PREFACE. 
 
 In presenting this book to the public I feel impelled to state somewhat specific- 
 ally the object I had in view in its compilation. I do not lay claim to superhuman 
 disinterestedness. lago's advice to Koderigo, "put money in thy purse," is by no 
 means in my opinion a soul-damning heresy ; I should only be too glad if this vent- 
 ure enabled me to act upon the wily "Venetian's advice with unaccustomed frequency. 
 But if the hope of pecuniary gain had been the controlling motive the book to which 
 the labor of so many years has been devoted would never have been put in type. 
 
 The book was begun as an aid in lecturing to a college class on English literature. 
 Its growth, and its obviously increasing value as it grew, suggested that it might perhaps 
 be as useful to others as I had found it to be to myself. 
 
 I make no claim to being a critic of the great author whose words I have so often 
 "rolled as a sweet morsel under my tongue;" nor do I make any pretension to be 
 able to determine ex cathedra any questions of texts, or the value of various read- 
 ings. In no sense do I aspire to belong to the illustrious guild of Shakespearean 
 scholars. Antony's friend Ventidius never spoke more wisely than when he said, — 
 
 " Better leave undone than by our deed acquire 
 Too high a fame."— ^. C, III : 1. 
 
 Hence this disclaimer. I have simply endeavored, as a plain man in a plain way, to 
 put the thoughts of Shakespeare at the command of every ordinary English reader. 
 
 In determining what portions of our great author were unsuitable for my purpose I 
 had, of course, to take my own judgment as my exclusive guide. My English origin 
 and training may have made me less fastidious than I otherwise might have been. 
 Others doubtless could have done much better, but I have done the best I could. If 
 I am only the means of making the best of Shakespeare's sayings more generally 
 " household words " I shall have achieved one of the great objects at which I aimed. 
 
 I beg the indulgence of Shakespearean critics in the matter of my sub-headings. 
 They are not intended as comments on the meaning of the poet, or as in any sense fixing 
 the specific meaning of the passages to which they are attached ; they are only designed 
 to be aids in finding any desired passage. Of course a concordance would eflfect this 
 with even greater certainty, but where there is one reader with a concordance there 
 are thousands without. To sum up what I wish to say in this connection, I have not 
 aspired to be regarded as an acute critic, nor an erudite commentator ; all my ambition 
 has been to be recognized as a painstaking and reliable compiler. 
 
 I commenced my work with Boydell's sumptuous folios before me. I soon found 
 that this edition was too great a rarity for popular use ; I therefore laid my work 
 
VI 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 aside, and began anew. In selecting the edition to which finally I have made refer- 
 ence for the verification of the quotations given I was not influenced by the convic- 
 tion that it was the best to be secured; I am convinced that there are many equally 
 good, and some that are incomparably better. The editions of Richard Grant White, 
 Hudson, liolfe, and especially Furness's New Variorum, are an honor to American 
 scholarship, and entitle these erudite men to high literary fame. These editions, how- 
 ever, are either only published in part, or are confined to the libraries of scholarly 
 men ; I selected tlierefore an edition more generally at the command of ordinary 
 readers. 
 
 I have taken the greatest possible precaution against errors ; some have, however, 
 doubtless crept in. The last revision of the electrotyped plates revealed a few that had 
 escaped the previous revisions. These have all been carefully corrected, and as new 
 editions may be demanded the work of correction will still go on. In this I hope to 
 be assisted by the suggestions of every lover of literature into whose hands the book 
 may fall. 
 
 To facilitate the finding of certain passages they have, in some cases, been repeated 
 under synonymical headings ; in a very few instances they have been even re-repeated. 
 This, however, instead of being a blemish may be regarded as making the book the 
 more valuable. 
 
 To secure typographical accuracy the proof has not only been repeatedly read by 
 myself, but it has also been subjected to a careful revision by the Eev. Edward A. Man- 
 ning, whose long practice as a proof reader entitles him to be regarded as a trustworthy 
 expert. I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to this kind and painstaking 
 gentleman. 
 
 Inviting a manly criticism, and trusting implicitly to the generous treatment of all 
 true litterateurs, I cast my Shakespearean bread upon the waters, convinced that, 
 however imperfectly my work may have been done, the text of my great author will 
 illume the pathway and quicken the intellectual life of all to whom its precious treas- 
 ures may come. 
 
 Ulyss. * * "No man is the lord of anything, 
 
 (Though in and of him there be much consisting,) 
 
 Till he communicate his parts to others : 
 
 Nor doth he of himself know them for aught 
 
 Till he behold them form'd in the applause 
 
 Where they are extended; which, like an arch, reverberates 
 
 The voice again; or, like a gate of steel 
 
 Fronting the sun, receives and renders back 
 
 His figure and his heat." — T. C, III: 3.

PREFACE TO NEW EDITION. 
 
 o>as<o 
 
 The kind and even flattering reception which has been accorded to the first edition of 
 this work, by distinguished and scholarly men, has been an agreeable surprise to the 
 compiler, who begs that this preface may be regarded as a grateful recognition of the 
 same. That the volume would prove an acceptable addition to the library of the student 
 its author never doubted ; but that it should be received with a cordiality bordering on 
 enthusiasm was as unexpected to him, as it was gratifying. It is seldom that a new 
 edition of so large a work is so soon demanded. Four months, however, had not passed 
 after the first edition was issued, before a new and larger edition was called for. 
 
 That there should have been in the first issue some typographical errors was in- 
 evitable. They have, however, proved to be but few, and, as far as they have been 
 discovered, corrections have been made.^ The mechanical execution has been greatly 
 improved. Valuable addenda have also been made, including an Index to the inferior 
 cliaracters, as well as to some of the principal characters heretofore omitted. With 
 the hope that it may become a standard in all our institutions of learning, a solace 
 and an inspiration to every family in the land, "The Student's Shakespeare" is again 
 commended to the courtesy of all admirers of tlie great poet, and to the daily perusal 
 of all who aspire to be great by being familiar with the good and the true. 
 
 " Bass. In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, 
 I shot his fellow of the self-same flight. 
 The self-same way, with more advised watch." — M. F. , 1 : 1. 
 
 HENRY J. FOX. 
 
 1 For the most important of these corrections I would here acknowledge my great indebtedness to 
 William J. Rolfe, Esq., the distinguished Shakespearian scholar, of Cambridge, Mass., and the Rev. Alfred 
 A. Wright, of Lynn.

 speaker, 
 To nature none more bound; his training

 That he may furnish and instruct great 
 
 teachers. 
 And never seek for aid out of himself. 
 Yet see 
 
 When these so noble benefits shall prove 
 Not well dispos'd, the mind growing once 
 
 corrupt. 
 They turn to vicious forms, ten times more 
 
 ugly 
 Than ever they were fair. This man so

 Almost with ravish'd list'ning, could not

 ACCESSORIES. — Cheated of their

 Buck. My lord, I claim the gift, my due 
 by promise, 
 For which your honour and your faith is 
 
 pawn'd ; 
 The earldom of Hereford, and the movables. 
 Which you have promised I shall possess. 
 K. Rich. Stanley, look to your wife ; if 
 she convey 
 Letters to Eichmond, you shall answer it. 
 Buck. What says your highness to my 
 
 just request? 
 K. Rich. I do remember me, — Henry 
 the Sixth 
 Did prophesy, that Eichmond should be 
 
 king. 
 When Eichmond was a little peevish boy. 
 
 A king ! — perhaps 
 
 Buck. My lord, 
 
 K. Rich. How chance, the prophet could 
 not at that .time, 
 Have told me, I being by, that I should kill 
 him? 
 Buck. My lord, your promise for the 
 
 earldom. — 
 K. Rich. Eichmond ! — When last I was 
 at Exeter, 
 The mayor in courtesy show'd me the castle. 
 And call'd it — ^^Eouge-mont : at which name, 
 I started ; 
 
 Because a bard of Ireland told me once, 
 I should not live long after I saw Eichmond. 
 
 Buck. My lord, 
 
 K. Rich. Ay, what 's o'clock? 
 Buck. I am thus bold 
 
 To put your grace in mind of what you 
 promis'd me. 
 K. Rich. Well, but what is 't o'clock? 
 Buck. Upon the stroke 
 
 Often. 
 
 K. Rich. Well, let it strike. 
 Buck. Why let it strike? 
 
 K. Rich. Because that, like a Jack, thou 
 keep'st the stroke 
 Betwixt thy begging and my meditation. 
 I am not in the giving vein to-day. 
 
 Buck. Why, then resolve me whe'r you 
 
 will, or no. 
 K. Rich. Thou troublest me ; I am not 
 
 in the vein. 
 Buck. And is it thus? repays he my deep 
 service 
 With such contempt? made I him king for 
 
 this? 
 O, let me think on Hastings ; and be gone 
 To Brecknock, while my fearful head is on. 
 B. III., IV : 2. 1032. 
 
 ACCOMPLICE.— To be put out of the 
 ■way. 
 
 Wor. And 't is no little reason bids us 
 speed, 
 To save our heads by raising of a head : 
 For, bear ourselves as even as we can. 
 The king will always think him in our debt ; 
 And think we think ourselves unsatisfied, 
 Till he hath found a time to pay us home. 
 And see already, iiow he doth begin 
 To make us strangers to his looks of love. 
 H. IV; 1 pt., 1 : 3. 733. 
 
 ACCOMPLICES.— Their Danger. 
 
 Hot. Nay, then I cannot blame his cousin 
 
 king, 
 That wish'd him on the barren mountains 
 
 starv'd. 
 But shall it be, that you, — that set the 
 
 crown 
 Upon the head of this forgetful man ; 
 And, for his sake, wear the detested blot 
 Of murd'rous subordination, — shall it be, 
 That you a world of curses undergo : 
 
ACCOMPLICES. 
 
 ACCUSATION. 
 
 Being the agents, or base second means, 
 The cords, the ladder, or the hangman 
 
 rather? — 
 0, pardon me, that I descend so low. 
 To show the line, and the predicament. 
 Wherein you range under tliis subtle king. — 
 Shall it, for shame, be spoken in these days. 
 Or fill up chronicles in time to come, 
 That men of your nobility and power, 
 Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, — 
 As both of you, God pardon it ! have done, — 
 To put down Ricliard, that sweet lovely rose, 
 And plant this thorn, this canker, Boling- 
 
 broke?

 ACCOMPLISHMENTS. — Pretension 
 to High. 
 
 King. Aye, that there is : our court, you 
 
 know, is haunted 
 With a refined traveller of Spain ; 
 A man in all the world's new fashion planted. 
 That hath a mint of phrases in his brain : 
 One who the music of his own vain tongue 
 
 Doth ravish, like enchanting harmony ; 
 A man of complements, whom right and 
 wrong 
 Hath chose as umpire of their mutiny : 
 This cliild of fancy, that Armado hight, 
 , For interim to our studies, shall relate, 
 In high-born words, the worth of many a 
 knight 
 Prom tawny Spain, lost in the world's 
 debate. 
 How you delight, my lords, I know not, I ; 
 
 But, I protest, I love to hear him lie. 
 And I will use him for my minstrelsy.

 Hor. Alas, my lord, hang me, if ever I 
 spake the ivords. My accuser is my 'pren- 
 tice ; and when I did correct him for his 
 fault the other day, he did vow upon his 
 knees he would be even with me : I have 
 good witness of this ; therefore, I beseech 
 your majesty, do not cast away an honest 
 man for a villain's accusation.

 farewell ! 
 Thou pure impiety, and impious purity ; 
 Por thee I '11 lock up all the gates of love. 
 And on my eyelids shall conjecture hang. 
 To turn all beauty into thoughts of harm. 
 And never shall it more be gracious.

 ed, so has my husband, man by man, boy 
 by boy, servant by servant : the tithe of a

 shaved, and lost many a hair : and I '11 be

 are a woman, go. 
 
 Host. Who I ? I defy thee : I was never 
 called so in mine own house before. 
 
 Fal. Go to, I know you well enough. 
 
 Host. No, sir John; you do not know 
 me, sir John : I know you, sir John : you 
 owe me money, sir John, and now you pick 
 a quarrel to beguile me of it : I bought you 
 a dozen of shirts to your back. 
 
 Fal. Dowlas, filthy dowlas : I have given 
 them away to bakers' wives, and they have 
 made bolters of them. 
 
 Host. Now, as I am a true woman, hol- 
 land of eight shillings an ell. Yon owe 
 money here besides, sir John, for your diet, 
 and by-drinkings, and money lent you, four- 
 and-twenty pound. 
 
 Fal. He had his part of it ; let him pay. 
 
 Host. He? alas, he is poor; he hath no- 
 thing. 
 
 Fal. How ! poor? look upon his face : 
 What call you rich? let them coin his nose, 
 let them coin his cheeks ; I '11 not pay a 
 denier. What, will you make a younker of 
 me? shall I not take mine ease in mine inn, • 
 but I shall have my pocket picked? I have 
 lost a seal-ring of my grandfather's, worth 
 forty mark. 
 
 Host. O Jesu ! I have heard the prince 
 tell him, I know not how oft, that that ring 
 was copper.

 him like a dog, if he would say so.

 As ever in ambitious strength I did 
 Contend against thy valour. Know thou

 I loved the maid I married ; never man 
 Sigli'd truer breath; but that I see thee

 — Hamlet's, to the Players. 
 
 Ham. Speak the speech, I pray you, as 
 I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the 
 tongue : but if you mouth it, as many of our 
 players do, I had as lief the town-crier 
 spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too 
 much with your hand, thus ; but use all 
 gently : for in the very torrent, tempest, and 
 (as I may say) whirlwind of passion, you 
 must acquire and beget a temperance, that 
 may give it smoothness. O, it offends me 
 to the soul, to hear a robustious periwig- 
 pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very 
 rags, to split the ears of the groundlings ; 
 who, for the most part, are capable of noth- 
 ing but inexplicable dumb shows, and noise : 
 I would have such a fellow whipped for o'er- 
 doing Termagant ; it out-herods Herod : 
 pray you, avoid it. 
 
 1 Play. I warrant your honour. 
 
 Ham. Be not too tame neither; but let 
 your own discretion be your tutor : suit 
 the action to the word, the word to the 
 action ; with this special observance, that 
 you o'erstep not the modesty of nature : for 
 anything so overdone is from the purpose of 
 playing, whose end, both at the first, and 
 now, was, and is, to hold, as 't were, the 
 mirror up to nature; to show virtue her 
 own feature, scorn her own image, and the 
 very age and body of the time, his form and 
 pressure. Now, this overdone, or come 
 tardy off, though it make the unskilful 
 laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve ; 
 the censure of which one, must in your

 seen play, — and heard others praise, and that 
 highly, — not to spe^c it profanely, that, 
 neither having the accent of christians, nor 
 the gait of christians, pagan, nor man, have 
 so strutted and bellowed, that I have thought 
 some of nature's journeymen had made 
 men, and not made them well, they imitated 
 humanity so abominable.

 — Polonius' to his Son. 
 
 Pol. * * 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 entertain- 
 ment 
 Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. 
 
 Beware 
 Of entrance to a quarrel : but, being in. 
 Bear it that the opposed may beware of thee. 
 Give every 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 ; 
 And they in France, of the best rank and 
 
 station. 
 Are of a most select and generous choice in 
 
 that. 
 Neither a borrower, nor a lender be ; 
 For a loan oft loses both itself and friend ; 
 And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. 
 This above all, — To thine ownself be true ; 
 And it must follow, as the night tlie day. 
 Thou canst not then be false to any man. 
 Farewell ; my blessing season this in thee !

 ADVISERS.— Bad, Reproached. 
 
 Baling. I will unfold some causes of 
 your deaths. 
 
 You have misled a prince, a royal king, 
 
 A happy gentleman in blood and linea- 
 ments, 
 
 By you unhappied and disfigur'd clean. 
 
 You have, in manner, with your sinful 
 hours. 
 
 Made a divorce betwixt his queen and him ; 
 
 Broke the possession of a royal bed, 
 
 And stain'd the beauty of a fair queen's 
 
 cheeks 
 With tears drawn from her eyes by your 
 
 foul wrongs. 
 Myself — a prince, by fortune of my birth ; 
 Near to the king in blood ; and near in love. 
 Till you did make him misinterpret me, — 
 Have stoop'd my neck under your injuries, 
 And sigh'd my English breath in foreign 
 
 clouds. 
 Eating the bitter bread of banishment : 
 Whilst you have fed upon my signories, 
 Dispark'd my parks, and feli'd my forest 
 
 woods. 
 From mine own windows torn my household 
 
 coat, 
 Raz'd out my impress, leaving me no sign, — 
 Save men's opinions, and my living blood, — 
 To show the world I am a gentleman. 
 This, and much more, much more than 
 
 twice all this. 
 Condemns you to the death.

 Unless abroad they purchase great alliance? 
 To prove him tyrant, this reason may suffice. 
 That Henry liveth still : but were he dead. 
 Yet here prince Edward stands, king Henry's 
 
 son. 
 Look therefore, Lewis, that by this league 
 
 and marriage 
 Thou draw not on thy danger and dis-

 For though usurpers sway the rule awhile. 
 Yet heavens are just, and time suppresseth

 Or bid me go into a new-made grave.

 Thou hast stol'n that, which, after some few

 death, 
 Thou hast seal'd up my expectation : 
 Thy life did manifest, thou lov'dst me not, 
 And thou wilt have me die assured of it. 
 Thou hid'st a thousand daggers in thy

 Which thou hast whetted on thy stony heart. 
 To stab at half an hour of my life. 
 What ! canst thou not forbear me half an

 Then get thee gone ; and dig my grave thy-

 And bid the merry bells ring to thine ear, 
 Tliat thou art crowned, not that I am dead. 
 Let all the tears that should bedew my

 Be drops of balm, to sanctify thy head : 
 Only compound me with forgotten dust ; 
 Give that, which gave thee life, unto the

 APPAREL. — Petrucio's Wonderful. 
 
 Bion. Why, Petrucio is coming, in a new 
 hat and an old jerliin ; a j^air of old breeches 
 thrice turn'd ; a pair of boots that have been 
 candle-cases, one buckled, another lac'd; 
 an old rusty sword ta'en out of the town 
 armoury, with a broken hilt, and chapeless ; 
 with two broken points : his horse hipp'd 
 with an old mothy saddle, and stirrups of no 
 kindred : besides, possessed with the gland- 
 ers, and like to mose in the chine ; troubled 
 with the lam.pass, infected with the fashions, 
 full of windgalls, sped with spavins, raied 
 with the yellows, past cure of the fives, 
 stark spoil'd with the staggers,' begnawn 
 with the bots ; sway'd in the back, and 
 shoulder-sliotten ; ne'er legged before ; and 
 with a half-checked bit, and a head-stall of 
 sheep's leather, which, being restrain'd to 
 keep him from stumbling, hath been often 
 burst, and now repaired with knots ; one 
 girth six times piec'd, and a woman's crup- 
 per of velure, Mdiich hath two letters for her 
 name, fairly set down in studs, and here 
 and there piec'd M'ith packthread.

 caparison'd like the horse ; witli a linen

 an old hat, and "The humour of forty

 APPEAL. — Queen Katharine's. 
 
 Q. Kath. Sir, I desire you, do me right 
 and justice ; 
 And to bestow your pity on me : for 
 I am a most poor woman, and a stranger, 
 Born out of your dominions ; having here 
 No judge indifferent, nor no more assurance 
 Of equal friendship and proceeding. Alas, 
 
 sir. 
 In what have I oifended you? what cause 
 Hath my behaviour given to your displeas- 
 ure, 
 That thus you should proceed to put me off, 
 And take your good grace from me? Heav- 
 en witness, 
 I have been to you a true and humble wife. 
 At all times to your will conformable : 
 Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, 
 Yea, subject to j'our countenance ; glad, or 
 
 sorry 
 As I saw it inclin'd. AVhen was the hour, 
 I ever contradicted your desii-e. 
 
 Or made it not mine too? Or which of 
 
 your friends 
 Have I not strove to love, although I knew 
 He were mine enemy? what friend of mine 
 That had to him deriv'd your anger, did I 
 Continue in my liking? nay, gave notice 
 He v/as from thence discharg'd? Sir, call 
 
 to mind 
 That I have been your wife, in this obedi- 
 ence. 
 Upward of twenty years, and have been 
 
 blest 
 With many children by you : If, in the 
 
 course 
 And process of this time, you can report. 
 And prove it too, against mine honour 
 
 aught. 
 My bond to wedlock, or my love and duty, 
 Against your sacred person, in God's name. 
 Turn me away ; and let the foul'st contempt 
 Shut door upon me, and so give me up 
 To the sharpest kind of justice.

 There 's not a i^iece of feather in our host,

 And time hath worn us into slovenry : 
 But, by the mass, our hearts are in the trim : 
 And my poor soldiers tell me — yet ere

 They '11 be in fresher robes ; or they will

 And turn them out of service.

 The world is still deceiv'd with ornament. 
 In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt. 
 But, being season'd with a gracious voice. 
 Obscures the show of evil? In religion. 
 
 What damned error, but some sober brow 
 Yv^ill bless it, and approve it Avith a text. 
 Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? 
 There is no vice so simple, but assumes 
 Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. 
 How many cowards, whose hearts are all as 
 
 false 
 As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins 
 The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars, 
 Who, inward search'd, have livers white as 
 
 milk ! 
 And these assume but valour's excrement. 
 To render them redoubted ! Look on beauty, 
 And you shall see 't is purchas'd by the 
 
 weight ; 
 Which therein works a miracle in nature, 
 Making them lightest that wear most of it : 
 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 skull that bred them in the sepulchre. 
 Thus ornament is but the guiled shore 
 To a most dangerous sea ; the beauteous 
 
 scarf 
 Veiling an Indian beauty ; in a word. 
 The seeming truth which cunning times put 
 
 on 
 To entrap the wisest. Therefore, thou gau- 
 dy gold, 
 Hard food for Midas, I will none of thee : 
 Nor none of thee, thou pale and common 
 
 drudge 
 'Tween man and man. But thou, thou

 AVhich rather threat'nest than dost promise

 Thy paleness moves me more than elo-

 Fal. Not so, my lord; your ill angel is 
 light; but, I hope, he that looks upon me, 
 will take me without weighing : and yet, in 
 some respects, I grant, I cannot go, I can- 
 not tell : Virtue is of so little regard in 
 these costermonger times, that true valour 
 is turned bear-herd : Pregnancy is made a 
 tapster, and hath his quick wit wasted in 
 giving reckonings : all the other gifts apper- 
 tinent to man, as the malice of this age 
 shapes them, are not worth a gooseberry. 
 You, that are old, consider not the capaci- 
 ties of us that are young : you measure the 
 heat of our livers with the bitterness of j^our 
 galls : and we that are in the vaward of our 
 youth, I must confess, are Avags too.

 APPROPRIATION.— Of Glory of 
 
 Good Acts. 
 K. Hen. Things done well, 
 
 And with a care, exempt themselves from 
 
 fear ; 
 Things done without example, in their issue 
 Are to be fear'd. Have you a precedent 
 Of this commission? I believe, not any. 
 We must not rend our subjects from our 
 
 laws, 
 And stick them in our will. Sixth part of 
 
 each? 
 A trebling contribution. Why, we take. 
 From every tree, lop, bark, and part o' the

 The force of this commission.

 APOPLEXY.— Its Signs.

 APOTHECARY".— Person Described. 
 
 Rom. * * 
 I do remember an apothecary, — 
 And hereabouts he dwells, — whom late I 
 
 noted 
 In tatter'd weeds, with overwhelming brows, 
 Culling of simples ; meagre were his looks. 
 Sharp misery had worn him to the bones : 
 And in his needy shop a tortoise hung. 
 An alligator stufi'd, and other skins 
 Of ill-shap'd fishes ; and about his shelves 
 A beggarly account of empty boxes. 
 Green earthen pots, bladders, and musty 
 
 seeds. 
 Remnants of packthread, and old cakes of 
 
 roses 
 Were thinly scatter'd, to make up a show. 
 Noting this penury, to myself I said — 
 An if a man did need a poison now, 
 Whose sale is present death in Mantua, 
 Here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him.

 ARREST.— Not Desirable. 
 
