That govern us below. /.

Now, by two-headed Janus, Nature hath form'd strange fellows in her time : Some that will evermore peep through their eyes, And laugh, like parrots, at a bagpiper ; And other of such vinegar aspect, That they'll not show their teeth in way of smile, Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable.

M. ii. 3. The wrathful skies Gallow the very wanderers of the dark, And make them keep their caves: since I was man, Such sheets of fire, such bursts of horrid thunder, Such groans of roaring wind and rain, I never Remember to have heard. K. L. iii. 2. Flam'd amazement. T. i. 2. For do but stand upon the foaming shore, The chiding billows seem to pelt the clouds ; The wind-shak'd surge, with high, and monstrous main, Seems to cast water on the burning bear, And quench the guards of the ever-fixed pole : I never did like molestation view, On the enchafed flood. 0. ii. 1. The fire, and cracks Of sulphurous roaring, the most mighty Neptune Seem'd to besiege, and make his bold waves tremble, Yea, his dread trident shake. T. i. 2.

Cicero 1 I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds Have riv'd the knotty oaks ; and I have seen Th' ambitious ocean swell, and rage, and foam, To be exalted with the threatening clouds ; But never till to night, never till now, Did I go through a tempest dropping fire. Either there is a civil strife in heaven ; Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, Incenses them to send destruction. J. C. i. 3. I have seen two such sights, by sea, and by land ; — but I am not to say, it is a sea, for it is now the sky ; betwixt the firmament and it, you cannot thrust a bodkin's point. W.

Close pent-up guilts, Rive your concealing continen cs, and cry These dreadful summoners grace. I am a man, More sinn'd against than sinning. K. L. iii. 2. TEMPTATION. There lurks a still and dumb-discoursive devil, That tempts most cunningly. T. C. iv. 4. 'Tis one thing to be tempted, Escalus, Another thing to fall. M. M. ii. 1. Most dangerous Is that temptation, that doth goad us on To sin in loving virtue. M. M. ii. 2 Let but your honour know, (Whom I believe to be most straight in virtue) That, in the workings of your own affections, Had time coher'd with place, or place with wishing, Or that the resolute acting of your blood Could have attain'd th' effect of your own purpose, Whether you had not sometime in your life Err'd in this point, which now you censure him, And pulPd the law upon you. M. M. ii. 1. I am that way going to temptation, Where prayers cross. M. M. ii. 2. Sometimes we. are devils to ourselves, When we will tempt the frailty of our powers, Presuming on their changeful potency. T. G, iv. 4. TERROR. Alas ! how is't with you ? That you do bend your eye on vacancy, And with the incorporal air do hold discourse? Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep, And, as the sleeping soldiers in the alarm, Your bedded hair, like life in excrements, Starts up, and stands on end.

Often good turns Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay : But, were my worth, as is my conscience, firm, Sou should find better dealing. T. N. iii. 3.

He ambles with a priest that lacks Latin, and a rich man that hath not the gout: for the one sleeps easily, because he cannot study ; and the other lives merrily, because he feels no pain : the one lacking the burden of lean and wasteful learning ; the other knowing no burden of heavy tedious penury: These time ambles withal. He trots hard with a young maid, between the contract of her marriage, and the day it is solemnized : if the interim be but a so'nnight, time's pace is so hard, that it seems the length of seven years. He gallops with a thief to the gallows : for though he goes as softly as foot can fall, he thinks himself too soon there. He stays still with lawyers in the vacation : for they sleep between term and term, and then they perceive not how time moves. A. Y. iii 2.

For what is he they follow ? truly, gentlemen, A bloody tyrant, and a homicide ; One rais'd in blood, and one in blood establish'd ; One that made means to come by what he hath, And slaughter'd those that were the means to help him ; A base foul stone, made precious by the foil Of England's chair, where he is falsely set, One that hath ever been God's ^nemy : Then, if you fight against God's enemy, God will, in justice, ward you as his soldiers. R. III. v. 3.

He's truly valiant, that can wisely suffer The worst that man can breathe ; and make his wrongs His outsides; wear them, like his raiment, carelessly; And ne'er prefer his injuries to his heart, To bring it into danger.

T.O. ii. 2 But value dwells not in particular will ; It holds his estimate and dignity As well wherein 'tis precious of itself As in the prizer : 'tis mad idolatry, To make the service greater than "the god ; And the will dotes, that is attributive To what infectiously itself affects, Without some image of the affected merit.