 Lucio. If I could speak so wisely unde*- 
 an arrest, I would send for certain of my 
 creditors. And yet, to say the truth, I had 
 as lief have the foppery of freedom as the 
 morality of imprisonment.

 We come to speak with him : and you shall

 If you do say — we think him over-proud. 
 And under-honest ; in self-assumption great- 
 er, 
 Than in the note of judgment ; and worthier 
 
 than himself 
 Here tend the savage strangeness he i^uts on ; 
 Disguise the holy strength of their com- 
 mand. 
 And underwrite in an observing kind 
 His humorous predominance ; yea, watch 
 His pettish lunes, his ebbs, his flows, as if 
 The passage and whole carriage of this action 
 Rode on his tide. Go, tell him this ; and 
 
 add. 
 That, if he overbold his price so much, 
 We '11 none of him ; but let him like an 
 
 engine 
 Not portable, lie under this report — 
 Bring action hither, this cannot go to war : 
 A stirring dwarf we do allowance give 
 Before a sleeping giant.

 Yet, Stanley, notwithstanding she 's your

 And loves not me, be you, good lord, as-

 I hate not you for her proud arrogance. 
 Stan. I do beseech you, either not be- 
 lieve 
 The envious slanders of her false accusers ; 
 Or, if she be accus'd on true report, 
 Bear with her weakness, which, I think, 
 
 proceeds 
 From wayward sickness, and no grounded 
 
 malice.

 The bishop will be overborne by thee :

 To slay thy brother Abel, if thou wilt. 
 
 Glo. I will not slaj' thee, but I '11 drive 
 thee back : 
 Thy scarlet robes, as a child's bearing-cloth

 Win. Do what thou dar'st ; I beard thee

 Glo. "What? am I dar'd, and bearded to 
 my face? 
 Draw, men, for all this privileged place ; 
 Blue-coats to tawny-coats. Priest, beware 
 
 your beard ; 
 I mean to tug it, and to cuif you soundly : 
 Under my feet I stamp thy cardinal's hat ; 
 In spite of Pope or dignities of church. 
 Here by the cheeks I '11 drag thee up and

 And what was he ? 
 Forsooth, a great arithmetician,

 A fellow almost damn'd in a fair wife : 
 That never set a squadron in the field, 
 Nor the division of a battle knows 
 More than a spinster ; unless the bookish

 As masterly as he : mere prattle, without

 Puck. My mistress with a monster is in 
 
 love. 
 Near to her close and consecrated bower. 
 While she was in her dull and sleeping hour, 
 A crew of patches, rude mechanicals, 
 That work for bread upon Athenian stalls, 
 Were met together to rehearse a play, 
 Intended for great Theseus' nuptial day. 
 The shallowest thick-skin of that barren 
 
 sort. 
 Who Pyramus presented in their sport. 
 Forsook his scene, and enter'd in a brake. 
 When I did at him this advantage take. 
 An ass's nowl I fixed on his head ; 
 Anon, his Thisby must be answered, 
 And forth my mimic comes. When they 
 
 him spy. 
 As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye, 
 Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort, 
 Rising and cawing at the gun's report, 
 Sever themselves and madly sweep the sky ; 
 So, at his sight, away his fellows fly, 
 And, at our stamp, here o'er and o'er one 
 
 falls ; 
 He murder cries, and help from Athens calls. 
 Their sense thus weak, lost with their fears 
 
 thus strong.

 ATONEMENT. 
 
 Made senseless, things begin to do them 
 
 wrong ; 
 For briers and thorns at their apparel snatch ; 
 Some, sleeves ; some, hats ; from yielders 
 
 all things catch. 
 I led them on in this distracted fear, 
 And left sweet Pyramus translated there : 
 When in that moment (so it came to pass,) 
 Titania wak'd, and straightway lov'd an ass.

 I am not afraid.

 And dares not answer, nay — 
 
 for, indeed, who would set his wit to so fool- 
 ish a bird? who would give a bird the lie, 
 though he cry "Cuckoo" never so? 
 
 Tita. I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing 
 
 again : 
 Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note, 
 So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape ; 
 And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth 
 
 move me. 
 On the first view, to say, to swear, I love 
 
 thee. 
 
 Bot. Methinks, mistress, you should have 
 little reason for that : and yet, to say the 
 truth, reason and love keep little company 
 together now-a-days : the more the pity, that 
 some honest neighbours will not make them 
 friends. Nay, I can gleek upon occasion.

 tiful.

 My sceptre, for a palmer's walking-staff; 
 My subjects, for a pair of carved saints ; 
 And my large kingdom for a little grave, 
 A little, little grave, an obscure grave : — 
 Or I '11 be buried in the king's highway. 
 Some way of common trade, where subjects' 
 
 feet 
 May hourly trample on their sovereign's 
 
 head : 
 For on my heart they tread, now whilst I 
 
 live ; 
 And, buried once, why not upon my head? — 
 Aumerle, thou weep'st; My tender-hearted 
 
 cousin ! — 
 We '11 make foul weather with despised 
 
 tears ; 
 Our sighs, and they, shall lodge the summer 
 
 corn. 
 And make a dearth in this revolting land. 
 Or shall we play the wantons Avith our woes. 
 And make some pretty match with shedding 
 
 tears ? 
 As thus; — To drop them still upon one 
 
 place. 
 Till they have fretted us a pair of graves 
 Within the earth; and, therein laid, — 
 
 "There lies 
 Two kinsmen, digg'd their graves with 
 
 weeping eyes?"

 AVARICE.— A Stanchless. 
 
 Mai. With this, there grows, 
 
 In my most ill-composed affection, such 
 A stanchless avarice, that, were I king, 
 I should cut off the nobles for their lands ; 
 Desire his jewels, and this other's house : 
 And my more-having would be as a sauce 
 To make me hunger more ; that I should 
 
 forge 
 Quarrels unjust against the good, and loyal. 
 Destroying them for wealth. 
 
 Macd. This avarice 
 
 Sticks deeper ; grows with more pernicious 
 
 root 
 Than summer-seeding lust : and it hath been 
 The sword of our slain kings : Yet do not 
 
 fear; 
 Scotland hath foysons to fill up j^our will. 
 Of your mere own : All these are portable, 
 With other graces weigh'd.

 No news of them? — Why, so : — and I know 
 not what 's spent in the search : Why thou 
 loss upon loss ! the thief gone with so much, 
 and so much to find the thief; and no satis- 
 faction, no revenge : nor no ill luck stirring

 To wag their high tops, and to make no

 Till twice five summers have enrich'd our

 Shall not regreet our fair dominions, 
 But tread the stranger paths of banisli- 
 
 ment. 
 Boling. Your will be done : this must 
 
 my comfort be, — 
 That sun, that warms you here, shall shine 
 
 on me ; 
 And those his golden beams, to you here 
 
 lent. 
 Shall point on me, and gild my banishment. 
 K. Rich. Norfolk, for thee remains a 
 
 heavier doom, 
 Wliich I with some unwillingness pro- 
 nounce : 
 The fly-slow hours shall not determinate 
 The dateless limit of thy dear exile ; — 
 The hopeless word of — never to return. 
 Breathe I against thee, upon pain of life. 
 
 Nor. A heavy sentence, my most sove- 
 reign liege. 
 And all unlook'd for from your highness' 
 
 moutli : 
 A dearer merit, not so deep a maim 
 As to be cast forth in the common air. 
 Have I deserved at your highness' hand. 
 The language I have learn'd these forty 
 
 years, 
 My native English, now I must forego : 
 And now my tongue's use is to me no more 
 Than an unstringed viol or a harp ; 
 Or like a cunning instrument cas'd up. 
 Or, being open, put into his hands 
 That knows no touch to tune the harmony. 
 Within my mouth you have engaol'd my 
 
 tongue, 
 Doubly portcullis'd, with my teeth, and 
 
 lips ; 
 And dull, unfeeling, barren ignorance 
 Is made my gaoler to attend on me. 
 I am too old to fawn upon a nurse. 
 Too far in years to be a pupil now ; 
 What is thy sentence then, but speechless 
 
 death. 
 Which robs my tongue from breatliing native 
 breath ? 
 K. Rich. It boots thee not to be com- 
 passionate ; 
 After our sentence, plaining comes too late. 
 Nor. Then thus I turn me from my 
 country's light, 
 To dwell in solemn shades of endless night.

 Much more than death : do not say — banish-

 Fri. Hence from Verona art thou ban-

 Be patient, for the world is broad and wide. 
 Rom. There is no world without Verona 
 walls. 
 
 But purgatory, torture, hell itself. 
 
 Hence-banished is banisli'd from the world, 
 
 And world's exile is death: — then banisli-

 Thou cutt'st my head off with a golden axe,

 Fri. deadly sin ! rude unthankful- 
 
 ness ! 
 
 Thy fault our law calls death ; but the kind 
 
 prince, 
 Taking thy part, hath rush'd aside the law, 
 And turn'd that black word death to banish- 
 ment : 
 This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not. 
 Rom. 'T is torture, and not mercy : heav- 
 en is here. 
 Where Juliet lives ; and every cat, and dog. 
 And little mouse, every unworthy thing. 
 Live here in heaven, and may look on her, 
 But Eomeo may not. — More validity. 
 More honourable state, more courtship lives 
 In carrion flies, than Eomeo : they may seize 
 On the white wonder of dear Juliet's, hand, 
 And steal immortal blessing from her lips ; 
 Who, even in pure and vestal modesty, 
 Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin ; 
 But Eomeo may not ; he is banished : 
 Flies may do this, when I from this must 
 
 fly; 
 
 They are free men, but I am banished. 
 
 And say'st thou yet, that exile is not death? 
 
 Hadst thou no poison mix'd, no sharp- 
 ground knife, 
 
 No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so 
 mean, 
 
 But — banished — to kill me ; banished? 
 
 O friar, the damned use that word in hell ; 
 
 Howlings attend it : How hast thou the heart. 
 
 Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, 
 
 A sin-absolver, and my friend profess'd. 
 
 To mangle me with that word — banishment?

 A better speech was never spoke belore : 
 Another with his finger and his thumb, 
 Cry'd, " Via ! we will do 't, come M'hat will 
 
 come : " 
 
 The third he caper'd, and cried, "All goes 
 
 well'; " 
 The fourth turn'd on the toe, and down he 
 
 fell. 
 With that, they all did tumble on the ground. 
 With such a zealous laughter, so profound, 
 That in his spleen ridiculous appears. 
 To check their folly, passion's solemn tears.

 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.

 this is no time to lend money; especially 
 upon bare friendship, without security. 
 Here 's three solidares for thee : good boy, 
 wink at me, and say, thou saw'st me not. 
 Fare thee well. 
 
 Flam. Is 't possible, the world should so 
 much differ ; 
 
 And we alive that liv'd? Fly, damned base- 
 ness.

 Lucid. Ha! Now I see, thou art a fool, 
 
 and fit for thy master. 
 
 Flam. May these add to the number 
 that maj'- scald thee ! 
 
 Let molten coin be thy damnation, 
 
 Thou disease of a friend, and not himself! 
 
 Has friendship such a faint and milky heart. 
 
 It turns in less than two nights? O you 
 gods, 
 
 I feel my master's passion ! This slave 
 
 Unto his honour, has my lord's meat in 
 him : 
 
 Why should it thrive, and turn to nutri- 
 ment, 
 
 AVhen he is turn'd to poison? 
 
 O, may diseases only work upon 't ! 
 
 And, when he is sick to death, let not that 
 part of nature 
 
 Which my lord paid for, be of any power 
 
 To expel sickness, but prolong his hour !

 For such an end thou seek'st ; as base, as

 Thou wrong'st a gentleman, who is as far 
 From thy report, as thou from honour ; and 
 Solicit'st here a lady, that disdains 
 Thee and the devil alike. — What ho, 
 
 Pisanio ! — 
 The king my father shall be made ac- 
 quainted 
 Of thy assault-: if he shall think it fit, 
 A saucy stranger, in his court, to mart 
 As in a Romish stew, and to expound 
 His beastly mind to us ; he hath a court 
 He little cares for, and a daughter whom 
 He not respects at all.

 BEAUTY. 
 
 Be not offended, nature's miracle, 
 
 Thou art allotted to be ta'en by me : 
 
 So doth the swan her downy cygnets save, 
 
 Keeping them prisoners underneath her 
 
 wings. 
 Yet, if this servile usage once offend. 
 Go, and be free again as Suffolk's friend. 
 0, stay ! — I have no power to let her pass ; 
 My hand would free her, but my heart says 
 
 — no. 
 As plays the sun upon tbe glassy streams. 
 Twinkling another counterfeited beam. 
 So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes. 
 Fain would I woo her, yet I dare not speak : 
 I '11 call for pen and ink, and write my 
 
 mind : 
 Fie, De la Poole ! disable not thyself; 
 Hast not a tongue? is she not here thy pris- 
 oner? 
 Wilt thou be daunted at a woman's sight? 
 Ay; beauty's princely majesty is such. 
 Confounds the tongue, and makes the senses 
 rough.

 —Its Effect. 
 
 3 Qent. * * The rich stream 
 Of lords, and ladies, having brought the 
 
 queen 
 To a prepar'd place in the choir, fell off 
 A distance from her ; while her grace sat 
 
 down 
 To rest a while, some half an hour, or so, 
 In a rich chair of state, opposing freely 
 The beauty of her person to the people. 
 Believe me, sir, she is the goodliest woman 
 That ever lay by man : which when the 
 
 people 
 Had the full view of, such a noise arose 
 As the shrouds make at sea in a stiff tempest, 
 As loud, and to as many tunes : hats, cloaks, 
 (Doublets, I think) flew up : and had their 
 
 faces 
 Been loose, this day they had been lost. 
 
 Such joy 
 I never saw before.

 It carries a brave form : — ■ But 't is a spirit. 
 
 Pro. No, wench ; it eats, and sleeps, 
 
 and hath such senses 
 
 As we have, such. This gallant, which thou 
 
 seest. 
 Was in the wreck ; and but he 's something 
 
 stain'd 
 With grief, that 's beauty's canker, thou 
 
 mightst call hira 
 A goodly person. He hath lost his fellows. 
 And strays about to find them.

 A thing divine ; for nothing natural

 Cant. True : therefore doth

 The state of man in divers functions, 
 Setting endeavour in continual motion ; 
 To Avhich is fixed, as an aim or butt, 
 Obedience : for so work the honey bees ; 
 Creatures, that, by a rule in nature, teach 
 The act of order to a peopled kingdom. 
 They have a king, and oflficers 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.

 My lord of York, it better show'd with j'ou. 
 When that your flock, assembled by the

 Encircled you, to hear with reverence 
 Your exposition on the holy text : 
 Than now to see you here an iron man. 
 Cheering a rout of rebels with your drum. 
 
 Turning the word to sword, and life to 
 
 death. 
 That man, that sits within a monarch's 
 
 heart. 
 And ripens in the sunshine of his favour, 
 Would he abuse the countenance of the 
 
 king, 
 Alack, what mischiefs might he set abroach. 
 In shadow of such greatness ! With you, 
 
 lord bishop. 
 It is even so: — Who hath not heard it 
 
 spoken. 
 How deep you were within the books of 
 
 God? 
 To us, the speaker in his parliament ; 
 To us, the imagin'd voice of God himself; 
 The very opener, and intelligencer. 
 Between the grace, the sanctities of heaven. 
 And our dull workings : O, who shall be- 
 lieve. 
 But you misuse the reverence of your 
 
 place ; 
 Employ the countenance and grace of 
 
 heaven. 
 As a false favourite doth his prince's name, 
 In deeds dishonourable? You have taken 
 
 up. 
 Under the counterfeited zeal of God, 
 The subjects of his substitute, my father; 
 And, both against the peace of heaven and

 Have here up-swarm'd them.

 A thousand times more fair, ten thousand

 That only to stand high in your account, 
 I might in virtues, beauties, livings, friends. 
 Exceed account : but the full sum of me 
 Is sum of nothing; which, to term in gross. 
 Is an unlesson'd girl, unschool'd, unprac- 
 
 tis'd : 
 Happy in this, she is not yet so old 
 But she may learn ; happier than this. 
 She is not bred so dull but she can learn; 
 Happiest of all, in that her gentle s^jirit 
 Commits itself to yours to be directed. 
 As from her lord, her governor, her king. 
 Myself, and what is mine, to you and yours. 
 Is now converted : but now, I was the lord 
 Of this fair mansion, master of my servants. 
 Queen o'er myself; and even now, but now. 
 This house, these servants, and this same 
 
 myself. 
 Are yours, my lord : — I give them with this

 Which when you part from, lose, or give

 Let it presage the ruin of your love.

 I know a bank where the wild thyme blows. 
 
 Where ox-lips and the nodding violet grows ; 
 Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, 
 With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine ; 
 There sleeps Titania, some time of the night, 
 LuU'd in these flowers with dances and de- 
 light ; 
 And there the snake throws her enamell'd 
 
 skin. 
 Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in : 
 And with the juice of this I '11 streak her 
 
 eyes. 
 And make her full of hateful fantasies. 
 Take thou some of it, and seek through this 
 
 grove : 
 A sweet Athenian lady is in love 
 With a disdainful youth : anoint his eyes ; 
 But do it, when the next thing he espies 
 May be the lady ; Thou shalt know the man 
 By the Athenian garments he hath on. 
 Effect it with some care, that he may prove 
 More fond on her, than she upon her love.

 rant, you shall find, in the comparisons be- 
 tween Macedon and Monmouth, that the

 is a river in Macedon ; and there is also 
 moreover a river at Monmouth : it is called 
 Wye, at Monmouth ; but it is out of my 
 prains, what is the name of the other river ; 
 but 't is all one, 't is so like as my fingers is 
 to my fingers, and there is salmons in both. 
 If you mark Alexander's life well, Harry of 
 Monmouth's life is come after it indifferent 
 well ; for there is figures in all things. 
 Alexander (God knows, and you know,) in 
 his rages, and his furies, and his Avraths, 
 and his cholers, and his moods, and his dis- 
 pleasures, and his indignations, and also be- 
 ing a little intoxicates in his prains, did, in 
 his ales and his angers, look you, kill his 
 pest friend, Clytus. 
 
 Gow. Our king is not like him in that ; 
 he never killed any of his friends. 
 
 Flu. It is not well done, mark you know, 
 to take tales out of my mouth, ere it is made 
 an end and finished. I speak but in the 
 figures and comparisons of it : As Alexander 
 is kill his friend Clytus, being in his ales 
 and his cups ; so also Harry Monmouth, 
 being in his right wits and his good judg- 
 ments, is turn away the fat knight with the 
 great pelly-doublet : he was full of jests, 
 and gipes, and knaveries, and mocks ; I am

 Sluic'd out his innocent soul through streams

 Which blood, like sacrificing Abel's, cries.

 This arm shall do it, or this life be spent.

 BOYHOOD.— Innocence of. 
 
 JPol. We were as twinn'd lambs, that did 
 
 frisk i' the sun, 
 And bleat tlie one at th' other : What we 
 
 chang'd 
 Was innocence for innocence ; we knew not 
 The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dream'd 
 That any did : Had we pursu'd that life, 
 And our weak spirits ne'er been higher 
 
 rear'd 
 
 With stronger blood, we should have an- 
 
 swer'd Heaven 
 Boldly, "Not guilty ; " the imposition clear'd 
 Hereditary ours.

 But such a day to-morrow as to-day, 
 And to be boy eternal.

 An arm as big as thine? a heart as big? 
 Thy words, I grant, are bigger; for I wear

 old men are to this vice of lying ! This same 
 starved justice hath done nothing but prate 
 to me of the wildness of his youth, and the 
 feats he hath done about Turnbull-street; 
 and every third word a lie, duer paid to the 
 hearer than the Turk's tribute. I do re- 
 member him at Clement's-inn, like a man 
 made after supper of a cheese-paring : when 
 he was naked, he was, for all the world, like 
 a forked radish, with a liead fantastically 
 carved upon it with a knife : he was so for- 
 lorn, that his dimensions to any thick sight 
 were invisible : he was the very Genius of 
 famine ; yet lecherous as a monkey, and the 
 whores called him — mandrake: he came 
 ever in the rear-ward of the fashion ; and 
 sung those tunes to the over-scutched hus- 
 wives that he heard the carmen whistle, and 
 sware — they were his fancies, or his good- 
 nights. And now is this Vice's dagger be- 
 come a squire ; and talks as familiarly of 
 John of Gaunt, as if he had been sworn 
 brother to him : and I '11 be sworn he never 
 
 saw him but once in the Tilt-yard ; and then 
 he burst his head, for crowding among the 
 marshal's men. I saw it ; and told John of 
 Gaunt, he beat his own name : for you 
 might have truss'd him, and all his apparel, 
 into an eel-skin : the case of a treble haut- 
 boy was a mansion for him, a court; and 
 now has he lands and beeves. Well ; I will 
 be acquainted with him, if I return : and it 
 shall go hard, but I will make him a philos- 
 opher's two stones to me : If the young 
 dace be a bait for the old pike, I see no 
 reason, in the law of nature, but I may snap 
 at him. Let time shape, and there an end.

 How many of you have mine eyes beheld? 
 
 My husband lost his life to get the crown ; 
 
 And often up and down ray sons were tost, 
 
 Eor me to joy, and weep, their gain, and 
 loss ; 
 
 And being seated, and domestic broils 
 
 Clean over-blown, themselves, the con- 
 querors. 
 
 Make war upon themselves ; brother to 
 brother, 
 
 Blood to blood, self 'gainst self: — 0, pre- 
 posterous 
 
 And frantic courage, end thy damned spleen ; 
 
 Or let rue die, to look on death no more ! 
 
 R. III., 11: 4. 1019. 
 
 BROTHERHOOD.— Its Claims. 
 
 Duch. Finds brotherhood in thee no 
 
 sharper spur? 
 Hath love in thy old blood no living fire? 
 Edward's seven sons, whereof thyself art 
 
 one. 
 Were as seven phials of his sacred blood. 
 Or seven fair branches springing from one 
 
 root : 
 Some of those seven are dried by nature's 
 
 course, 
 Some of those branches by the destinies 
 
 cut : 
 But Thomas, my dear lord, my life, my 
 
 Gloster, — 
 One phial full of Edward's sacred blood. 
 One flourishing branch of his most royal 
 
 root, — 
 Is crack'd, and all the precious liquor spilt ; 
 Is hack'd down, and his summer leaves all 
 
 faded. 
 By envy's hand, and murder's bloody axe. 
 Ah, Gaunt ! his blood was thine ; that bed, 
 
 that womb. 
 That mettle, that self-mould, that fashion'd 
 
 thee. 
 
BROTHERHOOD. 
 
 63 
 
 BRUSQUENESS. 
 
 Made him a man ; and though thou liv'st 
 and breath'st, 
 
 Yet art thou slain in him : thou dost con- 
 sent 
 
 In some large measure to thy father's 
 death, 
 
 In that thou seest thy wretched brother die, 
 
 Who was the model of thy father's life. 
 
 Call it not patience. Gaunt, it is despair : 
 
 In suffering thus thy brother to be slaugh- 
 ter'd, 
 
 Thou show'st the naked pathway to thy life. 
 
 Teaching stern murder how to butcher thee : 
 
 That Avhich in mean men we entitle — 
 patience, 
 
 Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. 
 
 What shall I say? to safeguard thine own 
 life. 
 
 The best way is — to 'venge my Gloster's 
 
 death.

 BROTHERS.— All Should be. 
 
 A-TV. * * 
 
 Are we not brothers ? 
 
 Imo. So man and man should be ; 
 
 But clay and clay differs in dignity. 
 Whose dust is both alike. 
 
 Cym., IV : 2. 1614. 
 
 — Their Equality. 
 
 Orl. Ay, better than him I am before 
 knows me. I know you are my eldest 
 brother ; and, in the gentle condition of 
 blood, you should so know me. The court- 
 esy of nations allows you my better, in 
 that you are the first-born ; but the same 
 tradition takes not away my blood, were 
 there twenty brothers betwixt us. I have 
 as much of my father in me, as you ; albeit, 
 I confess, your coming before me is nearer 
 to his reverence. 
 
 A. r.,I: 1. 407. 
 
 BROW.— A Title Leaf. 
 
 North. Yea, this man's brow, like to a 
 title-leaf, 
 Foretels the nature of a tragic volume : 
 So looks the strand, whereon the imperious 
 flood 
 
 Hath left a witness'd usurpation. 
 
 R. IV., 2 pt., 1 : 1. 774. 
 
 — Right Arched. 
 
 Fal. * * Thou hast the right arched 
 beauty of the brow, that becomes the ship- 
 
 tire, the tire-valiant, or any tire of Venetian 
 admittance. 
 
 M. W., Ill : 3. 105. 
 
 BROWS.— Black. 
 
 Mam. Not for because 
 
 Your brows are blacker ; yet black brows, 
 
 they say, 
 Become some women best; so that there be 
 
 not 
 Too much hair there, but in a semicircle. 
 Or a half-moon made with a pen. 
 
 W. T., II : 1. 587. 
 
 BRUSQUENESS.— A Sauce to Good 
 Wit. 
 
 Bru. What a blunt fellow is this grown 
 
 to be! 
 He was quick mettle, when he went to 
 
 school. 
 Cas. So is he now, in execution 
 Of any bold or noble enterprise, 
 However he puts on this tardy form. 
 This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, 
 Which gives men stomach to digest his 
 
 Avords 
 
 With better appetite. 
 
 J. C, 1 : 2. 1326. 
 
 — Assumed by Craft. 
 
 Corn. This is some fellow. 
 
 Who, having been prais'd for bluntness, 
 
 doth affect 
 A saucy roughness ; and constrains the 
 
 garb. 
 Quite from his nature : He cannot flatter, 
 
 he! — 
 An honest mind and plain, — he must speak 
 
 truth : 
 An they will take it, so ; if not, he 's plain. 
 These kind of knaves I know, which in this 
 
 plainness 
 Harbour more craft, and more corrupter 
 
 ends, 
 Than twenty silly ducking observants, 
 That stretch their duties nicely. 
 
 K.L.,\\: 2. 1457. 
 
 — Lying, Defense of. 
 
 Glo. They do me wrong, and I will not 
 
 endure it : — 
 Who are they, that complain unto the king 
 That I, forsooth, am stern, and love them 
 
 not? 
 
BRUSQUENESS. 
 
 64 
 
 BUMMERS. 
 
 By holy Paul, they love his grace hut 
 
 lightly, 
 That fill his ears with such dissentious 
 
 rumours. 
 Because I cannot flatter, and speak fair, 
 Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and 
 
 cog. 
 Duck with Trench nods and apish courtesy, 
 I must be held a rancorous enemy. 
 Cannot a plain man live, and think no harm, 
 But thus his simple truth must be abus'd 
 By silken, sly, insinuating Jacks? 
 
 Grey, To whom in all this presence 
 
 speaks your grace? 
 Glo. To thee, that hast nor honesty, nor 
 
 grace. 
 "When have I injur'd thee? when done thee 
 
 wrong? — 
 Or thee? — or thee? — or any of your fac- 
 tion? 
 A plague upon you all ! His royal grace, — 
 Whom God preserve better than you would 
 
 wish ! — 
 Cannot be quiet scarce a breathing-while. 
 But you must trouble him with lewd com- 
 plaints. 
 Q. Eliz. Brother of Gloster, you mistake 
 
 the matter : 
 The king, of his own royal disposition. 
 And not provok'd by any suitor else ; 
 Aiming, belike, at your interior hatred. 
 That in your outward action shows itself. 
 Against my children, brothers, and myself. 
 Makes him to send ; that thereby he may 
 
 gather 
 The ground of your ill-will, and so remove 
 
 it. 
 Glo. I cannot tell ; — The world is grown 
 
 so bad. 
 
 That wrens may prey where eagles dare not 
 perch : 
 
 Since every Jack became a gentleman. 
 There 's many a gentle person made a Jack. 
 B. IIT.,1: 3. 1007.

 — Resented and Rebuked. 
 
 Q. Eliz. My lord of Gloster, I have too 
 long borne 
 
 Your blunt upbraidings, and your bitter 
 
 scoffs : 
 By heaven, I will acquaint his majesty. 
 Of those gross taunts I often have endur'd. 
 I had rather be a country servant-maid. 
 Than a great queen, with this condition — 
 To be so baited, scorn'd, and stormed at : 
 Small joy have I in being England's queen. 
 B. III., I: 3. 1007. 
 
 BRUTALITY.— In the Great.

 in Venice, 
 Though I should swear I saw it : 'T is very 
 
 much ; 
 Make her amends, she weeps.

 corporal, melted 
 As breath into the Avind. — Would they had 
 staid !

 A. TT., Ill : 2. 512. 
 
 BUMMERS.— Only Think of Plunder. 
 
 Mar. See here these movers, that do 
 prize their hours 
 At a crack'd drachm ! Cushions, leaden

 Irons of a doit, doublets that hangmen 
 
 would 
 Bury with those that wore them, these base 
 slaves.

 BURIAL. — Antony's. 
 
 Cleo. * * 
 We '11 bury him ; and then, what 's brave, 
 
 what 's noble, 
 Let 's do it after the high Roman fashion. 
 And make death proud to take us. Come, 
 
 away : 
 This case of that huge spirit now is cold. 
 Ah, women, women ! come ; we have no 
 
 friend 
 But resolution, and the briefest end. 
 
 A. a, IV : 13. 1576. 
 
 — Not to be Delayed. 
 
 Gui. * * Let us bury him. 
 And not protract with admiration what 
 Is now due debt. — To the grave. 
 
 Cym. ,1Y: 2. 1617. 
 
 — Plea for Honorable. 
 
 Mao'. My lord, this is impiety in you : 
 My nephew Mutius' deeds do plead for him ; 
 He must be buried with his brethren. 
 * * 
 
 Mar. Suffer thy brother Marcus to inter 
 His noble nephew here in virtue's nest. 
 That died in honour and Lavinia's cause. 
 Thou art a Roman, be not barbarous. 
 The Greeks, upon advice, did bury Ajax 
 That slew himself; and wise Laertes' son 
 Did graciously plead for his funerals. 
 Let not young Mutius then, that was thy 
 
 joy, 
 Be barr'd his entrance here. 
 
 Tit. Rise, Marcus, rise : — 
 
 The dismall'st day is this, that e'er I saw, 
 To be dishonour'd by my sons in Rome : 
 Well, bury him, and bury me the next. 
 
 Tit. And., 1 : 2. 1205. 
 
 BURIAL-PLACE.— Not to be Polluted. 
 
 Tit. Traitors, away ! he rests not in this 
 
 tomb ; 
 
 This monument five hundred years hath 
 
 stood. 
 Which I have sumptuously re-edified : 
 Here none but soldiers, and Rome's ser- 
 vitors. 
 Repose in fame ; none basely slain in 
 
 brawls : — 
 Bury him where you can, he comes not here. 
 Tit. And., 1 : 2. 1205. 
 BUSINESS. — Some, Loved. 
 
 Ant. To business that we love, we rise 
 betime. 
 And go to it with delight. 
 
 A. a, TV: 4. 1569. 
 
 "BUT YET."— Not Liked. ' 
 
 Cleo. I do not like " but yet," it does 
 allay 
 The good precedence ; fie upon "but yet:" 
 "But yet " is as a gaoler 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. 1552. 
 
 CALAMITIES.— Move the Dead. 
 
 Bed. What say'st thou, man, before 
 dead Henry's corse? 
 Speak softly; or the loss of those great 
 
 towns 
 Will make him burst his lead, and rise from 
 death. 
 Glo. Is Paris lost? is Rouen yielded up? 
 If Henry were recall'd to life again, 
 
 These news would cause him once more 
 yield the ghost.

 CALUMNY. 
 
 And take our goodly aged men by the 
 
 beards, 
 Giving our holy virgins to the stain 
 Of contumelious, beastly, mad-brain'd war; 
 Then, let him know, — and tell him, Timon 
 
 speaks it, 
 In pity of our aged, and our youth, 
 I cannot choose but tell him, that — I care 
 
 not. 
 And let him take 't at worst; for their 
 
 knives care not, 
 While you have throats to answer. 
 
 T.A.,Y: 2 : 1314. 
 
 CALAMITY. — Public. 
 
 CcES. The breaking of so great a thing 
 
 should make 
 A greater crack ; The round world should 
 
 have shook 
 Lions into civil streets. 
 And citizens to their dens : — The death of 
 
 Antony 
 Is not a single doom ; in the name lay 
 A moiety of the world. 
 
 A. C, V : 1. 1576. 
 
 — Sudden. 
 
 Bel. * * Then was I as a tree, 
 Whose boughs did bend with fruit : but, in 
 
 one night, 
 A storm, or robbery, call it what you will. 
 Shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my 
 
 leaves. 
 And left me bare to weather. 
 
 Cym., Ill : 3. 1607. 
 
 CALL.— To Arms. 
 
 Sat. Noble patricians, patrons of my 
 right. 
 Defend the justice of my cause with arms ; 
 And, countrymen, mj' loving followers. 
 Plead my successive title with your swords : 
 I am his first-born son, that was the last 
 That wore the imperial diadem of Rome ; 
 Then let my father's honours live in me. 
 Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. 
 
 Tit. And., 1 : 1. 1201. 
 
 CALUMNY.— Chance to Refute. 
 
 Oran. I humbly thank your highness ; 
 And am right glad to catch this good occa- 
 
 Most thoroughly to be winnow'd, where my 
 
 chaff 
 And corn shall fly asunder : for, I know, 
 There 's none stands under more calumni- 
 ous tongues. 
 Than I myself, poor man. 
 
 K. Hen. Stand up, good Canterbury ; 
 
 Thy truth, and thy integrity, is rooted 
 In us, thy friend. 
 * * 
 
 K. Hen. Be of good cheer ; 
 
 They shall no more prevail, than we give 
 
 way to. 
 Keep comfort to you ; and this morning see 
 You do appear before them ; if they shall 
 
 chance. 
 In charging you with matters, to commit 
 
 you. 
 The best persuasions to the contrary 
 Fail not to use, and with what vehemency 
 The occasion shall instruct you : if entreat- 
 ies 
 Will render you no remedy, this ring 
 Deliver them, and your appeal to us 
 There make before them. — Look, the good 
 
 man weeps 
 
 He 's honest, on mine honour. God's blest 
 
 mother ! 
 I swear, he is true-hearted ; and a soul 
 None better in my kingdom. — Get you 
 
 gone. 
 And do as I have bid you. He has strangled 
 His language in his tears.

 That calumny doth use : — O, I am out. 
 That mercy does ; for calumny will sear 
 Virtue itself: these shrugs, these hums, 
 
 and ha's. 
 When you have said she 's goodly, come 
 
 between. 
 Ere you can say she 's honest : But be 't 
 
 known. 
 From him that has most cause to grieve it 
 
 should be. 
 She 's an adultress.

 CARELESSNESS.

 But who comes here?

 CARPING.— A Woman's. 
 
 Hero. Why, you speak truth : I never 
 yet saw man. 
 How wise, how noble, young, how rarely 
 
 featur'd. 
 But she would spell him backward : if fair 
 
 fac'd. 
 She would swear the gentleman should be 
 
 her sister; 
 If black, why. Nature, drawing of an antic. 
 Made a foul blot : if tall, a lance ill-headed ; 
 If low, an agate very vildly cut : 
 If speaking, why, a vane blown with all 
 
 winds ; 
 If silent, why, a block moved with none. 
 So turns she every man the wrong side out. 
 And never gives to truth and virtue that 
 Which simpleness and merit purchaseth. 
 
 3r. A., Ill : 1. 238.

 hangman : which though it be great pity, yet 
 it is necessary. An old sheep-whistling rogue, 
 a ram-tender, to offer to have his daughter 
 come into grace ! Some say, he shall be 
 ston'd ; but that death is too soft for him, 
 say I : Draw our throne into a sheep-cote ! 
 all deaths are too few, the sharpest too easy.

 Avorkman, I am but, as you Avould say, a 
 cobbler. 
 
 Mar. But what trade art thou? Answer 
 me directly. 
 
 1 CU. A trade, sir, that, I hope, I may 
 use with a safe conscience ; which is, in- 
 deed, sir, a mender of bad soals. 
 
 Mar. What trade, thou knave ; thou 
 naughty knave, what trade?

 My country's high pj-^ramides my gibbet, 
 And hang me up in chains !

 Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue !

 Creating awe and fear in other men? 
 
 E. v., IV : 1. 842. 
 
 Tim. Nay, my lords, ceremony 
 
 Was but devis'd at first, to set a gloss 
 On faint deeds, hollow welcomes. 
 Recanting goodness, sorry ere 't is shown ; 
 But where there is true friendship, there 
 
 needs none. 
 Pray, sit ; more welcome are ye to my for-

 — Sign of Cooling Friendship. 
 Bru. Thou hast describ'd 
 
 A hot friend cooling : Ever note, Lucilius, 
 When love begins to sicken and decay, 
 It useth an enforced ceremony. 
 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 tlie trial. 
 
 J. C, IV : 2. 1343.

 Wol. And for me, 
 
 I have no further gone in tliis, than by 
 A single voice ; and that not pass'd me, 
 
 but 
 By learned approbation of the judges. 
 If I am traduc'd by tongues, which neither 
 
 know 
 My faculties, nor person, yet will be 
 The chronicles of my doing, — let me say, 
 'T is but the fate of place, and the rough 
 
 brake 
 That virtue must go through. 
 * * What we oft do best, 
 By sick interpreters, once weak ones, is 
 Not ours, or not allow'd ; what worst, as 
 
 oft. 
 Hitting a grosser quality, is cried up 
 Tor our best act. If we shall stand still. 
 In fear our motion will be mock'd or carp'd

 We should take root here where we sit, or

 State statues only.

 On horror's head horrors accumulate :

 For nothing canst thou to damnation add.

 peril ; 
 That knows his valour, and knows not his 
 
 fear; 
 That loves his mistress more than in con- 
 fession, 
 (With truant vows to her own lips he loves) 
 And dares avow her beauty and her worth, 
 In other arms than hers, to him this 
 
 challenge. 
 Hector, in view of Trojans and of Greeks, 
 Shall make it good, or do his best to do it. 
 He hath a lady, wiser, fairer, truer. 
 Than ever Greek did compass in his arms ; 
 And will to-morrow with his trumpet call, 
 Mid-way between your tents and walls of 
 
 Troy, 
 To rouse a Grecian that is true in love : 
 If any come. Hector shall honour him. 
 
 T. a, 1 : 3. 1110. 
 
 — Griven Modestly. 
 Ver. No, by my soul; 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 in- 
 deed. 
 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. 
 There did he pause : But let me tell the 
 
 world 
 If he outlive the envy of this day, 
 England did never owe so sweet a hope. 
 So much misconstrued in his wantonness.

 Ne'er knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on 
 To the Propontick, and the Hellespont ;

 Puck. The king doth keep his revels here 
 
 to-night : 
 Take heed the queen come not within his 
 
 sight ; 
 For Oberon is passing fell and wrath, 
 Because that she, as her attendant, hath 
 A lovely boy stol'n from an Indian king; 
 She never had so sweet a changeling : 
 And jealous Oberon would have the child 
 Knight of his train, to trace the forests 
 
 wild : 
 But she, perforce, withholds the loved boy. 
 Crowns him Avith flowers, and makes him all 
 
 her joy: 
 And now they never meet in grove, or green, 
 
 By fountain clear, or spangled starlight 
 
 sheen. 
 But they do square ; that all their elves, for 
 
 fear, 
 Creep into acorn-cups, and hide them there.

 Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring

 Ere twice in murk and occidental damp 
 Moist Hesperus hath quench'd his sleepy

 Or four-and-twenty times the pilot's glass 
 Hath told the thievish minutes how tliey

 Health shall live free, and sickness freely

 beasts of their particular additions ; he is as 
 valiant as the lion, churlish as the bear, slow

 hath so crowded humours, that his valour is 
 crushed into folly, his folly sauced with dis- 
 cretion : He hath the joints of every thing; 
 but every thing so out of joint, that he is a 
 gouty Briareus, many hands and no use ; or 
 purblind Argus, all eyes and no sight.

 K. John. * * 
 A fearful eye thou hast : Where is that 
 
 blood. 
 That I have seen inhabit in those cheeks? 
 So foul a sky clears riot without a storm : 
 Pour doVn thy weather.

 CHEERFULNESS.— Aid to Recovery. 
 
 Ros. I had ratlier have a fool to make 
 me merry, than experience to make me sad. 
 
 A. Y., IV : 1. 429. 
 
 Riv. Have patience, madam ; there 's no 
 doubt his majesty 
 Will soon recover his accustom'd health. 
 
CHEERFULNESS.

 CHILDISHNESS. 
 
 Grey. In that you brook it ill, it makes 
 
 him worse : 
 Therefore, for God's sake, entertain good 
 
 comfort, 
 And cheer his grace with quick and merry 
 
 words. 
 Q. Eliz. If he were dead, what would 
 
 betide of me? 
 Grey. No other harm, but loss of such 
 
 a lord. 
 
 Q. Eliz. The loss of such a lord includes 
 
 all harms. 
 
 B. III., 1 : 3. 1006. 
 
 CHESS. — False Play at. 
 
 Mira. Sweet lord, you play me false. 
 Fer. No, my dearest love, 
 
 I would not for the world. 
 
 3Iira. Yes, for a score of kingdoms you 
 should wrangle, 
 And I would call it fair play.

 CHIDING.— Better than Heartbreak. 
 
 3Irs. Page. * * Better a little chiding, 
 than a great deal of heartbreak. 
 
 M. W., V : 3. 117. 
 — Gentle. 
 Des. * * Those, that do teach young 
 babes, 
 Do it with gentle means, and easy tasks : 
 He might have chid me so ; for, in good 
 
 faith, 
 I am a child to chiding. 
 
 O., IV : 2. 1523. 
 
 CHILD.— Disobedient. 
 
 Duke. No, trust me ; she is peevish, sul- 
 len, froward, 
 Proud, disobedient, stubborn, lacking duty ; 
 Neither regarding that she is my child, 
 Nor fearing me as if I were her father : 
 And, may I say to thee, this pride of hers, 
 Upon advice, hath drawn my love from her ; 
 And, where I thought the remnant of mine 
 
 age 
 Should have been cherish'd by her child- 
 like duty, 
 I now am full resolv'd to take a wife. 
 And turn her out to who will take her in : 
 Then let her beauty be her wedding-dow'r, 
 For me and my possessions she esteems not. 
 T. O., Ill : 1. 60.

 — Ungrateful, Cursed. 
 
 Lear. * * Hear, nature, hear; 
 Dear goddess, hear ! Suspend thy purpose, 
 
 if 
 Thou didst intend to make this creature 
 
 fruitful ! 
 Into her womb convey sterility I 
 Dry up in her the organs of increase ; 
 And from her derogate body never spring 
 A babe to honour her ! If she must teem, 
 Create her child of spleen ; that it may live. 
 And be a thwart disnatur'd torment to her ! 
 Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth ; 
 With cadent tears fret channels in her 
 
 cheeks ; 
 Turn all her mother's pains, and benefits. 
 To laughter and contempt; that she may 
 
 feel 
 How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is 
 To have a thankless child ! 
 
 K. L., 1 : 4. 1452. 
 
 CHILDHOOD. — A Terrible. 
 
 Per. A terrible child-bed hast thou had, 
 
 my dear ; 
 No light, no fire ; the unfriendly elements 
 Forgot thee utterly ; nor have I time 
 To give thee hallow'd to thy grave : but 
 
 straight 
 Must cast thee, scarcely colfin'd, in the 
 
 ooze; 
 Where, for a monument upon thy bones, 
 And aye-remaining lamps, the belching 
 
 whale. 
 And humming water must o'erwhelm thy 
 
 corpse. 
 Lying with simple shells. Lychorida, 
 Bid Nestor bring me spices, ink and paper. 
 My casket and my jewels ; and bid Nicander 
 Bring me the satin coffer : lay the babe 
 Upon the pillow : hie thee, whiles I say 
 A priestly farewell to her : suddenly, woman.

 CHILDISHNESS.— Freedom from.

 give me freedom. 
 It does from childishness.

CHILDREN.

 CHOLER. 
 
 CHILDREN.— A Blessing. 
 
 Clo. In Isbel's case and mine own. Ser- 
 vice is no heritage : and I tliink I shall never 
 have the blessing of God, till I have issue a' 
 my body ; for, they say, bairnes are bless- 
 ings. 
 
 A. W., 1 : 3. 499. 
 
 — A Punishment. 
 
 K. Hen. * * 
 I know not whether God will have it so, 
 For some displeasing service I have done, 
 That in his secret doom, out of my blood 
 He '11 breed revengement and a scourge for 
 
 me ; 
 But thou dost, in thy passages of life. 
 Make me believe, — that thou art only 
 
 mark'd 
 Por the hot vengeance and the rod of heav- 
 en. 
 To punish my mis-treadings. Tell me else. 
 Could such inordinate, and low desires. 
 Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean 
 
 attempts. 
 Such barren pleasures, rude society. 
 As thou art match'd withal, and grafted to, 
 Accompany the greatness of thy blood. 
 And hold their level with thy princely heart? 
 II. IV., 1 pt., Ill : 2. 747. 
 — Adherence to. 
 Tvo "^ 
 
 We turn not back the silks upon the mer- 
 chant, 
 When we have soil'd them ; nor the remain- 
 der viands 
 We do not throw in unrespective sieve, 
 Because we now are full. 
 
 T. C, II : 2. 1114. 
 
 — Dead, Hover over Us. 
 
 Q. Eliz. Ah, my poor princes ! ah, my 
 tender babes ! 
 My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets ! 
 If yet your gentle souls fly in the air, 
 And be not fix'd in doom perpetual, 
 Hover about me with your airy wings. 
 And hear your mother's lamentation ! 
 
 R. III., lY: 4. 1034. 
 
 CHOICE.— Freedom of. 
 
 Nest. * * 
 And choice, being mutual act of all our 
 souls. 
 
 Makes merit her election ; and doth boil. 
 As 't were from forth us all, a man distill'd 
 Out of our virtues.

 — Power of. 
 
 lago. * * Our bodies are our gardens ; 
 to the which, our wills are gardeners : so 
 that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce ; 
 set hyssop, and weed up thyme ; supply it 
 with one gender of herbs, or distract it with 
 many ; either to have it steril with idleness, 
 or manured with industry ; Avhy, the power 
 and corrigible authority of this lies in our 
 wills. 
 
 0., 1 : 3. 1498. 
 
 CHOLER.— Defied and Rebuked. 
 
 Bru. Hear me, for I will speak. 
 
 Must I give way and room to your rash 
 
 choler? 
 Shall I be frighted, when a madman stares ? 
 Cas. O ye gods ! ye gods ! Must I en- 
 dure all this ? 
 Bru. All this ? ay, more : Fret, till your 
 
 proud heart break ; 
 Go, show your slaves how choleric you are. 
 And make your bondmen tremble. Must I 
 
 budge ? 
 Must I observe you? Must I stand and 
 
 crouch 
 Under your testy humour? By the gods, 
 You shall digest the venom of your spleen. 
 Though it do split you : for, from this day 
 
 forth, 
 I '11 use you for my mirth, yea, for my 
 
 laughter. 
 When you are waspish. 
 
 J. C, IV: 3. 1344.

 CHURLISHNESS. 
 
 Makes my flesh tremble in their different

 I will withdraw : but this intrusion shall, 
 Now seeming sweet, convert to bitter gall.

 CHRISTENING.— Cause for Holiday. 
 
 K. Hen. * * This day, no man think 
 He has business at his house ; for all shall 
 
 stay. 
 This little one shall make it holiday. 
 
 ff. Vin.,Y: 4. 1094. 
 
 — Desired. 
 
 K. Hen. Good man, those joyful tears 
 
 show thy true heart. 
 The common voice, I see, is verified 
 Of thee, which says thus, "Do my lord of 
 
 Canterbury 
 A shrewd turn, and he is your friend for 
 
 ever." — 
 Come, lords, we trifle time away; I long 
 To have this young one made a christian. 
 