Let it not disgrace me, If I demand, before this royal view, What rub, or what impediment, there is, Why that the naked, poor, and mangled peace, Dear.nurse of arts, plenties, and joyful births, Should not, in this best garden of the world, Our fertile France, put up her lovely visage ? Mas ! she hath from France too long been chas'd • And all her husbandry doth lie on heaps, Corrupting in its own fertility. Her vine, the merry cheerer of the heart, Unpruned, dies : her hedges even-pleach'd, — Like prisoners wildly overgrown with hair, Put forth disorder'd twigs : her fallow leas The darnel, hemlock, and rank fumitory, Doth root upon ; while that the coulter rusts, That should deracinate such savagery: The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover, Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank, Conceives by idleness ; and nothing teems, But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burs, Losing both beauty and utility. And as our vineyards, fallows, meads, and hedges, Defective in their natures, grow to wildness ; Even so our houses, and ourselves, and children, Have lost, or do not learn, for want of time, The sciences that should become our country ; But grow, like savages, — as soldiers will, That nothing do but meditate on blood, — To swearing, and stern looks, dinus'd attire, And every thing that seems unnatural.

T. S. v. 2. Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, Thy head, thy sovereign ; one that cares for thee And for thy maintenance : commits his body To painful lab) ^r, both by sea and land ; To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, While thou liest warm at home, secure and safe ; And craves no other tribute at thy hands, But love, fair looks, and true obedience. T. S. v. 2.

Let husbands know, Their wives have sense like them : they see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have. What is it that they do, When they change us for others ? Is it sport ? I think it is : And doth affection breed it ? I think it doth ; Is't frailty, that thus errs ? It is so too : And have not we affections ? Desires for sport ? and frailty, as men have ?

L. L. v. 2. WITCHES. What are these, So wither'd, and so wild in their attire, That look not like the inhabitants o' the earth, And yet are on't? Live you? or are you aught That man may question ?

M. i. 3 I c6njure you, by that which you profess, (Howe'er you come to know it,) answer me : Though you untie the winds, and let them fight Against the churches ; though the yesty waves Confound and swallow navigation up ; Though bladed corn be lodg'd, and trees blown down ; Though castles topple on their warder's heads ; Though palaces, and pyramids, do slope Their heads to their foundations ; though the treasure Of nature's germins tumble altogether, Ev'n till destruction sicken, — answer me To what I ask.

You are meek and humble mouth' d ; You sign your place, and calling, in full seeming, With meekness and humility : but your heart Is cramn'd with arrogancy, spleen, and pride. You have, by fortune, ana his highness' favours, Gone slightly o'er low steps ; and now are mounted, Where powers are your retainers ; and your words (Domestics to you) serve your will as't please Yourself pronounce their office. I must tell you, You tender more your person's honour, than Your high profession spiritual. H. VIII. ii. 4. He was a man Of an unbounded stomach, ever ranking Himself with princes : one, that by suggestion Tied all the kingdom : simony was fair play ; His own opinion was his law : I' the presence He would say untruths ; and be ever double, Both in his words and meaning : He was never (But where he meant to ruin) pitful: His promises were, as he then was, mighty ; But his Derformance, as he is now, nothing. Of his own body he was ill, and gave The clergy ill example. H. VHI Ir. 2. This cardinal, Though from an humble stock, undoubtedly Was fashion'd to much honour. From his cradle He was a scholar, and a ripe, and good one; Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading : Lofty, and sour, to them that lov'd him not; But, to those men that sought him, sweet as summer: And though he were unsatisfied in getting, (Which was a sin,) yet, in bestowing, Madam, He was most princely. Ever witness for him Those twins of learning, that ) e rais'd in you, Ipswich, and Oxford : one of v aich fell with bim. Unwilling to outlive the good that did it. The other, though unfinish'd, yet so famous, So excellent in art, and still so rising, That Christendom shall ever speak his virtue. His overthrow heap'd happiness upon him ; For then, and not till then, he felt himself, And found the blessedness of being little *. no wol lijatajmnau ©irlinnxirtj. wom WOLSEY,— continued.

Bring in the admiration ; that we with thee May spend our wonder too, or take off thine, By wond'ring how thou took'st it. A. W. ii. 1. W°OING, Wedding, and Repenting. Wooing, wedding, and repenting, are as a Scotch jig, a measure, and a cinque pace : the first suit is hot and hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full* as fantastical ; the wedding, mannerly modest, as a measure full of state and ancientry ; and then comes repentance, and, with his bad legs, falls into the cinque-pace faster and faster, till he sink into his grave. M. A. ii. 1. WORDS (See also Verbosity). A fine volley of words, gentlemen, and quickly shot off. T.O. ii. 4. And tire the hearer with a book of words. M. A. i. 1. Good words are better than bad strokes. J. C. v. 1 . You have an exchequer of words, and, I think, no other treasure to give your followers ; for it appears by their bare liveries, that they live by your bare words. T. G. ii. 4.

All the world's a stage, And all the men »*m! women, merely players : They have their »xits and their entrances ; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts beiDg seven ages. At first, the infant ; Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms : Aud then, the whining school-boy, with his satchel, And shining morning face, creeping, like snail, Unwillingly to school : And then, the lover ; Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eye-brow : Then, a soldier ; Pull of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Ev'n in the cannon's mouth : And then, the justice • In fair round belly, with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws, and modern instances, And so he plays his part : The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon ; With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side ; His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, Turning again towards childish treble, pipes And whistles in the sound : Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness, and mere oblivion ; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.