 H. VIII.,Y: 2. 1092. 
 
 CHRISTMAS-EVE.— Recognized by 
 Fowls. 
 
 Mar. * * 
 Some say, that ever 'gainst that season 
 
 comes 
 Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated. 
 This bird of dawning singeth all night long : 
 And then, they say, no spirit can walk 
 
 abroad ; 
 The nights are wholesome ; then no planets 
 
 strike, 
 No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to 
 
 charm, 
 So hallow'd and so gracious is the time. 
 
 H.,1: 1. 1393. 
 
 CHRONICLER.— An Honest. 
 
 Katli. After my death I wish no other 
 
 herald, 
 No other speaker of my living actions, 
 To keep mine honour from corruption. 
 But such an honest chronicler as Griffith. 
 Whom I most hated living, thou hast made 
 
 me, 
 •With thy religious truth, and modesty, 
 Now in his ashes honour : Peace be with 
 
 him ! — 
 
 Patience, be near me still; and set me 
 
 lower : 
 I have not long to trouble thee. — Good 
 
 Griffith, 
 Cause the musicians play me that sad note 
 I nam'd my knell, whilst I sit meditating 
 On that celestial harmony I go to. 
 
 //. nil., IV: 2. 1085. 
 
 CHURCH.— A Tyrannical. 
 
 Pand. All form is formless, order order- 
 less. 
 Save what is opposite to England's love. 
 Therefore, to arms! be champion of our 
 
 church ! 
 Or let the church, our mother, breathe her 
 
 curse, 
 A mother's curse, on her revolting son. 
 
 K. J., Ill : 1. 659. 
 
 — Reconciliation to the. 
 
 Pand. Hail, noble prince of Prance ! 
 
 The next is this, — king John hath reconcil'd 
 Himself to Rome ; his spirit is come in. 
 That so stood out against the holy church, 
 The great metropolis and see of Rome : 
 Therefore thy threat'ning colours now wind 
 
 up. 
 And tame the savage spirit of wild war ; 
 That, like a lion foster'd up at hand. 
 It may lie gently at the foot of peace. 
 And be no further harmful than in show. 
 
 X. J., V : 2. 672. 
 
 CHURCHMAN.— A Fighting. 
 
 Shal. What ! the sword and the word ; 
 do you study them both, master parson? 
 
 M. W., Ill r 1. 102. 
 
 CHURCHMEN.— Should be Peaceful. 
 
 K. Hen. * * 
 Or who should study to prefer a peace, 
 If holy churchmen take delight in broils? 
 
 H. FJ.,lpt.,III: 1. 879. 
 
 CHURLISHNES S. — Of Disposition. 
 
 Cor. Fair sir, I pity her. 
 
 And wish for her sake, more than for mine 
 
 own. 
 My fortunes were more able to relieve her : 
 But I am shepherd to another man. 
 
CHURLISHNESS. 
 
 79 
 
 CIRCUMSTANCES. 
 
 And do not shear the fleeces that I graze ; 
 My master is of churlish disposition, 
 And little recks to find the way to heaven 
 By doing deeds of hospitality.

 CIPHER. — Its Importance. 
 
 FoL * * 
 Go hence in debt : And therefore, like a 
 
 cipher, 
 Yet standing in rich place, I multiply. 
 With one Ave-thank-you, many thousands 
 
 more 
 That go before it. 
 
 W. T., 1 : 2. 581. 
 
 CIRCUMSTANCES.— Alter Cases. 
 
 War. A.y, but the case is alter'd : 
 
 When you disgrac'd me in my embassade, 
 Then I degraded you from being king, 
 And come now to create you duke of York. 
 Alas ! how should you govern any kingdom. 
 That know not how to use ambassadors ; 
 Nor how to be contented with one wife ; 
 Nor how to use your brothers brotherly ; 
 Nor how to study for the people's welfare ; 
 Nor how to shroud yourself from enemies? 
 IT. VI., 3 pt., IV : 3. 981. 
 
 — Change Opinions. 
 
 Gaunt. Things sweet to taste, prove in 
 
 digestion sour. 
 You urg'd me as a judge ; but I had rather. 
 You would have bid me argue like a father : 
 O, had it been a stranger, not my child. 
 To smooth his fault I should have been more 
 
 mild : 
 A partial slander sought I to avoid, 
 And in the sentence my own life destroy'd. 
 Alas, I look'd, when some of you should 
 
 say, 
 I was too strict, to make mine own away ; 
 But you gave leave to my unwilling tongue, 
 Against my will, to do myself this wrong. 
 
 B. II., 1 : 3. 690.

 Arv. * * 
 Our valour is, to chace what flies ; our cage 
 We make a quire, as doth the prison bird. 
 And sing our bondage freely. 
 
 Cym.,lll: 3. 1607. 
 
 — Give Character. 
 
 For. The crow doth sing as sweetly as 
 
 the lark. 
 When neither is attended ; and, I think 
 The nightingale, if she should sing by day. 
 When every goose is cackling, would be 
 
 thought 
 No better a musician than the wren. 
 How many things by season season'd are 
 To their right praise and true perfection ! 
 31. v., V : 1. 389. 
 
 — Ground of Suspicion. 
 
 Fri. I am the greatest, able to do least. 
 Yet most suspected, as the time and jDlace 
 Doth make against me, of this direful 
 
 murder ; 
 And here I stand, both to impeach and 
 
 purge 
 Myself condemned and myself excus'd. 
 
 R. J., V : 3. 1277. 
 
 — Perplexing. 
 
 Imo. * * 'Faith, I '11 lie down and 
 sleep. 
 
 But, soft ! no bedfellow : — O, gods and god- 
 desses ! 
 
 These flowers are like the pleasures of the 
 world ; 
 
 This bloody man, the care on 't. — I hope, I 
 dream ; 
 
 For, lo, I thought I was a cave-keeper, 
 
 And cook to honest creatures : But 't is not 
 so; 
 
 'T was but a bolt of nothing, shot at nothing. 
 
 Which the brain makes of fumes : Our very 
 eyes 
 
 Are sometimes like our judgments, blind. 
 Good faith, 
 
 I tremble still with fear : But if there be 
 
 Yet left in heaven as small a drop of pity 
 
 As a wren's eye, fear'd gods, a part of it ! 
 
 The dream 's here still : even when I wake, 
 it is 
 
 Without me, as within me ; not imagin'd, 
 felt. 
 
 A headless man! — The garments of Post- 
 humus ! 
 
 I know tlie shape of his leg : this is his 
 hand ; 
 
 His foot Mercurial ; his Martial thigh ;

 The brawns of Hercules : but his jovial

 — Small, Used. 
 
 Pand. * * If but a dozen French 
 Were there in arms, they would be as a call 
 To train ten thousand English to their side ; 
 Or, as a little snoAv, tumbled about. 
 Anon becomes a mountain. O noble 
 
 Dauphin, 
 Go with me to the king : 'T is M^onderful, 
 What may be wrought out of their discon- 
 tent. 
 
 K. J., Ill : 4. 663. 
 
 CITY. — Reputation Precious. 
 
 Ant. The duke cannot deny the course 
 of law; 
 For the commodity that strangers have 
 With us in Venice, if it be denied, 
 Will much impeach the justice of the state ; 
 Since that the trade and profit of the city 
 Consisteth of all nations. 
 
 M. v., Ill : 3. 380. 
 
 CIVILITY.— Cold and Jealous. 
 
 Beat. The count is neither sad, nor sick, 
 nor merry, nor well : but civil, count; civil 
 as an orange, and something of that jealous 
 complexion. 
 
 M. A., II : 1. 233. 
 
 CIVILIZATION.— Its Blessings Cursed. 
 
 Cal. As wicked dew as e'er my mother 
 
 brush'd 
 With raven's feather from unwholesome 
 
 fen, 
 Drop on you both ! a south-west blow on ye, 
 And blister you all o'er ! 
 
 Pro. For this, be sure, to-night thou 
 
 shalt have cramps. 
 Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up ; 
 
 urchins 
 Shall, for that vast of night that they may 
 
 work, 
 All exercise on thee : thou shalt be pinch'd 
 As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more 
 
 stinging 
 Than bees that made them. 
 
 Cal. I must eat my dinner. 
 
 This island 's mine, by Sycorax my mother. 
 
 Which thou tak'st from me. When thou 
 
 cam'st first, 
 Thou strok'dst me, and mad'st much of me ; 
 
 would'st give me 
 Water with berries in 't ; and teach me how 
 To name the bigger light, and how the less. 
 That burn by day and night : and then I 
 
 lov'd thee. 
 And show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle. 
 The fresh springs, brine-pits, — barren placC; 
 
 and fertile ; 
 Curs'd be I that did so ! — All the charms 
 Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on 
 
 you! 
 For I am all the subjects that you have, 
 Which first was mine own king : and here 
 
 you sty me 
 In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from 
 
 me 
 The rest o' the island. 
 * * 
 You taught me language, and my profit 
 
 on 't 
 Is, I know how to curse ! the red plague rid 
 
 you, 
 For learning me your language !

 By custom and the ordinance of times, 
 Unto the crown of France. That you may

 'T is no sinister, nor no awkward claim, 
 Pick'd from the worm-holes of long-vanish'd

 Nor from the dust of old oblivion rak'd,

 When I said, banish him, I said, 't was pity.

 we did for the best : and though we will- 
 ingly consented to his banishment, yet it 
 was against our will. 
 
CLAMOR. 
 
 COLD-BLOODED.

 The uncivil Kernes of Ireland are in arms. 
 
 And temper clay with blood of Englishmen. 
 
 H. VI., 2 pt., Ill : 1. 925. 
 
 CLERGYMAN.— His Punction. 
 
 P. John. * * 
 How deep you were within the books of

 To us, the speaker in his parliament ; 
 To us, the imagin'd voice of God himself; 
 The very opener, and intelligencer. 
 Between the grace, the sanctities of heaven. 
 And our dull workings. 
 
 H. IV., 2 pt., IV : 2. 797. 
 
 CLOUDS.— Not Storms. 
 
 K. Edw. Thus far our fortune keeps an 
 
 upward course. 
 And we are grac'd with wreaths of victory. 
 But, in the midst of this bright-shining day, 
 I spy a black, suspicious, threafning cloud, 
 That Avill encounter with our glorious sun, 
 Ere he attain his easeful western bed : 
 I mean, my lords, — those powers, that the 
 
 queen 
 Hath rais'd in Gallia, have arriv'd our coast, 
 And, as we hear, march on to fight with us. 
 Clar. A little gale will soon disperse 
 
 that cloud. 
 And blow it to the source from whence it 
 
 came : 
 
 Thy very beams will dry those vapours up ; 
 For every cloud engenders not a storm.

 The cock, tliat is the trumpet to the morn. 
 Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding

 AAvake the god of day ; and, at his warning. 
 Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air. 
 The extravagant and erring spirit hies 
 To his confine : and of the truth herein 
 This present object made probation.

 COIGNR— Of Vantage. 
 
 Ban. This guest of summer, 
 
 Tlie temple-haunting martlet, does approve, 
 By his lov'd mansionry, that the heaven's 
 
 breath 
 Smells wooingly here : no jutty, frieze, 
 
 buttress, 
 Nor coigne of vantage, but this bird hath 
 
 made 
 His pendent bed, and procreant cradle : 
 
 Where they 
 Most breed and haunt, I have observ'd, the 
 
 air 
 
 Is delicate.

 COLD.— Indifference to. 
 
 Gru. * * Now, were not I a little pot, 
 and soon hot, my very lips might freeze to 
 my teeth, my tongue to the roof of my 
 mouth, my heart in my belly, ere I should 
 come by a fire to thaw me : — But. I, with 
 blowing the fire, shall warm myself; for, 
 considering the weather, a taller man than 
 I will take cold.

 And none of you will bid the winter come, 
 To thrust his icy fingers in my maw ; 
 Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their

 Through my burn'd bosom; nor entreat the

 To make his bleak winds kiss my parched

 And so ingrateful, you deny me that.

 K. Hen. Ay, Margaret; my heart is 
 
 drown'd with grief. 
 Whose flood begins to flow within mine 
 
 eyes; 
 My body round engirt with misery ; 
 For what 's more miserable than discon- 
 tent? — 
 Ah, uncle Humphrey ! in thy face I see 
 The map of honour, truth, and loyalty ; 
 And yet, good Humphrey, is the hour to 
 
 come, 
 That e'er I prove thee false, or fear'd thy 
 
 faith. 
 What low'ring star now envies thy estate. 
 That these great lords, and Margaret our 
 
 queen, 
 Do seek subversion of thy harmless life? 
 Thou never didst them wrong, nor no man 
 
 wrong : 
 And as the butcher takes away the calf. 
 And binds the wretch, and beats it when it 
 
 strays. 
 Bearing it to the bloody slaughter-house ; 
 Even so, remorseless, have they borne him 
 
 hence. 
 And as the dam runs lowing up and down. 
 Looking the way her harmless young one 
 
 went, 
 And can do naught but wail her darling's 
 
 loss ; 
 Even so myself bewails good Gloster's case, 
 With sad unhelpful tears ; and with dimm'd 
 
 eyes 
 Look after him, and cannot do him good ; 
 So mighty are his vowed enemies.

 and therefore should we be magistrates.

 yield us but the superfluity, vdiile it were 
 wholesome, we might guess, they relieved 
 us humanely ; but they think, we are too 
 dear : the leanness that afflicts lis, the ab-

 Dol. Why does the prince love him so 
 then? 
 
 Fal. Because their legs are both of a 
 bigness ; and he plays at quoits well ; and 
 eats conger and fennel ; and drinks off can- 
 dles' ends for flap-dragons ; and rides the 
 wild mare with the boys ; and jumps upon 
 joint-stools ; and swears with a good grace ;. 
 and wears his boot very smooth, like unto 
 the sign of the leg; and breeds no bate with 
 telling of discreet stories ; and such other 
 gambol faculties he hath, that show a weak

 Which they have often made against the

 All cause unborn, could never be the motive 
 Of our so frank donation. Well, what then ! 
 How shall this bisson multitude digest 
 The senate's courtesy? Let deeds express 
 What 's like to be their words : — " We did 
 
 request it ; 
 We are the greater poll, and in true fear 
 They gave us our demands:" — Thus we 
 
 debase 
 The nature of our seats, and make the

 The royal captain of this ruin'd band. 
 Walking from watch to watch, from tent to

 Let him cry — Praise and glory on his head ! 
 For forth he goes, and visits all his host ; 
 Bids them good-morrow, with a modest 
 
 smile ; 
 And calls them— brothers, friends, and 
 
 countrymen. 
 Upon his royal face there is no note. 
 How dread an army hath enrounded him ; 
 Nor doth he dedicate one jot of colour 
 Unto the weary and all-watched night : 
 But freshly looks, and over-bears attaint. 
 With cheerful semblance, and sweet majesty ; 
 That every wretch, pining and pale before. 
 Beholding him, plucks comfort from his

 His liberal eye doth give to every one, 
 Thawing cold fear.

 O, now I want the priest that spake to me :

 And in a dark and dankish vault at home

 "Wherein he might the king, his lord adver- 
 tise 
 "Whether our daughter were legitimate. 
 Respecting this our marriage with the dow- 
 ager, 
 Sometime our brother's wife. This respite 
 
 shook 
 The bosom of my conscience, enter'd me. 
 Yea, with a splitting power, and made to 
 
 tremble

 way 
 That many maz'd considerings did throng, 
 And press'd in with this caution. First, me- 
 
 thought, 
 I stood not in the smile of heaven ; -who had 
 Commanded nature, that my lady's womb. 
 If not conceiv'd a male child by me, should 
 Do no more offices of life to 't, than 
 The grave does to the dead : for her male 
 
 issue 
 Or died where they were made, or shortly 
 
 after 
 This world had air'd them : Hence I took a 
 
 thought, 
 This was a judgment on me ; that my king- 
 dom 
 Well worthy the best heir o' the world, 
 
 should not 
 Be gladded in 't by me : Then follows, that 
 I weigh'd the danger which my realms 
 
 stood in 
 By this my issue's fail ; and that gave to me 
 Many a groaning throe. Thus hulling in 
 The wild sea of my conscience, I did steer 
 Toward this remedy, whereupon we are 
 Now present here together ; that 's to say, 
 I meant to rectify my conscience, — which 
 I then did feel full sick, and yet not well, — 
 By all the reverend fathers of the land.

 O, no : alas, I rather hate myself, 
 
 For hateful deeds committed by myself. 
 
 I am a villain : yet I lie, I am not. 
 
 Fool, of thyself speak well: — Fool, do not 
 
 flatter. 
 My conscience hath a thousand several 
 
 tongues 
 And every tongue brings in a several tale. 
 And every tale condemns me for a villain. 
 Perjury, perjury, in the high'st degree. 
 Murder, stern murder, in the dir'st degree ; 
 All several sins, all us'd in each degree, 
 Throng to the bar, crying all, — Guilty ! 
 
 guilty ! 
 I shall despair. — There is no creature loves 
 
 me ; 
 And, if I die, no soul will pity me : — 
 
 Nay, wherefore should they? since that I 
 
 myself 
 Find in myself no pity to myself. 
 Methought, the souls of all that I had mur-

 Came to my tent : and every one did threat 
 
 To-morrow's vengeance on the head of

 Do but behold yon poor and starved band. 
 And your fair show shall suck away their 
 
 souls. 
 Leaving them but the shales and husks of 
 
 men. 
 There is not work enough for all our hands ; 
 Scarce blood enough in all their sickly veins. 
 To give each naked curtle-axe a stain, 
 That our French gallants shall to-day draw 
 
 out, 
 And sheath for lack of sport : let us but 
 
 blow on them. 
 The vapour of our valour will o'erturn them. 
 'T is positive 'gainst all exceptions, lords. 
 That our superfluous lackeys, and our peas- 
 ants, — 
 Who, in unnecessary action, swarm 
 About our squares of battle, — were enough 
 To purge this field of such a hilding foe ; 
 Though we, upon this mountain's basis by 
 Took stand for idle speculation : 
 But that our honours must not. What 's to 
 
 say? 
 A very little little let us do, 
 And all is done. * *

 CONTENTMENT. 
 
 Yon island carrions, desperate of their 
 
 bones, 
 Ill-fixvour'dly become the morning field : 
 Their ragged curtains poorly are let loose, 
 And our air shakes them passing scornfully. 
 Big Mars seems bankrupt in their beggar'd 
 
 host, 
 And faintly through a rusty beaver peeps. 
 Their horsemen sit like fixed candlesticks, 
 With torch staves in each hand : and their 
 
 poor jades 
 Lob down their heads, dropping the hides 
 
 and hips ; 
 The gum down-roping from their pale-dead 
 
 eyes; 
 And in their pale dull mouths the gimmal 
 
 bit 
 Lies foul with chew'd grass, still and motion- 
 less ; 
 And their executors, the knavish crows, 
 Ply o'er them all, impatient for their hour. 
 Description cannot suit itself in words. 
 To demonstrate the life of such a battle 
 In life so lifeless as it shows itself. 
 
 Con. They have said their prayers, and 
 
 they stay for death. 
 Dau. Shall we go send them dinners, 
 
 and fresh suits. 
 And give their fasting horses provender?

 To see you here before me. O my soul's

 If after every tempest come such calms, 
 May the Avinds blow till they have waken'd 
 
 death, 
 And let the labouring bark climb hills of 
 
 seas, 
 Olympus high ; and duck again as low 
 As hell 's from heaven ! If it were now to 
 
 die, 
 'T were now to be most happy ; for, I fear. 
 My soul hath her content so absolute. 
 That not another comfort like to this 
 Succeeds in unknown fate.

 After some question with him, was con-

 Both from his enterprise, and from the

 Glo. I would they were, that I might 
 
 die at once. 
 For now they kill me with a living death. 
 Those eyes of thine from mine have drawn 
 
 salt tears, 
 Sham'd their aspects with store of cliildish 
 
 drops : 
 These ^es, which never shed remorseful 
 
 tear, — 
 Not, when my father York and Edward 
 
 wept, 
 To hear the piteous moan that Rutland 
 
 made. 
 When black-fac'd Clifford shook his sword 
 
 at him : 
 Nor when thy warlike father, like a child, 
 Told the sad story of my father's death ; 
 And twenty times made pause, to sob, and 
 
 weep, 
 That all the standers-by had wet their 
 
 cheeks. 
 
 Like trees bedash'd with rain : in that sad 
 
 time. 
 My manly eyes did scorn an humble tear ; 
 And what these sorrows could not thence 
 
 exhale, 
 Thy beauty hath, and made them blind with 
 
 weeping. 
 I never su'd to friend, nor enemy ; 
 My tongue could never learn sweet sooth- 
 ing word ; 
 But now thy beauty is propos'd ray fee. 
 My proud heart sues, and prompts my 
 
 tongue to speak. 
 Teach not thy lip such scorn ; for it was 
 
 made 
 For kissing, lady, not for such contempt. 
 If thy revengeful heart cannot forgive, 
 Lo ! here I lend thee this sharp - pointed 
 
 sword ; 
 Which if thou please to hide in tliis true 
 
 breast. 
 And let the soul forth that adoreth thee, 
 I lay it naked to the deadly stroke. 
 And humbly beg the death upon my knee. 
 Nay, do not pause ; for I did kill king 
 
 Henry ; — 
 But 't was thy beauty that provoked me. 
 Nay, now despatch ; 't was I that stabb'd 
 
 young Edward ; — 
 But 't was thj' heavenly face that set me on. 
 Take up the sword again, or take up me.

 Even so thy breast encompassetli my poor

 Wear both of them, for both of them are

 And if thy poor devoted servant may 
 But beg one favor at thy gracious hand, 
 Thou dost confirm his happiness forever.

 And yet shalt thou be safe? such safety

 Before I would have granted to that act. 
 But thou preferr'st thy life before thine

 And seeing thou dost, I here divorce myself. 
 Both from thy table, Henry, and thy bed. 
 Until that act of parliament be repeal'd. 
 Whereby my son is disinherited. 
 The northern lords, that have forsworn thy

 And spread they shall be ; to thy foul dis-

 Lest, in our need, he might infect another, 
 
 And make him of like spirit to himself. 
 If any such be here, as God forbid !

 Given to the common enemy of man.

 And champion me to the utterance !

 Dec. Shall no man else be touch'd but 
 
 only Caesar? 
 Cas. Decius, well urg'd : — I think it is 
 not meet, 
 Mark Antony, so well belov'd of Csesar, 
 Should outlive Cfesar : We shall find of him 
 A shrewd contriver; and, you know, his 
 
 means. 
 If he improves them, may well stretch so far, 
 As to annoy us all : which to prevent, 
 Let Antony, and Caesar, fall together.

 Bast. * * Knew you of this fair work? 
 Beyond the infinite and boundless reach 
 Of mercy, if thou didst this deed of death. 
 Art thou damn'd, Hubert. 
 * * 
 
 Ha ! I '11 tell thee what ; 
 Thou art damn'd as black — nay, nothing is 
 
 so black ; 
 Thou art more deep damn'd than prince 
 
 Lucifer : 
 There is not yet so ugly a fiend of hell 
 As thou slialt be, if thou didst kill this child.

 CRIMINALS.— Great, Easily Accused. 
 
 Glo. Presumptuous priest! this place 
 commands my patience. 
 Or thou should'st find thou hast dishonour'd 
 
 me. 
 Think not, although in writing I preferr'd 
 The manner of thy vile outrageous crimes, 
 That therefore I have forg'd, or am not able 
 Verbatim, to rehearse the method of my pen : 
 No, prelate ; such is thy audacious wicked- 
 ness. 
 Thy lewd, pestiferous, and dissentious 
 
 pranks, 
 As very infants prattle of thy pride. 
 Thou art a most pernicious usurer : 
 Froward by nature, enemy to peace ; 
 Lascivious, wanton, more than well be- 
 seems 
 A man of thy profession, and degree ; 
 , And for thy treachery, what 's more mani- 
 fest? 
 In that thou laid'st a trap to take my life, 
 As well at London bridge, as at the Tower? 
 
 Beside, I fear me, if thy thoughts were 
 sifted, 
 
 The king, thy sovereign, is not quite ex- 
 empt 
 
 From envious malice of thy swelling heart.

 Ant. It is shaped, sir, like itself; and it 
 is as broad as it hath breadth : it is just so 
 higli as it is, and moves with its own organs : 
 it lives by that which nourisheth it ; and the 
 elements once out of it, it transmigrates. 
 
 Lep. What colour is it of? 
 
 Ant. Of its own colour too. 
 
 Lep. 'T is a strange serpent. 
 
 A7it. 'T is so. And the tears of it are 
 wet.

 Re-purchas'd with the blood of enemies. 
 What valiant foe-men, like to autumn's 
 
 corn. 
 Have we mow'd down, in tops of all their

 Three dukes of Somerset, threefold re-

 For hardy and undoubted champions : 
 Two Cliffords, as the father and the son.

 CRUELTY. 
 
 And two Northumberlands ; two braver men 
 Ne'er spurr'd their coursers at the trumpet's 
 
 sound : 
 With them, the two brave bears, Warwick 
 
 and Montague, 
 That in their chains fetter'd the kingly lion, 
 And made the forest tremble when they 
 
 roar'd. 
 Thus have we swept suspicion from our seat, 
 And made our footstool of security. — 
 Come hither, Bess, and let me kiss my 
 
 boy: — 
 Young Ned, for thee, thine uncles, and my- 
 self. 
 Have in our armours watch'd the winter's 
 
 night ; 
 Went all a-foot in summer's scalding heat. 
 That thou might'st repossess the crown in 
 
 peace ; 
 And of our labours thou shalt reap the gain.

 How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown ;

 Why do we linger thus? I cannot rest. 
 Until the white rose, that I wear, be dyed 
 Even in the lukewarm blood of Henry's

 CRUELTY.— Easily Punished. 
 
 Bast. If thou didst but consent 
 
 To this most cruel act, do but despair, 
 And, if thou want'st a cord, the smallest 
 
 thread 
 That ever spider twisted from her womb 
 Will serve to strangle thee ; a rush will be 
 A beam to hang thee on ; or would'st thou 
 
 drown thyself, 
 Put but a little water in a spoon. 
 And it shall be as all the ocean. 
 Enough to stifle such a villain up.

 he be set against a brick wall, the sun look-

 Dem. Listen, fair madam : Let it be

 To see her tears, but be your heai-t to them 
 As unrelenting flint to drops of rain. 
 
 Lav. When did the tiger's young ones 
 teach the dam? 
 O, do not learn her wrath ; she taught it 
 
 thee : 
 The milk, thou suck'dst from her, did turn 
 
 to marble ; 
 Even at thy teat thou hadst thy tyranny. — 
 Yet everj' mother breeds not sons alike ; 
 Do thou entreat her show a woman pity.

 'T is true ; the raven doth not hatch a lark :

 Be not obdurate, open thy deaf ears. 
 
 Tarn. Had thou in person ne'er offended 
 me, 
 Even for his sake am I pitiless : — 
 Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in 
 
 vain. 
 To save your brother from the sacrifice ; 
 But fierce Andronicus would not relent. 
 Therefore away with her, and use her as 
 
 you will ; 
 The worse to her, the better lov'd of me. 
 
 Lav. O Tamora, be call'd a gentle queen, 
 And with thine own hands kill me in this 
 
 place : 
 For 't is not life, that I have begged so long ; 
 Poor I was slain, when Bassianus died. 
 Tain. What begg'st thou then; fond 
 
 woman, let me go. 
 Lav. 'T is present death I beg ; and one 
 thing more, 
 That M'omanliood denies my tongue to tell : 
 O, keep me from their worse than killing 
 
 lust. 
 And tumble me into some loathsome pit ; 
 AVhere never man's eye may behold my

 Do this, and be a charitable murderer.

 CUNNING.— With Power, Dangerous. 
 
 Buck. To the king'I '11 say 't ; and make 
 my vouch as strong 
 As shore of rock. Attend. This holy fox, 
 Or wolf, or both, (for he is equal ravenous. 
 As he is subtle ; and as prone to mischief. 
 As able to perform it : his mind and place 
 Infecting one another, yea, reciprocally,) 
 Only to show his pomp as well in France 
 As here at home, suggests the king our 
 master 
 
 To this last costly treaty, the interview. 
 That swallow'd so much treasure, and like 
 
 a glass 
 Did break i' the rinsing. 
 
 Nor. 'Faith, and so it did. 
 
 Buck. Pray,* give me favour, sir. This 
 
 cunning cardinal 
 The articles o' the combination drew, 
 As himself pleas'd ; and they were ratified. 
 As he cried. Thus let be : to as much end, 
 As give a crutch to the dead : But our 
 
 count-cardinal 
 Has done this, and 't is well ; for worthy 
 
 Wolsey, 
 Who cannot err, he did it. Now this fol- 
 lows, 
 (Which, as I take it, is a kind of puppy 
 To the old dam, treason,) — Charles the 
 
 emperor. 
 Under pretence to see the queen his aunt, 
 (For 't was, indeed, his colour ; but he came 
 To whisper Wolsey,) here makes visitation : 
 His fears were, that the interview, betwixt 
 England and France, might, through their 
 
 amity, 
 Breed him some prejudice ; for from this 
 
 league 
 Peep'd harms that menac'd him : He privily 
 Deals with our cardinal; and, as I trow, — 
 Which I do Avell ; for, I am sure, the em- 
 peror 
 Paid ere he promis'd ; whereby his suit was 
 
 granted. 
 Ere it was ask'd; — but when the way was 
 
 made, 
 And pav'd with gold, the emperor thus de- 
 
 sir'd; — 
 That he would please to alter the king's 
 
 course. 
 And break the foresaid peace. Let the king 
 
 know, 
 (As soon he shall by me,) that thus the 
 
 cardinal 
 Does buy and sell his honour as he pleases. 
 And for his own advantage.

 And be thy wife (if any be so mad)

 Than thou hast made me by my dear lord's

 Lo, ere I can repeat this curse again. 
 Even in so short a space, my woman's heart 
 Grossly grew captive to his honey words, 
 And prov'd the subject of mine own soul's

 Which ever since hath held mine eyes from 
 
 rest; 
 For never yet one hour in his bed 
 Did I enjoy the golden dew of sleep, 
 But with his timorous dreams was still

 Besides, he hates me for my father War-

 And will, no doubt, shortly be rid of me.

 stay a Avhile, 
 And teach me how to curse mine enemies. 
 Q. Mar. Forbear to sleep the night, and 
 fast the day ; 
 Compare dead happiness with living woe ; 
 Think that thy babes were fairer than they 
 
 were, 
 And he, that slew them, fouler than he is : 
 Bettering thy loss makes the bad-causer 
 
 worse ; 
 Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. 
 Q. Eliz. My words are dull, 0, quicken 
 them with thine ! 
 
 Poor breathing orators of miseries ! 
 
 Let them have scope : though what they do 
 
 impart 
 Help nothing else, yet do they ease the heart. 
 Duch. If so, then be not tongue-ty'd : 
 
 go with me. 
 And in the breath of bitter words let 's 
 
 smother 
 My damned son, that thy two sweet sons 
 
 smother'd.

 CUSTOM.— Makes Flint Down. 
 
 0th. The tyrant custom, most grave sen-

 Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war 
 My thrice-driven bed of down : I do agnize 
 A natural and prompt alacrity, 
 I find in hardness ; and do undertake 
 These present wars against the Ottomites.

 DEATH.— A Debt. 
 
 Fal. Hal, if thou see me down in the 
 battle, and bestride me, so ; 't is a point of 
 friendship. 
 
 P. lien. Nothing but a colossus can do 
 thee that friendship. Say thy prayers, and 
 farewell. 
 
 Fal. I would it were bed-time, Hal, and 
 all well. 
 
 P. Hen. Why, thou owest God a death.

 Died he not in his bed? where should he die? 
 Can I make men live, whe'r they will or no? 
 
 ! torture me no more, I will confess. — 
 Alive again? then show me where he is ; 
 
 1 'II give a thousand pound to look upon 
 
 him. — 
 
 He hath no eyes, the dust hath blinded 
 them. — 
 
 Comb down his hair ; look ! look ! it stands 
 upright, 
 
 Like lime-twigs set to catch my winged 
 soul ! — 
 
 Give me some drink ; and bid tlie apothe- 
 cary 
 
 Bring the strong poison that I bought of 
 him. 
 K. Hen. thou eternal Mover of the 
 heavens, 
 
 Look with a gentle eye upon this wretch ! 
 
 0, beat away the busy meddling fiend. 
 
 That Jays strong siege unto this wretch's 
 soul, 
 
 And from his bosom purge this black de- 
 spair !

 sink !

 — A Great Disguiser. 
 
 Dxike. O, death 's a great disguiser : and 
 you may add to it. Shave the head, and tie 
 the beard ; and say, it was the desire of the 
 penitent to be so bar'd before his death. You 
 know the course is common.

 Mess. My liege, her ear

 Your noble mother : And, as I hear, my

 The lady Constance in a frenzy died 
 Three days before.

 Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass.

 When death's approach is seen so terrible !

 Arv. * * The bird is dead,

 Than to have seen this.

 Vaux. * * Beaufort is at point of 
 death : 
 For suddenly a grievous sickness took him, 
 That makes him gasp, and stare, and catch 
 
 the air. 
 Blaspheming God, and cursing men on earth. 
 
 Sometime, he talks as if duke Humphrey's 
 
 ghost 
 Were by his side ; sometime, he calls the 
 
 king. 
 And whispers to his pillow, as to him. 
 The secrets of his overcharged soul : 
 And I am sent to tell his majesty. 
 That even now he cries aloud for him.

 — Changes Everything. 
 
 Cajj. All things, that we ordained festi- 
 val. 
 Turn from their office to black funeral : 
 Our instruments, to melancholy bells ; 
 Our wedding cheer, to a sad burial feast ; 
 Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change ; 
 Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse. 
 And all things change them to the contrary.

 Not sick, although I have to do with death ; 
 But lusty, young, and cheerly drawing 
 breath. 
 
 R. II., 1 : 3. 688. 
 
 — Counterfeit. 
 
 Fal. Counterfeit? I lie, I am no coun- 
 terfeit : To die, is to be a counterfeit ; for 
 he is but the counterfeit of a man, who hath 
 not the life of a man : but to counterfeit 
 dying, wlien a man thereby liveth, is to be 
 no counterfeit, but the true and perfect im- 
 age of life indeed. The better part of val- 
 our is — discretion ; in tlie which better part, 
 I have saved my life.

 And put my eye-balls in thy vaulty brows ; 
 And ring these fingers with thy household

 And stop this gap of breath with fulsome

 And be a carrion monster like thyself: 
 Come, grin on me ; and I will think thou

 Foretell the ending of mortality.

 Tal. * * 
 Triumphant death, smear'd with captivity! 
 Young Talbot's A^alour makes me smile at 
 
 thee: — 
 When he perceiv'd me shrink, and on my 
 
 knee, 
 His bloody sword he brandish'd over me. 
 And, like a hungry lion, did commence 
 Rough deeds of rage, and stern impatience ; 
 But when my angry guardant stood alone, 
 Tend'ring my ruin, and assail'd of none, 
 Dizzy-ey'd furj^, and great rage of heart. 
 Suddenly made him from my side to start 
 
 Into the clust'ring battle of the French ; 
 And in that sea of blood my boy did drench 
 His overmounting spirit ; and there died.

 That bloodily did yawn upon his face ; 
 
 And cries aloud, — " Tarry, dear cousin Suf-

 My soul shall thine keep company to heav-

 Tarry, sweet soul, for mine, then fly 
 a-breast ; 
 
 As, in this glorious and well-foughten field, 
 
 We kept together in our chivalry ! "

 So he did turn, and over SuiFolk's neck 
 He threw his wovmded arm, and kiss'd his

 A testament of noble-ending love.

 But you are more inhuman, more inexora-

 See, ruthless queen, a hapless father's tears : 
 This cloth thou dipp'dst in blood of my 
 
 sweet boy. 
 And I with tears do wash the blood away. 
 Keep thou the napkin, and go boast of this : 
 * * 
 
 North. Had he been slaughter-man to 
 all my kin, 
 I should not for my life but weep with him, 
 To see how inly sorrow gripes his soul. 
 Q. Mar. What, weeping-ripe, my lord 
 Northumberland ? 
 Think but upon the wrong he did us all. 
 And that will quickly dry thy melting tears. 
 Clif. Here 's for my oath, here 's for my 
 father's death. \^Stabbing him. 
 
 Q. Mar. And here 's to right our gentle- 
 hearted king. \^Stabbing him. 
 York. Open thy gate of mercy, gracious 
 God! 
 My soul flies through these wounds to seek 
 out thee.

 York gates ; 
 So York may overlook the town of York.

 things 
 Are mortis'd and adjoin'd; which, when it

 Attends the boist'rous ruin. Never alone

 To-day, my lord of Amiens and myself 
 
 Did steal behind him, as he lay along 
 Under an oak, whose antique root peeps out 
 Upon the brook that brawls along this wood : 
 To the which place a poor sequester'd stag. 
 That from the hunter's aim had ta'en a hurt. 
 Did come to languish ; and, indeed, my lord, 
 The wretched animal heav'd forth such 
 
 groans. 
 That their discharge did stretch his leathern 
 
 coat 
 Almost to bursting ; and the big round tears 
 Cours'd one another down his innocent nose 
 In piteous chase : and thus the hairy fool, 
 Much marked of the melancholy Jaques, 
 Stood on th' extremest verge of the swift 
 
 brook. 
 Augmenting it with tears.

 thought not good to bruise an injury, till it 
 were full ripe: — now we speak upon our 
 cue, and our voice is imperial : England 
 shall repent his folly, see his weakness, and 
 admire our sufferance. Bid him, therefore, 
 consider of his ransom; which must pro- 
 portion the losses we have borne, the sub- 
 jects we have lost, the disgrace Ave have 
 digested ; which, in weight to reanswer, his 
 pettishness would bow under. For our 
 losses, his exchequer is too poor; for the 
 effusion of blood, the muster of his king- 
 dom too tixint a number ; and for our dis- 
 grace, his own person, kneeling at our feet, 
 but a weak and worthless satisfaction. To

 Cade. Nay, that I mean to do. Is not 
 this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of 
 an innocent lamb should be made parch-

 did but seal once to a thing, and I was never 
 mine own man since.

 For death, for fine, or banishment, then let

 dung for sallets ; swallows the old rat, and 
 the ditch-dog; drinks the green mantle of 
 the standing pool; who is whipped from 
 tything to tything, and stocked, punished, 
 and imprisoned ; who hath had three suits 
 to his back, six shirts to his body, horse to 
 ride, and weapon to Avear, — 
 
 But mice, and rats, and such small deer, 
 Have been Tom's food for seven long year.

 But poverty could never draw them from

 That they may have their wages duly paid

 And something over to remember me by ; 
 If heaven had pleased to have given me 
 
 longer life, 
 And able means, we had not parted thus. 
 These are the whole contents : — And, good 
 
 my lord, 
 By that you love the dearest in this world. 
 As you wish Christian peace to souls de-

 Stand these poor people's friend, and urge 
 
 the king 
 To do me this last right.

 DEPENDENCE.— Mutual. 
 
 3Ien. There was a time when all the

 Rebell'd against the belly ; thus accus'd it : — 
 That only like a gulf it did remain

 Still cupboarding the viand, never bearing 
 Like labour with the rest ; where the other 
 
 instruments 
 Did see, and hear, devise, instruct, walk, 
 
 feel. 
 And, mutually participate, did minister 
 Unto the appetite and affection common 
 Of the whole body.

 Comparative for your virtues, to be styl'd 
 
 The under-hangman of his kingdom; and 
 hated 
 
 For being preferr'd so well.

 DESERT. — Not a Measure.

 Take them in.

 I will, sir, flatter my sworn brother the

 't is a condition they account gentle : and 
 since the wisdom of their choice is rather 
 to have my hat than my heart, I will prac-

 Not learning more than the fond eye doth 
 
 teach. 
 Which pries not to th' interior, but, like the 
 
 martlet, 
 Builds in the weather on the outward wall. 
 Even in the force and road of casualty. 
 I will not choose what many men desire, 
 Because I will not jump with common

 And what I want, it boots not to complain.

 one that I brouglit up of a puppy ; one that 
 
 I sav'd from drowning, Avhcn three or four 
 of his blind brothers and sisters went to it ! 
 I have taught him — even as one would say 
 precisely. Thus I would teach a dog. I was 
 sent to deliver him, as a present to mistress 
 Silvia, from my master ; and I came no 
 sooner into the dining-chamber, but he steps 
 me to her trencher, and steals her capon's 
 leg. O, 't is a foul thing when a cur cannot 
 keep himself in all companies ! I would 
 have, as one should say, one that takes upon 
 him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, a 
 dog at all things. If I had not had more 
 wit than he, to take a fault upon me that he 
 did, I think verily lie had been liang'd for 't ; 
 sure as I live he had suffer'd for 't : you 
 shall judge. * * "Friend," quoth I, 
 "you mean to whip the dog?" "Ay, 
 marry, do I," quoth he. "You do him the 
 more wrong," quoth I; " 't was I did the 
 thing you wot of." He makes me no more 
 ado, but whips me out of the chamber. 
 How many masters would do this for his 
 servant? Nay, I '11 be sworn, I have sat in 
 the stocks for puddings he hath stol'n, oth- 
 erwise he had been executed : I have stood 
 on the piUory for geese he hath kill'd, oth-

 Is richly furnished with plate and gold ; 
 Basins, and ewers, to lave her dainty hands ; 
 My hangings all of Tyrian tapestry : 
 In ivory coffers I have stuff'd my crowns ; 
 In cypress chests my arras, counterpoints. 
 Costly apparel, tents, and canopies, 
 Fine linen, Turkey cushions boss'd with 
 
 pearl. 
 
 Valance of Venice gold in needlework. 
 Pewter and brass, and all things that belong 
 To house, or housekeeping : then, at my 
 
 farm, 
 I have a hundred milch-kine to the pail, 
 Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls. 
 And all things answerable to this portion.

 If I may have your daughter to my wife, 
 I '11 leave her houses three or four as good, 
 Within rich Pisa walls, as any one 
 Old signior Gremio has in Padua ; 
 Besides two thousand ducats by the year. 
 Of fruitful land, all which shall be her 
 
 jointure. 
 Gre. Two thousand ducats by the year 
 
 of land ! 
 My land amounts not to so much in all : 
 That she shall have ; besides an argosy 
 That now is lying in Marseilles' road.

 Tra. Gremio, 't is known my father 
 
 hath no less 
 Than three great argosies ; besides two gal- 
 
 liasses. 
 And twelve tight galleys : these I will as- 
 sure her. 
 And twice as much, whate'er thou offer'st 
 
 next. 
 Gre. Nay, I have offer'd all ; I have no 
 
 more ; 
 And she can have no more than all I have. 
 If you like me, she shall have me and mine.

 3Ier. O tlien, I see. Queen Mab hath 
 been with you. 
 She is the fairies' midwife; and she comes 
 
 In shape no bigger than an agate-stone 
 On the forefinger of an alderman, 
 Drawn with a team of little atomies 
 Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep : 
 
 Her waggon-spokes made of long spinners' 
 
 legs; 
 The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers ; 
 The traces, of the smallest spider's web ; 
 The collars, of the moonshine's wat'ry 
 
 beams : 
 
 Her whip, of cricket's bone ; the lash, of 
 film; 
 
 Her waggoner, a small grej'--coated gnat, 
 
 Not half so big as a round little worm 
 
 Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid : 
 
 Her chariot is an empty hazel nut, 
 
 Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub. 
 
 Time out of mind the fairies' coach-makers. 
 
 And in this state she gallops night by night 
 
 Through lovers' brains, and then they dream 
 
 of love : 
 On courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies 
 
 straight ; 
 O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream 
 
 on fees : 
 O'er ladies' lips, Avho straight on kisses 
 
 dream ; 
 Which oft the angry Mab with blisters 
 
 plagues. 
 Because their breaths with sweet-meats 
 
 tainted are. 
 
 Sometimes she gallops o'er a courtier's nose. 
 
 And then dreams he of smelling out a suit : 
 
 And sometimes comes she with a tithe-pig's 
 tail. 
 
 Tickling a parson's nose as 'a 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 liealths 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.

 Therefore he sends to know your lordship's

 And make pursuit, where he did mean no

 Calphurnia here, my wife, stays me at home : 
 She dreamt to-night she saw my statue. 
 Which like a fountain, with a hundred 
 
 spouts. 
 Did run pure blood ; and many lusty Eo- 
 
 mans 
 Came smiling, and did bathe their hands in 
 
 it. 
 And these does she apply for warnings, por- 
 tents, 
 And evils imminent ; and on her knee 
 Hath begg'd, that I will stay at home to-day. 
 Dec. This dream is all amiss interpreted ; 
 It was a vision fair and fortunate : 
 Your statue spouting blood in many pipes. 
 In which so many smiling Romans bath'd. 
 Signifies that from you great Rome shall 
 
 suck 
 Reviving blood ; and that great men shall 
 
 press 
 Tor tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance. 
 This by Calphurnia's dream is signified.

 Gru. I confess the cape. 
 
 Tai. " With a trunk sleeve ; " 
 
 Gru. I confess two sleeves. 
 
 Tai. "The sleeves curiously cut." 
 
 Pet. Ay, there 's the villany. 
 
 Gru. Error i' the bill, sir; error i' the 
 bill ! I commanded the sleeves should be 
 cut out, and sew'd up again : and that I '11 
 prove upon thee, though thy little finger be 
 armed in a thimble.

 DRIFTING.— In Character. 
 
 C(ss. I should have known no less : — 
 
 It hath been taught us from the primal 
 
 state. 
 That he, which is, was wish'd, until he 
 
 were ; 
 
 And the ebb'd man, ne'er lov'd, till ne'er 
 worth love, 
 
 Comes dear'd, by being lack'd. This com- 
 mon body. 
 
 Like to a vagabond flag upon the stream. 
 
 Goes to and back, lackeying the varying tide. 
 
 To rot itself with motion.

 DRINK.— The Cause of Quarrels. 
 
 lago. If I can fasten but one cup upon 
 
 him. 
 With that which he hath drunk to-night 
 
 already. 
 He '11 be as full of quarrel and offence 
 As ray young mistress' dog. Now, my sick 
 
 fool, Roderigo, 
 Whom love has turn'd almost the Avrong 
 
 side out. 
 To Desdemona hath to-night carous'd 
 Potations pottle deep ; and he 's to Avatch : 
 Three lads of Cyprus, — noble swelling 
 
 spirits, 
 That hold their honours in a wary distance. 
 The very elements of this warlike isle, — 
 Have I to-night fluster'd with flowing cups. 
 And they watch too. Now, 'raongst this 
 
 flock of drunkards. 
 Am I to put our Cassio in some action. 
 
 0., 11: 3. 1504. 
 
 — The Temptation. 
 
 Por. Therefore, for fear of the worst, I 
 pray thee set a deep glass of Rhenish wine 
 on the contrary casket : for, if the devil be 
 within, and that temptation Avithout, I know 
 he will choose it. I will do anything, Ne- 
 rissa, ere I will be married to a sponge.

 Sir. To. With drinking healths to my

 He 's a coward, and a coystril, that Avill not

 So full of valour, that they smote the air 
 For breathing in their faces ; beat the ground 
 For kissing of their feet.

 DRONE.— Used to Destroy. 
 
 Shy. * * A huge feeder, 
 Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day 
 More than the wild cat : drones hive not

 To one that I would have him help to Avaste 
 His borrow'd purse.

 Queen. * * Your sister 's drown'd, 
 
 Laertes. 
 Laer. Drown'd! O, where? 
 Queen. There is a willow grows aslant a 
 
 brook, 
 That sliows his hoar leaves in the glassy 
 
 stream ; 
 There, with fantastic garlands did she come, 
 Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long 
 
 purples. 
 That liberal shepherds give a grosser name. 
 But our cold maids do dead men's fingers 
 
 call them : 
 There on the pendent boughs her coronet 
 
 weeds 
 Clambering 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 indu'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. 
 
 Laer. Alas, then, she is drown'd? 
 
 Queen. Drown'd, drown'd. 
 Laer. Too much of water hast thou, 
 poor Ophelia, 
 And therefore I forbid my tears : But yet 
 It is our trick ; nature her custom holds. 
 Let shame say what it will.

 DRUNKARD.— A Beast.

 Grim death, how foul and loathsome is thine 
 
 image ! 
 Sirs, I will practice on this drunken man. 
 
 T. S., Ind. 451. 
 
 —What He is Like. 
 
 01%. What's a drunken man like, fool? 
 
 Clo. Like a droAvn'd man, a fool, and a 
 madman ; one draught above heat makes 
 him a fool; the second mads him; and a 
 third drowns him. 
 
 T. N., 1 : 5. 545. 
 
 —Without His Bottle. 
 
 Cal. What a pi'd ninny 's this ! Thou 
 scurvy patch I — 
 I do beseech thy greatness, give him blows. 
 And take his bottle from him : when that 's 
 
 gone. 
 He shall drink nought but brine ; for I '11

 Where the quick freshes are.

 Upon malicious bravery, dost thou come

 0., 1 : 1. 1492.

 Cas. I Avill ask him for my place again ; 
 he shall tell me, I am a drunkard ! Had I 
 as many mouths as Hydra, such an answer 
 would stop them all. To be now a sensible 
 man, by and by a fool, and jiresently a 
 beast! O strange! — Every inordinate cup 
 is unblessed, and the ingredient is a devil. 
 
 lago. Come, come, good wine is a good 
 familiar creature, if it be well used ; ex- 
 claim no more against it. And, good lieu- 
 tenant, I think, you think I love you. 
 
 Cas. I have well approved it, sir. — I 
 drunk ! 
 
 lago. You, or any man living, may be 
 drunk at some time, man. 
 
 0., II : 3. 1507. 
 
 — Its Vileness. 
 
 Cas. I remember a mass of things, but 
 nothing distinctly; a quarrel, but nothing 
 wherefore. — O, that men should put an 
 enemy in their mouths, to steal away their 
 brains ! that we should, with joy, revel, 
 pleasure, and applause, transform ourselves 
 into beasts ! 
 
 lago. Why, but you are now well 
 enough: How came you thus recovered? 
 
 Cas. It hath pleased the devil, drunken- 
 ness, to give place to the devil, wrath : one 
 unperfectness shows me another, to make 
 me frankly despise myself.

 Biron. Ay, if 'a have no more man's 
 blood in 's belly than will sup a flea. 
 
 Arm. By the north pole, I do challenge 
 thee. 
 
 Cost. I will not fight with a pole, like 
 a northern man ; I '11 slash ; I '11 do it by 
 the sword. — I pray you, let me borrow my 
 arms again. 
 
 Dum. Room for the incensed Worthies. 
 
 Cost. I '11 do it in my shirt. 
 
 Dum,. Most resolute Pompey ! 
 
 Moth. Master, let me take j'ou a button- 
 hole lower. Do you not see, Pompey is 
 uncasing for the combat? What mean you? 
 you will lose your reputation. 
 
 Arm. Gentlemen, and soldiers, pardon 
 me ; I will not combat in my shirt. 
 
 Dum. You may not deny it; Pompey 
 hath made the challenge. 
 
 Arm. Sweet bloods, Ibothmay and will. 
 Z.L.,Y: 2. 302. 
 
 DUELIST. — Professional. 
 
 Sir To. He is a knight, dubbed with un- 
 backed rapier, and on carpet consideration ; 
 but he is a devil in private brawl ; souls and 
 bodies hath he divorced three ; and his in- 
 censement at this moment is so implacable, 
 that satisfaction can be none but by pangs 
 of death and sepulchre : hob-nob is his 
 word ; give 't, or take 't.

 EARNESTNESS. 
 
 DUNNING. — Unreasonableness of. 
 
 Tim. What, are my doors oppos'd 
 against my passage? 
 Have I ever been free, and must my house 
 Be my retentive enemy, my gaol? 
 The place, which I have feasted, does it 
 
 now, 
 Like all mankind, show me an iron heart? 
 Luc. Serv. Put in now, Titus. 
 Tit. My lord, here is my bill. 
 Luc. Serv. Here 's mine. 
 Hor. Serv. And mine, my lord. 
 Both Var. Serv. And ours, my lord. 
 Phi. All our bills. 
 
 Tim. Knock me down with 'em : cleave 
 me to the girdle. 
 
 Luc. Serv. Alas ! my lord, 
 
 TiTn. Cut my heart in sums. 
 Tit. Mine, fifty talents. 
 Tim. Tell out my blood.

 Tim,, rive thousand drops pays that. 
 
 What yours? — and yours ?

 DUTY.— All Embracing. 
 
 K. Hen. Every subject's duty is the 
 King's ; but every subject's soul is his own. 
 
 H. v., IV : 1. 842. 
 
 Mach. The service and the loyalty I 
 
 owe, 
 In doing it, pays itself. Your highness' 
 
 part 
 Is to receive our duties : and our duties 
 
 Are to your throne and state, children, and 
 
 servants ; 
 Which do but what they should, by doing 
 
 every thing 
 Safe toward your love and honour.

 EAGLE.— A Royal Bird.

 Stoop'd, as to foot us : his ascension is 
 More sweet than our bless'd fields : his 
 
 royal bird 
 Prunes the immortal wing, and cloys his

 As when his god is pleas'd.

 EARNESTNESS.— Makes Sacrifices. 
 
 Chor. Now all the youth of England are 
 on fire, 
 And silken dalliance in the wardrobe lies ; 
 Now thrive the armourers, and honour's 
 
 thought 
 Reigns solely in the breast of every man : 
 They sell the pasture now, to buy the horse ; 
 Following the mirror of all Christian kings, 
 With winged heels, as English Mercuries.

 Dear earth, I do salute tliee with my hand, 
 Though rebels wound thee with their horses'

 As a long parted mother, with her child 
 Plays fondly Avith her tears and smiles, in 
 
 meeting; 
 So, weeping, smiling, greet I thee, my earth, 
 And do thee favour with my royal hands. 
 Feed not thy sovereign's foe, my gentle 
 
 earth. 
 Nor with thy sweets comfort his rav'nous 
 
 sense : 
 But let thy spiders, that suck up thy venom. 
 And heavy-gaited toads lie in their way ; 
 Doing annoyance to the treacherous feet. 
 Which with usurping steps do trample thee. 
 Yield stinging nettles to mine enemies : 
 And when they from thy bosom pluck a 
 
 flower. 
 Guard it, I pray thee, with a lurking adder; 
 Whose double tongue may witli a mortal 
 
 touch 
 Throw death upon thy sovereign's enemies. 
 Mock not my senseless conjuration, lords; 
 This earth shall have a feeling, and these 
 
 stones 
 Prove arm'd soldiers, ere her native king 
 Shall falter under foul rebellious arms.

 the youth of the reahii, in erecting a gram- 
 mar-school : and whereas, before, our fore- 
 fathers had no other books but the score 
 and the tally, thou hast caused printing to 
 be used; and, contrary to the king, his 
 crown, and dignity, thou hast built a paper- 
 mill. It will be proved to thy face, that 
 thou hast men about thee, that usually talk 
 of a noun, and a verb ; and such abomina- 
 ble words, as no Christian ear can endure 
 to hear. Thou hast appointed justices of 
 peace, to call poor men before them about 
 matters they were not able to answer. 
 Moreover, thou hast put them in prison; 
 and because they could not read, tliou hast 
 hanged them ; when, indeed, only for that 
 cause they have been most worthy to live.

 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, 
 Eamiliar 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 honeyed sentences ; 
 So that the art and practic part of life 
 Must be the mistress to this theoric : 
 Which is a wonder, how his grace should 
 
 glean it. 
 Since his addiction was to courses vain : 
 His companies unletter'd, rude, and shal- 
 low ; 
 His hours fill'd up with riots, banquets,

 And never noted in him any study, 
 Any retirement, any sequestration 
 From open haunts and popularity.

 Hast thou not spirit to curse thine enemies? 
 Suf. A plague upon them! wherefore 
 
 should I curse them? 
 Would curses kill, as doth the mandrake's 
 
 groan, 
 I would invent as bitter-searching terms, 
 As curst, as harsh, and horrible to hear, 
 Deliver'd strongly through my fixed teeth, 
 With full as many signs of deadly hate, 
 As lean-fac'd Envy in her loathsome cave : 
 My tongue should stumble in mine earnest 
 
 words : 
 Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten 
 
 flint; 
 My hair be fix'd on end, as one distract; 
 Ay, every joint should seem to curse and 
 
 ban : 
 And even now my burden'd heart would 
 
 break, 
 Should I not curse tliem. Poison be their 
 
 drink ! 
 Gall, worse than gall, the daintiest that they 
 
 taste ! 
 Their sweetest shade, a grove of cypress 
 
 trees ! 
 Tlieir chiefest prospect, murdering basil- 
 isks ! 
 Their softest touch, as smart as lizards' 
 
 stings ! 
 Their music, frightful as the serpent's hiss ; 
 And boding screech-owls malce the concert 
 
 full! 
 
 All the foul terrors in dark-seated hell 
 
 Q. Mar. Enough, sweet Suffolk. * * 
 Suf. You bade me ban, and will you bid 
 
 me leave? 
 Now, by the ground that I am banish'd from. 
 Well could I curse away a winter's night. 
 Though standing naked on a mountain top, 
 Where biting cold would never let grass 
 
 grow, 
 And think it but a minute spent in sport.

 to see the semblable coherence of his men's

 bear themselves like foolish justices ; he, 
 by conversing with them, is turned into a 
 justice-like serving-man ; their spirits are so 
 married in conjunction Avith the participa- 
 tion of society, that they flock together in 
 consent, like so many wild-geese. If I had 
 
 a suit to master Shallow, I would humour 
 his men, with the imputation of being near 
 their master : if to his men, I would curry 
 with master Shallow, that no man could 
 better command his servants. It is certain,

 To weigh against his opposite ; or else,

 with a bush of thorns and a lantern, and say, 
 he comes to disfigure, or to present, the 
 person of moonshine. Then there is another 
 thing : we must have a wall in the great 
 chamber ; for Pyramus and Thisby, says 
 the story, did talk through the chink of a 
 wall. 
 
 Snug. You can never bring in a wall. — 
 What say you, Bottom?

 Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their 
 
 harm ? 
 Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet 
 
 Puck, 
 You do their work, and they shall have good 
 
 luck : 
 
 Are you not he? 
 
 Puck. Thou speak'st aright; 
 
 I am that merry wanderer of the night. 
 I jest to Oberon, and make him smile, 
 When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, 
 Neighing in likeness of a filly foal : 
 And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl. 
 In very likeness of a roasted crab ; 
 And, when she drinks, against her lips I 
 
 bob. 
 And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. 
 The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, 
 Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me ; 
 Then slip I from her bum, down topples she ; 
 And "Tailor" cries, and falls into a cough ; 
 And tlicn the whole quire hold their hips and 
 
 loffe, 
 And waxen in their mirth, and necze, and 
 
 swear 
 A merrier hour was never wasted there.

 But, to prevent the tyrant's violence,

 fraud.

 That faith would live again by death of

 O, then, tread down my need, and faith 
 
 mounts up ; 
 
 Keep my need up, and faith is trodden 
 
 down.

 FAITHLESS.— Not to be Trusted. 
 
 Ther. That same Diomed 's a false- 
 hearted rogue, a most unjust knave; I 
 will no more trust him wlien he leers, than 
 I will a serpent when he hisses : he will 
 spend his mouth, and promise, like Brabler 
 the hound ; but when he performs, astrono- 
 mers foretell it : it is prodigious, there will 
 come some change ; the sun borrows of the 
 moon, when Diomed keeps his word.

 To eat those little darlings whom they lov'd. 
 So sharp are hunger's teeth, that man and

 Draw lots, who first shall die to lengthen

 He bears too great a mind. But this same

 Must end that work, the ides of March

 And whether we shall meet again, I know

 Therefore our everlasting farewell take : —

 If we do meet again, why we shall smile ; 
 If not, why then this parting was well made.

 Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff. 
 That beetles o'er his base into the sea. 
 And there assume some other horrible form. 
 Which might deprive your sovereignty of

 And draw you into madness? think of it :

 Without more motive, into every brain. 
 That looks so many fathoms to the sea. 
 And hears it roar beneath.

 Men into such strange mysteries?

 Though they be never so ridiculous. 
 Nay, let them be unmanly, yet are follow'd. 
 Cham. As far as I see, all the good our 
 English 
 Have got by the late A'oyage, is but merely 
 A fit or two o' the face ; but they are shrewd 
 
 ones ; 
 For when they hold them, you would swear 
 
 directly. 
 Their very noses had been counsellors 
 To Pepin, or Clotharius, they keep state so. 
 Sands. They have all new legs, and 
 lame ones ; one would take it, 
 That never saw them pace before, the

 More womanly than he : hardly gave au-

 FAWNING.— Fatal with the Noble. 
 
 3Iet. Most high, most mighty, and most 
 puissant Caesar, 
 
 Metellus Cimber throws before thy seat 
 
 An humble heart : — 
 
 Cas. I must prevent thee, Cimber. 
 
 These crouchings, and these lowly court- 
 esies. 
 
 Might fire the blood of ordinary men; 
 
 And turn pre-ordinance, and first decree. 
 
 Into the law of children. Be not fond. 
 
 To think that Ctesar bears such rebel blood. 
 
 That will be thaw'd from the true quality 
 
 With that which melteth fools ; I mean, 
 sweet words. 
 
 Low-crooked curt'sies, and base spaniel 
 fawning. 
 
 Thy brother by decree is banished ; 
 
 If thou dost bend, and pray, and fawn for 
 him, 
 
 I spiirn thee like a cur out of my way.

 FEAR.— A Fat Man's. 
 
 P. Hen. Got Avith much case. Noav 
 
 merrily to horse : 
 The thieves are scatter'd, and possess'd 
 
 with fear 
 So strongly, that they dare not meet each 
 
 other ; 
 Each takes his fellow for an officer. 
 Away, good Ned. EalstafF sweats to death.

 Rosse. * * J dare not speak much 
 
 further : 
 But cruel are the times, when we are 
 
 traitors, 
 And do not know ourselves ; when we hold 
 
 rumour 
 From what we fear, yet know not what we 
 
 fear; 
 But float upon a wild and violent sea, 
 Each way, and move.

 Bur. I trust, the ghost of Talbot is not

 Now he is gone, my lord, you need not fear.

 Lady M. O proper stuff! 
 
 This is the very painting of your fear : 
 This is the air-drawn dagger, which, you 
 
 said, 
 Led you to Duncan. 0, these flaws, and 
 
 starts, 
 (Impostors to true fear,) would well become 
 A woman's story, at a winter's fire, 
 Authoriz'd by her grandam.

 Thy buried fear ; herein all breathless lies 
 The mightiest of thy greatest enemies. 
 
 Ji. II., V : 6. 718. 
 
 — Causes Defeat and Death. 
 
 Car. My lord, wise men ne'er wail their 
 present woes, 
 But presently prevent the ways to wail. 
 
 To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth 
 
 strength, 
 Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your 
 
 foe. 
 And so your follies fight against yourself. 
 Fear, and be slain ; no worse can come, to 
 
 fight; 
 
 And fight and die, is death destroying death ; 
 
 Where fearing dying, pays death servile 
 
 breath. 
 
 B. II., Ill: 2. 702.

 3Iacb. Go, prick thy face, and over-red

 Death of thy soul ! those linen cheeks of 
 
 thine 
 Are counsellors to fear. What soldiers, 
 whey-face? 
 
 31., V : 3. 1382. 
 
 — Disclaimed. 
 
 Ham. Why, what should be the fear? 
 
 I do not set my life at a pin's fee ; 
 And, for my soul, what can it do to that, 
 Being a thing immortal as itself? 
 
 H., 1 : 4. 1399. 
 
 Macb. * * Then fly, false thanes. 
 
 And mingle with the English epicures :

 Hor. Two nights together had these gen- 
 tlemen, 
 Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch. 
 In the dead waist and middle of the night. 
 Been thus encounter 'd. A figure like your 
 
 father. 
 Armed at point, exactly, cap-a-pe, 
 Appears before them, and, with solemn 
 
 march, 
 Goes slow and stately by them : thrice he 
 walk'd, 
 
FEAR.

 FEAR. 
 
 By their oppress 'd and fear-surprised eyes, 
 Within his truncheon's length ; whilst they, 
 
 distill'd 
 Almost to jelly with the act of fear, 
 Stand dumb, and speak not to him.

 Bast. How I have sped among the cler- 
 gymen, 
 The sums I have collected shall express. 
 But, as I travelled hither through the land, 
 I find the people strangely fantasied ; 
 Possess'd with rumors, full of idle dreams ; 
 Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear.

 Con. This becomes the great. 
 
 Sorry am I, his numbers are so few, 
 His soldiers sick, and famish'd in their

 For, I am sure, when he shall see our army, 
 He '11 drop his heart into the sink of fear. 
 And for achievement, offer us his ransom.

 Dion. Be one of those, that think

 And of how cow'd a spirit.

 That hath so cowarded and chas'd your

 Out of appearance? 
 
 H. v., II : 2. 827. 
 
 — Its Blinding Power. 
 
 Tro. Fears make devils cherubims ; they 
 never see truly. 
 
 Cres. Blind fear that seeing reason leads, 
 finds safer footing than blind reason stum- 
 bling without fear : To fear the worst, oft 
 cures the worst. 
 
 T. C, III : 2. 1121.

 My heart beats thicker than a feverous

 Tal. My thoughts are whirled like a 
 
 potter's wheel ; 
 I know not where I am, nor what I do : 
 A witch, by fear, not force, like Hannibal, 
 Drives back our troops, and conquers as 
 
 she lists : 
 So bees with smoke, and doves with noisome

 FEARS.— Horrible Imaginings Worse. 
 
 Macb. * * 
 This supernatural soliciting 
 Cannot be ill ; cannot be good : — If ill. 
 Why hath it given me earnest of success. 
 Commencing in a truth? I am thane of 
 
 Cawdor : 
 If good, why do I yield to that suggestion 
 Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair. 
 And make my seated heart knock at my ribs. 
 Against the use of nature? Present fears 
 Are less than horrible imaginings : 
 My thought, whose murder yet is but fan- 
 tastical, 
 Shakes so my single state of man, that 
 
 function 
 Is smother'd in surmise ; and nothing is. 
 But what is not.

 Invited lier to supper : she replied, 
 
 It should be better, he became her guest ; 
 
 Which she entreated : Our courteous An-

 Whom ne'er the word of "No" woman

 Being barber'd ten times o'er, goes to the

 And, for his ordinary, pays his heart, 
 
 For what his eyes eat only.

 FEIGNING.— An Actor's, Perfect. 
 
 Glo. Come, cousin, canst thou quake,

 Murder thy breath in middle of a word, — 
 And then again begin, and stop again. 
 As if tliou wert distraught, and mad with 
 
 terror? 
 Buck. Tut, I can counterfeit the deep 
 
 tragedian ; 
 Speak, and look back, and pry on erery side. 
 Tremble and start at wagging of a straw, 
 Intending deep suspicion : ghastly looks 
 Are at my service, like enforced smiles ; 
 And both are ready in their offices. 
 At any time, to grace my stratagems.

 West. Mj' liege, this haste was hot in 
 question. 
 And many limits of the charge set down 
 But yesternight : when, all atliwart, there 
 
 came 
 A post from Wales, load en with heavy news ; 
 Whose worst was — that the noble Mortimer, 
 Leading the men of Herefordshire to fight 
 Against the irregular and wild Glendower, 
 Was by the rude hands of that Welshman 
 
 taken. 
 And a tliousand of his people butchered ; 
 Upon whose dead corps there was such mis- 
 use, 
 
 Such beastly, shameless transformation, 
 By those Welshwomen done, as may not be. 
 Without much shame, re-told or spoken of.

 Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments. 
 To wield old partizans, in hands as old, 
 Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd 
 
 hate : 
 If ever you disturb our streets again, 
 Yoiir lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. 
 For this time, all the rest depart away : 
 You, Capulet, shall go along with me ; 
 And, Montague, come you this afternoon. 
 To know our further pleasure in this case, 
 To old Free-town, our common judgment-

 Once more, on pain of death, all men depart.

 Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, 
 So soon forsaken? young men's love then 
 
 lies 
 Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. 
 Jesu 3Iaria ! what a deal of brine 
 Hath wash'd thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline ! 
 How much salt water thrown away in waste, 
 To season love, that of it doth not taste ! 
 The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven 
 
 clears. 
 Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears ; 
 Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit 
 Of an old tear that is not wash'd off yet : 
 If e'er thou wast thyself, and these woes 
 
 thine, 
 Thou and these woes were all for Rosaline ; 
 And art thou chang'd? pronounce this sen- 
 tence then — 
 Woman may fall, when there 's no strength

 CcBS. I could be well mov'd, if I were as 
 
 you; 
 If I could pray to move, prayers would 
 
 move me : 
 But I am constant as the northern star, 
 Of whose true-fixed, and resting quality. 
 There is no fellow in the firmament. 
 The skies are painted with unnumber'd 
 
 sparks. 
 They are all fire, and every one doth shine ; 
 But there 's but one in all doth hold his 
 
 place ; 
 So, in the world : 'T is furnish'd well with 
 
 men, 
 And men are flesh and blood, and appre- 
 hensive ; 
 Yet, in the number, I do know but one 
 That unassailable holds on his rank, 
 Unshak'd of motion : and, that I am he. 
 Let me a little show it, even in this ; 
 ■- That I was constant, Cimber should be ban- 
 
 ish'd. 
 And constant do remain to keep him so. 
 
 J. C, III : 1. 1336. 
 
 — Invoked. 
 
 Cor. The god of soldiers. 
 
 With the consent of supreme Jove, inform 
 Thy thoughts with nobleness ; that thou 
 
 may'st prove 
 To shame unvulnerable, and stick i' the 
 
 wars 
 Like a great sea-mark, standing every flaw. 
 And saving those that eye thee !

 FISHING.— Tricks in. 
 
 Clbo. * * 
 Give me mine angle, — We '11 to the river : 
 
 there. 
 My music playing far ofi", I will betray 
 Tawny-finn'd fishes ; my bended hook shall 
 
 pierce 
 Their slimy jaws ; and, as I draw them up, 
 I '11 think them every one an Antony, 
 And say, Ah, ah ! you 're caught. 
 
 Char. 'T was merry, when 
 
 You wager'd on your angling ; when your 
 
 diver 
 
 Did hang a salt fish on his hook, which he 
 
 With fervency drew up.

 FITNESS.— Of Cowards to Feasts. 
 
 Fal. Well, 
 To the latter end of a fray, and the begin- 
 ning of a feast, 
 Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.

 FLATTERER.- Relation to the Flat- 
 tered. 
 
 Apem. Yes, he is worthy of thee, and 
 to pay thee for thy labour : He, that loves 
 to be flattered, is worthy o' the flatterer. 
 Heavens, that I were a lord ! 
 
 T. A., 1 : 1. 1289. 
 
 FLATTERERS.— Led by Those Who 
 Hate Them. 
 
 Dec. Never fear that: If he be so re- 
 solv'd, 
 I can o'ersway him : for he loves to hear. 
 That unicorns may be betray'd M'ith trees, 
 And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, 
 Lions with toils, and men with flatterers : 
 But, when I tell him, he hates flatterers. 
 He says, he does ; being then most flattered.

 K. Rich. He does me double wrong, 
 
 That wounds me with the flatteries of liis 
 tongue. 
 
 72. J7.,III: 2. 703. 
 
 FLATTERY.— A Sin. (See TJnction.} 
 
 Glo. Good day, my lord ! What, at your 
 
 book so hard? 
 
 K. Hen. Ay, my g«od lord : My lord, I 
 
 should say rather; 
 
 'T is sin to flatter, good was little better : 
 
 Good Gloster, and good devil, were alike. 
 
 And both preposterous ; therefore, not good 
 
 lord. 
 
 H. VI., 3 pt., V : 6. 991.

 Brii. I do not like your faults. 
 
 Cas. A friendly eye could never see such 
 
 faults. 
 Bru. A flatterer's would not, though 
 they do appear 
 As huge as high Olympus. 
 
 J. C, IV : 3. 1345.

 Flav. ' * * 
 Ah ! when the means are gone, that buy

 The breath is gone whereof this praise is

 showers. 
 These flies are couch'd. 
 
 T.A.,ll: 2. 1296. 
 
 — Cruel After^^^rards. 
 
 Ant. Villains, you did not so, when your 
 
 vile daggers 
 
 Hack'd one another in the sides of Caesar : 
 
 You show'd your teeth like apes, and fawn'd 
 
 like hounds. 
 
 And bow'd like bondmen, kissing Ca3sar's 
 
 feet. 
 
 J. C, V : 1. 1348. 
 
 — Deafens Counsel. 
 
 Apetn. * * 
 If I should be brib'd too, there would be 
 
 none left 
 To rail upon thee ; and then thou would 'st 
 
 sin the faster. 
 Thou giv'st so long, Timon, I fear me thou 
 
 Wilt give away thyself in paper shortly ; 
 What need these feasts, pomps, and vain 
 glories ? 
 Tim. Nay, 
 
 An you begin to rail on society once, 
 I am sworn, not to give regard to you. 
 Farewell ; and come with better music. 
 
 Apevn. So ; — 
 
 Thou 'It not hear me now, — thou shalt not 
 
 then, I '11 lock 
 Thy heaven from thee, O, that men's ears 
 
 should be 
 To counsel deaf, but not to flattery ! 
 
 T. A., 1 : 2. 1298. 
 
 — Disclaimed. 
 
 Hot. Well said, my noble Scot : If speak- 
 ing truth. 
 In this fine age, were not tliought flattery, 
 Such attribution should the Douglas have, 
 As not a soldier of this season's stamp 
 Should go so general current through the 
 
 world. 
 By heaven, I cannot flatter ; I defy 
 The tongues of soothers ; but a braver place 
 In my heart's love, hath no man than your- 
 self: 
 Nay, task me to the word ; approve me, lord. 
 . ^. 7F., Ipt., IV: 1. 752. 
 
 — Distasteful. 
 
 Mar. Sir, praise me not : 
 
 My work hath yet not warm'd me : Fare you 
 
 well. 
 The blood I drop is rather physical 
 Than dangerous to me : To Aufidius thus 
 I will appear, and fight. 
 
 C, 1 : 5. 1156.

 Nor. Each day still better other's happi- 
 ness : 
 Until the heavens, envying earth's good hap.

 How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by 
 
 night, 
 Like softest music to attending ears ! 
 
 B. J., II : 2. 1253. 
 
 —Met by Flattery. 
 Apem. I was directed hither : Men re- 
 port, 
 
 Thou dost affect my manners, and dost use 
 them. 
 Tim. 'T is then, because thou dost not 
 keep a dog 
 
 Whom I would imitate : Consumption catch 
 thee! 
 Apem. This is in thee a nature but af- 
 fected ; 
 
 A poor unmanly melancholy, sprung 
 
 From change of fortune. Why this spade? 
 this place? 
 
 This slave-like habit? and these looks of 
 care? 
 
 Thy flatterers yet wear silk, drink wine, lie 
 soft; 
 
 Hug their diseas'd perfumes, and have for- 
 got 
 
 That ever Timon was. Shame not these 
 woods, 
 
 By putting on the cunnipg of a carper. 
 
 Be thou a flatterer now, and seek to tlirive 
 
 By that which has undone thee : hinge thy 
 knee. 
 
 And let his very breath, whom thou 'It ob- 
 serve. 
 
 Blow off thy cap ; praise his most vicious 
 strain, 
 
 And call it excellent : Thou wast told thus ; 
 
 Thou gav'st thine ears, like tapsters, that 
 bid welcome. 
 
 To knaves, and all approachers : 'T is most 
 just. 
 
 That thou turn rascal; liad'st thou wealth 
 again. 
 
 Rascals should have 't. Do not assume my 
 likeness. 
 
 T. A., IV : 3. 1307. 
 
 — No Sign of Love. 
 
 Pom. * * Lepidus flatters both. 
 Of both is flatter'd ; but he neither loves. 
 Nor either cares for him. 
 
 A. C, II : 1. 1547. 
 
 — Not for the Poor. 
 
 ITam. 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. 
 
 .ff;, III: 2. 1413. 
 
 — Rebuked. 
 
 K. Hen. You were ever good at sudden 
 commendations. 
 
 Bishop of Winchester. But know, I come 
 not 
 
 To hear such flattery now, and in my pres- 
 ence ; 
 
 They are too thin and bare to hide offences. 
 
 To me you cannot reach, you play the 
 spaniel, 
 
 And think with wagging of your tongue to 
 win me ; 
 
 But, whatso'er thou tak'st me for, I am sure. 
 
 Thou hast a cruel nature, and a bloody. 
 
 E. V1II.,V: 2. 1091. 
 
 — Reproof better. 
 
 Hel. * * 
 They do abuse the king, that flatter him : 
 For flattery is the bellows blows up sin ; 
 The thing the which is flatter'd, but a spark, 
 To which that breath gives heat and stronger 
 
 glowing ; 
 Whereas reproof, obedient, and in order. 
 Fits kings, as they are men, for they maj' 
 
 err.

 — Resented. 
 
 Pri7i. Good lord Boyet, my beauty, 
 
 though but mean. 
 Needs not the painted flourish of your praise. 
 Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye, 
 Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's 
 
 tongues : 
 I am less proud to hear you tell my worth. 
 Than you much willing to be counted wise 
 In spending your wit in the praise of mine.

 Chorus. * * Suppose, that you have

 Tlie well-appointed king at Hampton pier 
 Embark liis royalty ; and his brave fleet 
 With silken streamers the young Phoebus 
 
 fanning. 
 Play with your fancies ; and in them behold. 
 Upon the hempen tackle, ship-boys climb- 
 ing : 
 Hear the shrill whistle, which doth order 
 
 give 
 To sounds confus'd : behold the threaden 
 
 sails, 
 Borne with the invisible and creeping wind. 
 Draw the huge bottoms through the fur- 
 
 roAv'd sea, 
 Breasting the lofty surge : O, do but think, 
 You stand upon the rivage, and behold 
 A city on the inconstant billows dancing; 
 For so appears this fleet majestical. 
 Holding due course to Harfleur.

 FLIGHT.— A Family Dishonor. 
 
 John. Is my name Talbot? and am I 
 
 your son? 
 And shall I fly? O, if you love my mother, 
 Dishonour not her honourable name, 
 To make a bastard, and a slave of me : 
 The world will say — He is not Talbot's 
 
 blood, 
 That basely fled, when noble Talbot stood. 
 
 Tal. Fly, to revenge my death, if I be 
 
 slain. 
 John. He, that flies so, will ne'er return 
 
 again. 
 Tal. If we both stay, we both are sure 
 
 to die. 
 John. Then let me stay ; and, father, do 
 you fly : 
 Your loss is great, so your regard should be ; 
 My worth unknown, no loss is known in me. 
 Upon my death the French can little boast ; 
 In yours they will, in you all hopes are lost. 
 Flight cannot stain the honour you have 
 
 won; 
 But mine it will, that no exploit have done : 
 You fled for vantage every one will swear ; 
 But, if I bow, they '11 say — it was for fear. 
 There is no hope that ever I will stay. 
 If, the first hour, I shrink, and run away. 
 Here, on my knee, I beg mortality, 
 Rather than life preserv'd with infamy. 
 
 E. F/., lpt.,IV: 5. 888.

 Tro. Fly not; for, shouidst thou take

 Die. Thou dost miscall retire : 
 
 I do not fly ; but advantageous care 
 
 Withdrew me from the odds of multitude : 
 
 Have at thee !

 Whether it was his wisdom, or his fear. 
 L. Macd. Wisdom ! to leave his wife, 
 
 to leave his babes. 
 His mansion, and his titles, in a place 
 From whence himself does fly? He loves 
 
 us not; 
 He wants the natural touch : for the poor 
 
 wren, 
 The most diminutive of birds, will fight. 
 Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. 
 All is the fear, and nothing is the love ; 
 As little is the wisdom, where the flight 
 So runs against all reason.

 That arrows fled not sAvifter toward their

 Than did our soldiers, aiming at their safety, 
 Fly from the field : Then was that noble 
 
 Worcester 
 Too soon ta'en prisoner.

 To give the enemy way ; and to secure us

 If you be ta'en, we then should see the bot- 
 tom 
 Of all our fortunes : but if we haply scape, 
 (As well we may, if not through your neg-

 Shal. Death is certain. — Is old Double 
 of your town living yet? 
 
 Sil. Dead, sir. 
 
 Shal. Dead ! — see, see ! — he drew a 
 good bow ; — And dead ! — he shot a fine 
 shoot : — John of Gaunt loved him well, and 
 betted much money on his head. Dead ! — 
 he would have clapped i' the clout at twelve 
 score; and carried you a forehand shaft a 
 fourteen and fourteen and-a-half, that it 
 would have done a man's heart good to see.

 And the quaint mazes in the wanton green, 
 Eor lack of tread, are undistinguishable ; 
 The human mortals want their winter cheer ; 
 No night is now with hymn or carol bless'd : 
 Therefore the moon, the governess of floods.

 But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes, 
 Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses,

 Mine eyes are cloy'd with view of tyranny : 
 A deed of death, done on the innocent, 
 Becomes not Titus' brother : Get thee gone ; 
 I see, thou art not for my company. 
 
 Mar. Alas, my lord, I have but kill'd a

 Tit. But how, if that fly had a father and

 How would he hang his slender gilded

 Ant. Octavius, I have seen more days

 And though we lay these honours on this 
 
 man, 
 To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads, 
 He shall but bear them as the ass bears 
 
 gold. 
 To groan and sweat under the business. 
 Either led or driven, as we point tihe way ; 
 And having brought our treasure where we 
 
 will. 
 Then take we down his load, and turn him 
 
 oflP, 
 Like to the empty ass, to shake his ears. 
 And graze in commons. 
 
 Oct. You may do your will ; 
 
 But he 's a tried and valiant soldier. 
 
 Ant. So is my horse, Octavius ; and, for 
 
 that, 
 I do appoint him store of provender. 
 It is a creature that I teach to fight. 
 To wind, to stop, to run directly on; 
 His corporal motion govern'd by my spirit. 
 And, in some taste, is Lepidus but so ; 
 He must be taught, and train'd, and bid go 
 
 forth : 
 A barren-spirited fellow ; one that feeds 
 On objects, arts, and imitations ; 
 Which, out of use, and stal'd by other men. 
 Begin his fashion : Do not talk of him, 
 But as a property.

 And, like the haggard, check at every feather

 And rail'd on lady Fortune in good terms. 
 In good set terms, — and yet a motley fool. 
 "Good morrow, fool," quoth I. "No, sir," 
 
 quoth he, 
 " Call me not fool, till Heaven hath sent me 
 
 fortune : " 
 And then he drew a dial from his poke, 
 And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye. 
 Says, very wisely, "It is ten o'clock : 
 Thus we may see," quoth he, "how the 
 
 world wags : 
 T' is but an hour ago, since it was nine ; 
 And after one hour more, 't will be eleven ; 
 And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, 
 And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot ; 
 And thereby hangs a tale."

 But, I remember, when the fight was done. 
 When I was dry with rage, and extreme

 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 smil'd, and 
 
 talk'd ; 
 And, as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, 
 He call'd them — untaught knaves, unman- 
 nerly. 
 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 he should not; — for he made 
 
 me mad. 
 To see him shine so brisk, and smell so 
 
 sweet, 
 And talk so like a Avaiting-gentle woman, 
 Of guns, and drums, and wounds, (God 
 
 save the mark!) 
 And telling me, the sovereign'st thing on 
 
 earth 
 Was parmaceti,,for an inward bruise ; 
 And that it was great pity, so it was. 
 
 That villanous salt-petre should be digg'd 
 Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, 
 Which many a good tall fellow had de- 
 stroy 'd 
 So cowardly ; and, but for these vile guns. 
 He M'ould himself have been a soldier.

 Wol. That 's somewhat sudden : 
 
 But he 's a learned man. May he continue 
 Long in his highness' favour, and do justice 
 For truth's sake, and his conscience ; that 
 
 his bones. 
 When he has run his course, and sleeps in 
 
 blessings. 
 May have a tomb of orphans' tears wept on 
 
 'em! 
 What more ? 
 
 Crom. That Cranmer is return'd with 
 Avelcome, 
 Install'd lord archbishop of Canterbury. 
 Wol. That 's news indeed. 
 Crom. Last, that the Lady Anne, 
 
 Whom the king hath in secrecy long mar- 
 ried, 
 This day was view'd in open, as his queen, 
 Going to chapel ; and the voice is now 
 Only about her coronation. 
 
 Wol. There was the weight that pull'd 
 me down. O Cromwell, 
 The king has gone beyond me, all my glories 
 In that one woman I have lost for ever : 
 No sun shall ever usher forth mine honours. 
 Or gild again the noble troops that waited 
 Upon my smiles.

 FORTUNE.— A Strumpet. 
 
 1 Play. * * 
 Out, out, thou strumpet Fortune ! All you 
 
 gods, 
 In general synod, take away her power ; 
 Break all the spokes and fellies from her 
 
 wheel, 
 And bowl the round nave down the hill of 
 
 heaven. 
 As low as to the fiends ! 
 
 ^.,11: 2. 1408. 
 
 —Bad, a Relief. 
 
 Edg. Yet better thus, and known to be 
 contemn'd. 
 Than still contemn'd and flatter'd. To be 
 worst. 
 
 The loM'est, and most dejected thing of for- 
 tune. 
 
 Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear : 
 
 The lamentable change is from the best ; 
 
 The worst returns to laughter. Welcome 
 then. 
 
 Thou unsubstantial air, that I embrace ! 
 
 The wretch, that thou hast blown unto tlie 
 worst. 
 
 Owes nothing to thy blasts.

 And that the people of this blessed land 
 May not be punish'd with my thwarting 
 
 stars ; 
 Warwick, although my head still wear the 
 
 crown, 
 I here resign my government to thee. 
 For thou art fortunate in all thy deeds.

 Gel. No ! When Nature hath made a 
 fair creature, may she not by Fortune fall 
 into the fire? Though Nature hath given 
 us wit to flout at Fortune, hath not Fortune 
 sent in this fool to cut off the argument? 
 
 Ros. Indeed, there is a Fortune too hard 
 for Nature, when Fortune makes Nature's 
 natural the cutter off of Nature's wit. 
 
 Cel. Peradventure, this is not Fortune's 
 work neither, but Nature's ; who, perceiv- 
 ing our natural wits too dull to reason of 
 such goddesses, hath sent this natural for 
 our whetstone : for always the dulness of 
 the fool is the whetstone of the wits.

 That labour on the bosom of this sphere

 most needless creatures living, should we 
 ne'er have use for them : and would most re-

 I have often wished myself poorer, that I 
 might come nearer to you. We are born

 Cces. I do not much dislike the matter, 
 but 
 The manner of his speech : for it cannot be. 
 We shall remain in friendship, our condi- 
 tions 
 
 So differing in their acts. Yet, if I knew 
 What hoop should hold us staunch, from 
 
 edge to edge 
 O' the world I would pursue it.

 Farewell : The leisure and the fearful time

 And ample interchange of%weet discourse,

 P. King. * * 'T is a question left us

 Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune 
 love. 
 
 The great man down, you mark his favour- 
 ite flies ; 
 
 The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies. 
 
 And hitherto doth love on fortune tend : 
 
 For who not needs, shall never lack a friend ; 
 
 And who in want a hollow friend doth try, 
 
 Directly seasons him his enemy.

 O, the fierce wretchedness that glory brings 
 us ! 
 
 Who would not wish to be from wealth ex- 
 empt, 
 
 Since riches point to misery and contempt? 
 
 Who 'd be so mock'd with glory? or to live 
 
 But in a dream of friendship? 
 
 To have his pomp, and all what state com- 
 pounds. 
 
 But only painted, like his varnish'd friends? 
 
 Poor honest lord, brought low by his own 
 heart ; 
 
 Undone by goodness ! Strange, unusual 
 blood, 
 
 When man's worst sin is, he does too much 
 good ! 
 
 Who then dares to be half so kind again? 
 
 For bounty, that makes gods, does still mar 
 men. 
 
My dearest lord, — bless'd, to be most ac- 
 curs'd, 
 
 Rich, only to be wretched ; thy great for- 
 tunes 
 
 Are made thy chief afflictions. Alas, kind 
 lord! 
 
 He 's flung in rage from this ungrateful seat 
 
 Of monstrous friends : nor has he with him 
 to 
 
 Supply his life, or that which can command 
 it.

 Men. I tell thee, fellow, 
 
 Thy general is my lover : I have been 
 The book of his good acts, whence men 
 
 have read 
 His fame unparallel'd, haply, amplified ; 
 For I have ever magnified my friends, 
 (Of whom he 's chief,) with all the size that 
 
 verity 
 AVouId without lapsing suffer : nay, some- 
 times. 
 Like to a bowl upon a subtle ground, 
 I have tumbled past the throw ; and in his 
 
 praise 
 Have, almost, stamp'd the leasing : There- 
 fore, fellow, 
 I must have leave to pass. 
 
 1 G. 'Faith, sir, if you had told as many 
 lies in his behalf, as you have uttered words 
 in your own, you should not pass here : no, 
 though it were as virtuous to lie, as to live 
 chastely. Therefore, go back. 
 
 Men. Pr'ythee, fellow, remember my 
 name is Menenius, always factionary on the 
 party of your general. 
 
 2 G. Howsoever you have been his liar, 
 (as you say, you have,) I am one that, tell- 
 ing true under him, must say, you cannot 
 pass. Therefore, go back. 
 
 Men. Has he dined, can'st thou tell? for 
 I would not speak with him till after dinner. 
 
 1 G. You are a Roman, are you? 
 
 3/en. I am as thy general is. 
 
 1 G. Then you should hate Rome, as he 
 does. Can you, when you have pushed out 
 your gates the very defender of them, and, 
 in a violent popular ignorance, given your 
 enemy your shield, think to front his re- 
 venges with the queasy groans of old wo- 
 men, the virginal palms of yovir daughters, 
 or with the palsied intercession of such a 
 decayed dotant as you seem to be? Can 
 you think to blow out the intended fire your 
 city is ready to flame in, with such weak 
 breath as this ? No, you are deceived ; 
 therefore, back to Rome, and prepare for 
 your execution ; you are condemned, our 
 general has sworn you out of reprieve and 
 pardon.

 Against whose charms faith melteth into

 flower. 
 Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, 
 Both warbling of one song, both in one key ; 
 As if our hands, our sides, voices and minds. 
 Had been incorporate. So we grew together, 
 Like to a double cherry, seeming parted. 
 But yet an union in partition. 
 Two lovely berries moulded on one stem : 
 So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart. 
 Two of the first, like coats in heraldry. 
 Due but to one, and crowned with one crest. 
 And will you rend our ancient love asunder. 
 To join with men in scorning your poor 
 friend ?

 Shal. By the mass, I was called any

 indeed, and roundly too. There was I, and 
 little John Doit of Staffordshire, and black 
 George Bare, and Francis Pickbone, and 
 Will Squele a Cotswold man, — you had not 
 four such swinge-bucklers in all the inns of 
 court again : and, I may say to you, we 
 knew where the bona-robas were ; and had 
 the best of the mall at commandment. Then 
 Avas Jack Falstaff, now sir John, a boy; and 
 page to Thomas Mowbray, duke of Norfolk. 
 
 Sil. This sir John, cousin, that comes 
 hither anon about soldiers? 
 
 Shal. The same sir John, the very same. 
 I saw him break Skogan's head at the court

 Watching breeds leanness, leanness is all 
 
 gaunt ; 
 The pleasure, that some fathers feed upon, 
 Is my strict fast, I mean — my children's

 And, therein fasting, hast thou made me

 Whose hollow womb inherits nought but

 Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, 
 That I will speak to thee ; I '11 call thee 
 
 Hamlet, 
 King, father, royal Dane : O, answer me : 
 Let me not burst in ignorance ! but tell. 
 Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death, 
 Have burst their cerements ! why the sep- 
 ulchre. 
 Wherein we saw thee quietly in-urn'd, 
 Hast open'd his ponderous and marble jaws. 
 To cast thee up again! What may this 
 
 mean. 
 That thou, dead corse, again, in complete 
 
 steel, 
 Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon. 
 Making night Mdeous ; and we fools of na- 
 ture. 
 So horridly to shake our disposition, 
 With thoughts beyond the reaches of our

 Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves

 Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse : 
 Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied : 
 And vice sometime 's by action dignified. 
 Within the infant rind of this small flower 
 Poison hath residence, and med'cine power : 
 For this, being smelt, with that part cheers 
 
 each part ; 
 Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart.

 Therefore, O Antony, stay not by his side : 
 Thy daemon, that 's thy spirit which keeps 
 
 thee, is 
 Noble, courageous, high, unmatchable, 
 Where Caesar's is not; but, near him, thy 
 
 angel 
 Becomes a Pear, as being o'erpower'd; 
 
 therefore 
 Make space enough between you. 
 Ant. Speak this no more. 
 
 Sooth. To none but thee ; no more, but 
 
 when to thee. 
 If thou dost play with him at any game, 
 Thou art sure to lose ! and, of that natural 
 
 luck. 
 He beats thee 'gainst the odds ; thy lustre 
 
 thickens. 
 When he shines by : I say again, thy spirit 
 Is all afraid to govern thee near Mm; 
 But, he away, 't is noble.

 The abuse of greatness is, when it disjoins 
 Remorse from power : And, to speak truth 
 of Caesar, 
 
 I have not known when his afiections sway'd 
 More than his reason. But 't is a common 
 
 proof, 
 That lowliness is young ambition's ladder. 
 Whereto the climber-upward turns his face : 
 But when he once attains the upmost round. 
 He then unto the ladder turns his back. 
 Looks in the clouds, scorning the base de- 
 grees 
 By which he did ascend. 
 
 J. C, n : 1. 1329. 
 
 — True, Invincible. 
 
 Auf. * * I think, he '11 be to Rome, 
 As is the osprey to the fish, who takes it 
 By sovereignty of nature. First he was 
 A noble servant to them ; but he could not 
 Carry his honours even : whether 't was 
 
 pride. 
 Which out of daily fortune ever taints 
 The happy man; whether defect of judg- 
 ment. 
 To fail in the disposing of those chances 
 Which he was lord of; or whether nature, 
 Not to be other than one thing, not moving 
 From the casque to the cushion, but com- 
 manding peace 
 Even with the same austerity and garb 
 As he controll'd the Avar. 
 * * So our virtues 
 Lie in the interpretation of the time : 
 And power, unto itself most commendable, 
 Hath not a tomb so evident as a chair 
 To extol what it hath done. 
 One fire drives out one fire ; one nail, one 
 
 nail; 
 Rights by rights fouler, strengths by strengths 
 do fail. 
 
 a, IV : 7. 1185. 
 
 — True, its Gro-wth. 
 
 Jlani. * * 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.

 GRIEF. 
 
 AVhen Tarquin made a head for Rome, he 
 
 fought 
 Beyond the mark of others : our then dic- 
 tator, 
 Whom with all praise I point at, saw him 
 
 fight, 
 When with his Amazonian chin he drove 
 The bristled lips before him : he bestrid 
 An o'er-press'd Roman, and i' the consul's 
 
 view 
 Slew three opposers : Tarquin's self he met. 
 And struck him on his knee : in that day's 
 
 feats, 
 When he might act the woman in the scene, 
 He prov'd best man i' the field, and for his 
 
 meed 
 Was brow-bound with the oak. His pupil 
 
 age 
 Man-enter'd thus, he waxed like a sea ; 
 And, in the brunt of seventeen battles since, 
 He lurch'd all swords o' the garland. For 
 
 this last. 
 Before and in Corioli, let me say, 
 I cannot speak him home : He stopp'd the 
 
 fliers : 
 And, by his rare example, made the coward 
 Turn terror into sport : as waves before 
 A vessel under sail, so men obey'd, 
 And fell below his stem : his sword (death's 
 
 stamp) 
 Where it did mark, it took ; from face to 
 
 foot 
 He was a thing of blood, whose every mo- 
 tion 
 Was timed with dying cries : alone he enter'd 
 The mortal gate o' the city, which he painted 
 With shunless destiny, aidless came off". 
 And with a sudden re-enforcement struck 
 Corioli, like a planet : Now all 's his : 
 When by and by the din of war 'gan pierce 
 His ready sense, then straight his doubled 
 
 spirit 
 Re-quicken'd what in flesh was fatigate. 
 And to the battle came he ; where he did 
 Run reeking o'er the lives of men, as if 
 'T were a perpetual spoil : and, till we call'd 
 Both field and city ours, he never stood 
 To ease his breast with panting. 
 
 C, II : 2. 1164. 
 
 — True, its Vagaries. 
 
 Lieu. I do not know what witchcraft 's 
 in him, but 
 
 Your soldiers use him as the grace 'fore 
 meat. 
 
 Their talk at table, and their thanks at end ; 
 
 And you are darken'd in this action, sir. 
 
 Even by your own. 
 
 Auf. I cannot help it now ; 
 
 Unless, by using means, I lame the foot 
 
 Of our design. He bears himself more 
 proudlier 
 
 Even to my person, than I thought he would, 
 
 When first I did embrace him : Yet his na- 
 ture 
 
 In that's no changeling; and I must excuse 
 
 What cannot be amended. 
 
 C, IV : 7. 1185. 
 
 GRIEF.— A Solace. (See Sorrow.) 
 
 Const. Grief fills the room up of my ab- 
 sent child. 
 Lies in his bed, walks up and down with 
 
 me ; 
 Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words. 
 Remembers me of all his gracious parts. 
 Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form ; 
 Then, have I reason to be fond of grief. 
 
 E.J.,111: 4. 662. 
 
 — Aggravated. 
 jEge. A heavier task could not have been 
 impos'd. 
 Than I to speak my griefs unspeakable.

 Tro. I was about to tell thee, — when 
 my heart, 
 As wedged with a sigh, would rive in twain. 
 T. C, 1 : 1. 1103. 
 
 Tit. * * 
 What fool hath added water to the sea? 
 Or brought a fagot to bright burning Troy? 
 My grief was at the height before thou cam'st, 
 And now, like Nilus, it disdaineth bounds : 
 Give me a sword, I '11 chop off my hands too ; 
 For they have fought for Rome, and all in 
 
 vain; 
 And they have nurs'd this woe, in feeding 
 
 life; 
 In bootless prayer have they been held up. 
 And they have serv'd me to effectless use. 
 Now all the service I require of them 
 Is that the one will help to cut the other.

 K. Rich. My crown, I am ; but still my

 You may my glories and ray state depose, 
 But not my griefs ; still am I king of those. 
 R. II.,1Y: 1. 709. 
 
 — Atoning. 
 
 Eno. * * Throw my heart 
 Against the flint and liardness of my fault : 
 Which, being dried with grief, will break to

 And finish all foul thoughts. 
 
 A. C, IV : 9. 1572.

 Macd. 0, I could play the woman with 
 mine eyes. 
 And braggart with my tongue ! 
 
 M., IV : 3. 1380. 
 
 — Emphatic. 
 
 Ham. What is he, whose grief 
 Bears such an emphasis? whose phrase of 
 
 sorrow 
 Conjures the wand'ring stars, and makes 
 
 them stand 
 Like wonder-wounded hearers? 
 
 H., V : 2. 1432.

 Queen. * * 
 Why should hard-favour'd grief be lodged 
 
 in thee. 
 When triumph is become an ale-house guest? 
 R.II.,Y: 1. 711. 
 
 — Excessive. 
 
 Laf. Moderate lamentation is the right 
 of the dead ; excessive grief the enemy to 
 the living. 
 
 Jlel. If the living be enemy to the grief, 
 the excess makqs it soon mortal.

 La. Cap. Evermore weeping for your 
 cousin's deatli? 
 What, wilt thou wash him from his grave 
 with tears? 
 
 An if thou could'st, thou could'st not make 
 
 him live ; 
 Therefore, have done : Some grief shows 
 
 much of love ; 
 
 But much of grief shows still some want of 
 
 wit. 
 
 R.J.,111: 5. 1265. 
 
 — Extravagant. 
 Queen. For love of God, forbear him. 
 Ham. 'Zounds, show me what thou 'It 
 do: 
 Woul't weep? woul't fight? woul't fast? 
 
 woul't tear thyself? 
 Woul't drink up Esil? eat a crocodile? 
 I '11 do 't. — Dost thou come here to whine? 
 To outface me with leaping in her grave? 
 Be buried quick with her, and so will I : 
 And, if thou prate of mountains, let them 
 
 throw 
 Millions of acres on iis ; till our ground, 
 Singeing his pate against the burning zone. 
 Make Ossa like a wart ! Nay, an thou 'It

 I '11 rant as well as thou. 
 
 H.,V: 1. 1432. 
 
 Q. Mar. Oft have I heard — that grief 
 softens the mind. 
 
 And makes it fearful and degenerate ; 
 
 Think therefore on revenge, and cease to 
 weep. 
 
 But who can cease to weep, and look on 
 this? 
 
 Here may his head lie on my throbbing 
 breast : 
 
 But where 's the body that I should em- 
 brace? 
 
 * * 
 
 K. Hen. How now, madam? Still 
 Lamenting, and mourning for Suffolk's 
 
 death? 
 I fear, my love, if that I had been dead. 
 Thou wouldest not have mourn'd so much 
 for me. 
 Q. Mar. No, my love, I should not 
 mourn, but die for thee.

GRIEF. 
 
 260 
 
 GRIEF. 
 
 As my sweet Richard : Yet again, methinks, 
 Some unborn sorrow, ripe in fortune's 
 
 womb, 
 Is cpming towards me ; and my inward soul 
 With nothing trembles : at something it 
 
 grieves, 
 More than with parting from my lord the 
 
 king. 
 
 B. II., II : 2. 695. 
 
 — General. 
 
 Q. Eliz. Ah ! who shall hinder me to 
 wail and weep? 
 To chide my fortune, and torment myself? 
 I '11 join with black despair against my soul, 
 And to myself become an enemy. 
 
 Duch. "What means this scene of rude 
 
 impatience? 
 Q. Eliz. To make an act of tragic vio- 
 lence : — 
 Edward, my lord, thy son, our king, is dead. 
 Why grow the branches, when the root is 
 
 gone? 
 Why wither not the leaves, that want their 
 
 sap? — 
 If you will live, lament; if die, be brief; 
 That our swift-winged souls may catch the 
 
 king's ; 
 Or, like obedient subjects, follow him 
 To his new kingdom of perpetual rest. 
 Duch. Ah, so much interest have I in 
 thy sorrow. 
 As I had title in thy noble husband ! 
 I have bewept a worthy husband's death, 
 And liv'd by looking on his images : 
 But now, two mirrors of his princely sem- 
 blance 
 Are crack'd in pieces by malignant death ; 
 And I for comfort have but one false glass, 
 That grieves me when I see my shame in 
 
 him. 
 Thou art a widow ; yet thou art a mother. 
 And hast the comfort of thy children left 
 
 thee : 
 But death hath snatch'd my husband from 
 
 my arms. 
 And pluck'd two crutches from my feeble 
 
 hands, 
 Clarence, and Edward. O what cause have I, 
 (Thine being but a moiety of my grief,) 
 To over-go thy plaints, and drown thy cries? 
 
 Duch. Was never mother had so dear a 
 
 loss. 
 Alas ! I am the mother of these griefs ; 
 Their woes are parcell'd, mine are general. 
 She for an Edward weeps, and so do I ; 
 I for a Clarence Aveep, so doth not she : 
 These babes for Clarence weep, and so do I : 
 I for an Edward weep, so do not they : — 
 Alas ! you three, on me, threefold distress'd, 
 Pour all your tears, I am your sorrow's 
 
 nurse. 
 And I will pamper it with lamentations. 
 
 R. III., II : 2. 1016. 
 
 — Great, an Excuse. 
 
 Bast. Whate'er you think, good words, 
 I think, were best. 
 
 Sal. Our griefs, and not our manners, 
 reason now. 
 
 Bast. But there is little reason in your 
 grief: 
 Therefore, 't were reason, you had manners 
 now. 
 
 Pern. Sir, sir, impatience hath this priv- 
 ilege. 
 
 Best. 'T is true ; to hurt his master, no 
 man else. 
 
 K. J., IV : 3. 669. 
 
 — Great, proud. 
 
 Sal. Pardon me, madam, 
 
 I may not go without you to the kings. 
 Const. Thou may'st, thou shalt, I will 
 not go with thee : 
 I will instruct my sorrows to be proud ; 
 For grief is proud, and makes his owner 
 
 stout. 
 To me, and to the state of my great grief. 
 Let kings assemble ; for my grief's so great. 
 That no supporter but the huge firm earth 
 Can hold it up : here I and sorrow sit ; 
 Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to 
 it. 
 
 K. J., Ill : 1. 657. 
 
 Grief boundeth where it

 Not with the empty hollowness, but weight :

 But he bears both the sentence and the sor- 
 row, 
 That, to pay grief, must of poor patience 
 
 borrow 
 These sentences, to sugar, or to gall. 
 Being strong on both sides, are equivocal : 
 But words are words ; I never yet did hear. 
 That the bruis'd heart was pierced through 
 the ear.

 Edw. Sweet duke of York, our prop to

 Now thou art gone, we have no staff, no

 O Clifford, boist'rous Clifford, thou hast 
 
 slain 
 The flower of Europe for his chivalry ; 
 And treacherously hast thou vanquish'd him. 
 For hand to hand, he would have vanquish'd 
 
 thee ! — 
 Now my soul's palace is become a prison : 
 Ah, would she break from hence ! that this 
 
 my body 
 Miglit in the ground be closed up in rest : 
 For never henceforth shall I joy again. 
 Never, O never, shall I see more joy.

 Q. Mar. He dares not calm his contume- 
 lious spirit. 
 Nor cease to be an arrogant controller. 
 
GUILT. 
 
 264 
 
 GUILT. 
 
 Though Suffolk dare him twenty thousand 
 
 times. 
 War. Madam, be still; with reverence 
 
 may I say ; 
 For every word, you speak in his behalf, 
 Is slander to your royal dignity. 
 
 Siif. Blunt-witted lord, ignoble in de- 
 meanour ! 
 If ever lady wrong'd her lord so much. 
 Thy mother took into her blameful bed 
 Some stern untutor'd churl, and noble stock 
 "Was graft with crab-tree slip ; whose fruit 
 
 thou art. 
 And never of the Nevils' noble race. 
 
 Wa7: But that the guilt of murder buck- 
 lers thee. 
 And I should rob the deathsman of his fee, 
 Quitting thee thereby of ten thousand 
 
 shames. 
 And that my sovereign's presence makes 
 
 me mild, 
 I would, false murderous coward, on thy 
 
 knee 
 Make thee beg pardon for thy passed speech. 
 And say — it was thy mother that thou 
 
 meant' st, 
 That thou thyself wast born in bastardy : 
 And, after all this fearful homage done. 
 Give thee thy hire, and send thy soul to 
 
 hell, 
 Pernicious bloodsucker of sleeping men ! 
 Suf. Thou shalt be waking, while I shed 
 
 thy blood. 
 If from this presence thou dar'st go with 
 
 me. 
 War. Away even now, or I will drag 
 
 thee lience : 
 Unworthy though thou art, I '11 cope with 
 
 thee. 
 And do some service to duke Humphrey's 
 
 ghost.

 — Co"wardly. 
 
 K. John. Why seek'st thou to possess 
 
 me with these fears? 
 Why urgest thou so oft young Arthur's 
 
 death? 
 Thy hand hath murder'd him : I had mighty 
 
 cause 
 To wish him dead, but thou hadst none to 
 
 kill him. 
 Hub. Had none, my lord ! why, did you 
 
 not provoke me? 
 
 K. John. It is the curse of kings, to be 
 attended 
 By slaves, that take their humors for a war- 
 rant 
 To break within the bloody house of life : 
 And, on the winking of authority. 
 To understand a law ; to know the meaning 
 Of dangerous majesty, when, perchance, it 
 
 frowns 
 More upon humor than ad vis 'd respect.

 — Its Heaviness. 
 
 Ghost of P. Ed. Let me sit heavy on 
 thy soul to-morrow ! 
 Think, how thou stab'dst me in my prime of 
 
 youth 
 At TeAvkesbury : Despair therefore, and 
 die! — 
 Ghost of Tien. VL When I was mortal 
 my anointed body 
 By thee was punched full of deadly holes : 
 Think on the Tower, and me : Despair, and 
 die. 
 Ghost of Clarence. Let me sit heavy on 
 thy soul to-morrow ! 
 I, that was wash'd to death with fulsome 
 
 wine. 
 Poor Clarence, by thy guile betray'd to 
 
 death ! 
 To-morrow in the battle think on me. 
 And fall thy edgeless sword : Despair, and 
 
 die! 
 Thou offspring of the house of Lancaster. 
 Ghost of Riv. Let me sit heavy on thy 
 soul to-morrow. 
 Rivers, that died at Pomfret ! Despair, and 
 die! 
 Ghost of Grey. Think upon Grey, and 
 
 let thy soul despair! 
 Ghost of Vaugh. Think upon Vaughan ; 
 and, with guilty fear. 
 Let fall thy lance ! Despair, and die ! — 
 Ghost of Hastings. Bloody and guilty, 
 guiltily awake ; 
 And in a bloody battle end thy days ! 
 Think on lord Hastings ; and despair, and 
 die! — 
 Quiet untroubled soul, awake, awake ! 
 Ghost of the two Princes. Dream on thy 
 cousins smother'd in the Tower ; 
 Let us be lead within thy bosom, Richard, 
 
GUILT. 
 
 265 
 
 GUILTINESS. 
 
 And weigh thee down to ruin, shame, and 
 
 death ! 
 Thy nephews' souls bid thee despair, and 
 
 die. — 
 Ghost of Queen Anne. Richard, thy 
 
 wife, that wretched Anne thy wife, 
 That never slept a quiet hour with thee, 
 Now fills thy sleep with perturbations : 
 To-morrow in the battle think on me, 
 And fall thy edgeless sword : Despair, and 
 
 die! — 
 Ghost of Buckingham. The first was I, 
 
 that help'd thee to the crown ; 
 The last was I that felt thy tyranny : 
 O, in the battle think on Buckingham, 
 And die in terror of thy guiltiness ! 
 Dream on, dream on, of bloody deeds and 
 
 death ; 
 Fainting, despair; despairing, yield thy 
 
 breath ! 
 
 B. III., V : 3. 1043. 
 
 Clar. O Brankenbury, I have done these 
 things, — 
 That now give evidence against my soul, — 
 Tor Edward's sake ; and, see, how he re- 
 quites me ! — 
 
 God ! if my deep prayers cannot appease 
 
 thee. 
 But thou wilt be aveng'd on my misdeeds, 
 Yet execute thy wrath on me alone : 
 O, spare my guiltless wife, and my poor 
 
 children ! — 
 
 1 pray thee, gentle keeper, stay by me ; 
 My soul is heavy, and I fain would sleep.

 — Sometimes Defiant. 
 
 Fitz. If that thy valour stand on sym- 
 pathies, 
 There is my gage, Aumerle, in gage to thine : 
 By that fair sun that shows me where thou 
 
 stand'st, 
 I heard thee say, and vauntingly thou spak'st 
 it. 
 
 That thou wert cause of noble Gloster's 
 death. 
 
 If thou deny'st it, twenty times thou liest ; 
 
 And I will turn thy falsehood to thy heart. 
 
 Where it was forged, with my rapier's point. 
 
 AuTn. Thou dar'st not, coward, live to 
 see that day. 
 
 Fitz. Now, by my soul, I would it were 
 this hour. * * 
 
 Surrey. Dishonourable boy ! 
 
 That lie shall lie so heavy on my sword, 
 
 Tliat it shall render vengeance and revenge, 
 
 Till thou the lie-giver, and tliat lie, do lie 
 
 In earth as quiet as thy father's skull. 
 
 In proof whereof, there is my honour's 
 pawn ; 
 
 Engage it to the trial, if thou dar'st. 
 
 Fitz. How fondly dost thou spur a for- 
 ward horse. 
 If I dare eat, or drink, or breathe, or live, 
 I dare meet Surrey in a wilderness, 
 And spit upon him, whilst I say he lies, 
 And lies, and lies : there is my bond of faith, 
 To tie thee to my strong correction. — 
 As I intend to thrive in this new world, 
 Aumerle is guilty of my true appeal : 
 Besides, I heard the banish'd Norfolk say, 
 
 That thou, Aumerle, didst send two of thy 
 men 
 
 To execute the noble duke at Calais. 
 
 Aum. Some honest Christian trust me 
 with a gage, 
 
 That Norfolk lies ; here do I throw down 
 
 this, 
 If he may be repeal'd to try his honour.

 Sal. Tiie king hath dispossess'd himself

 — Po'werful. 
 Ham. * * If you have it not. 
 That monster, custom, who all sense doth 
 
 eat 
 Of habit's devil, is angel yet in this ; 
 That to the use of actions fair and good 
 He likewise gives a frock, or livery. 
 That aptly is put on : Refrain to-night ; 
 And that shall lend a kind of easiness 
 To the next abstinence : the next more easy : 
 For use almost can change the stamp of na- 
 ture. 
 And either curb the devil, or throw him out 
 With wondrous potency. 
 
 H., Ill : 4. 1420. 
 
 HABITS.— Bred by Use. 
 
 Val. How use doth breed a habit in a 
 
 man; 
 This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods, 
 I better brook than flourishing peopled 
 
 towns : 
 Here can I sit alone, unseen of any. 
 And to the nightingale's complaining notes 
 Tune my distresses, and record my woes. 
 O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, 
 Leave not the mansion so long tenantless ; 
 Lest, growing ruinous, the building fall, 
 And leave no memory of what it was ! 
 
 T. &.,Y: 4.71. 
 
 HAIR. — Abundance of. 
 
 K. Phi. Bind up those tresses : O, what 
 
 love I note 
 In the fair multitude of those her hairs ! 
 Where but by chance a silver drop hath 
 
 fallen, 
 Even to that drop ten thousand wiry friends 
 Do glew themselves in sociable grief; 
 Like true, inseparable, faithful loves. 
 Sticking together in calamity. 
 
 K. J., Ill : 4. 662. 
 
 — Disheveled, a Sign of Liberty. 
 K. Phi. Bind up your hairs. 
 
 Const. Yes, that I will : And wherefore 
 will I do it? 
 I tore them from their bonds ; and cried 
 
 aloud, 
 "0 that these hands could so redeem my 
 
 son. 
 As they have given these hairs their lib- 
 erty ! " 
 But now I envy at their liberty. 
 And will again commit them to their bonds. 
 Because my poor child is a prisoner.

 To be the dowry of a second head, 
 The skull that bred them in the sepulchre. 
 M. F., Ill: 2. 377.

 Sir To. Then hadst tliou an excellent 
 head of hair. 
 
 Sir And. Why, would that have mended 
 my hair? 
 
 Sir To. Past question ; for thou see'st it

 HALF-HEARTEDNESS.— Despised.

 Allegiance in them. 
 
 H. VIII., I: 2. 1060. 
 
 Hot. By heaven, methinks, it were an 
 
 easy leap, 
 To pluck bright honour from the pale-fac'd 
 
 moon; 
 Or dive into the bottom of the deep. 
 Where fathom-line could never touch the 
 
 ground. 
 And pluck up drowned honour by the locks ; 
 So he, that doth redeem her thence, might 
 
 wear. 
 Without corrival, all her dignities : 
 But out upon this half-fac'd fellowship !

 HALLUCINATIONS. — Produced by 
 Strong Drink. 
 
 Ari. I told you, sir, they were red-hot 
 with drinking : 
 
 So full of valour, that they smote the air 
 For breathing in their faces ; beat the 
 
 ground 
 For kissing of their feet ; yet always bend- 
 ing 
 Towards their project. 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-like, they my lowing foUow'd 
 
 through 
 Tooth'd briers, 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. 
 There dancing up to the chins, that the foul 
 
 lake 
 O'erstunk their feet.

 HAND. — A coarse. 
 
 Ros. * * 
 I saw her hand : she has a leathern hand, 
 A freestone-colour'd hand; I verily did 
 
 think 
 That her old gloves were on, but 't was her 
 
 hands ; 
 She has a housewife's hand : but that 's no 
 
 matter : 
 I say, she never did invent this letter ; 
 This is a man's invention, and his hand. 
 
 A. Y., IV : 4. 431.

 Cleo. * * A hand, that kings 
 Have lipp'd, and trembled kissing.

 Hard as the palm of ploughman ! 
 
 T. C, 1 : 1. 1103. 
 
 HANDKERCHIEF. — Desdemona's. 
 
 0th. That handkerchief 
 Did an Egyptian to my mother give ; 
 She was a charmer, and could almost read 
 The thoughts of people : she told her, while 
 
 she kept it, 
 'T would make her amiable, and subdue my 
 
 father 
 Entirely to her love ; but if she lost it. 
 Or made a gift of it, my father's eye 
 Should hold her loathly, and his spirits 
 
 should hunt 
 After new fancies : She, dying, gave it me ; 
 And bid me, when my fate would have me 
 
 wive. 
 To give it her. I did so : and take heed of 't. 
 Make it a darling like your precious eye ; 
 To lose or give 't away, were such perdition. 
 As nothing else could match. 
 Des. Is it possible? 
 
 Oth. 'T is true : there 's magic in the web 
 of it: 
 A sibyl, that had number'd in the world 
 The sun to make two hundred compasses. 
 In her prophetic fury sew'd the work : 
 The worms were hallow'd, that did breed 
 
 the silk ; 
 And it was died in mummy, which the skil- 
 ful 
 Conserv'd of maidens' hearts. 
 * * 
 
 Emil. Is not this man jealous? 
 
 Des. I ne'er saw this before. 
 Sure, there 's some wonder in this handker- 
 chief: 
 I am most unhappy in the loss of it.

 voice ; 
 And let not Bardolph's vital thread be cut 
 With edge of penny cord, and vile reproach. 
 H. v.. Ill : 6. 836. 
 
 — Felicities attendant upon. 
 
 Gaol. A heavy reckoning for you, sir : 
 But the comfort is, you shall be called to no 
 more payments, fear no more tavern bills ; 
 which are often the sadness of parting, as 
 the procuring of mirth : you come in faint 
 for want of meat, depart reeling with too 
 much drink ; sorry that you have paid too 
 much, and sorry that you are paid too much ; 
 purse and brain both empty : the brain the 
 heavier for being too light, the purse too 
 light, being drawn of heaviness : O ! of this 
 contradiction you shall now be quit. — O the 
 charity of a penny cord ! it sums up thou- 
 sands in a trice : you have no true debtor 
 and creditor but it; of what 's past, is, and 
 to come, the discharge : — Your neck, sir, is 
 pen, book, and counters ; so the acquit- 
 tance follows.

 Clo. Let her hang me ; he that is well 
 hang'd in this world needs to fear no 
 colours. 
 * * 
 
 Well, God give them wisdom that have 
 it; and those that are fools, let them use 
 their talents. 
 
 Mar. Yet you will be hang'd, for being 
 so long absent; or, to be turn'd away; is 
 not that as good as a hanging to you? 
 
 Clo. Many a good hanging prevents a 
 bad marriage ; and, for turning away, let 
 summer bear it out.

 And here remain with your uncertainty ! 
 Let every feeble rumour shake your hearts ! 
 Your enemies, with nodding of their plumes. 
 Fan you into despair ! Have the power still 
 To banish your defenders ; till, at length. 
 Your ignorance, (which finds not, till it

 Making not reservation of yourselves,

 Abated captives, to some nation 
 That won you without blows ! Despising, 
 For you, the city, thus I turn my back : 
 There is a world elsewhere.

 If wisdom be in suffering. O my lords. 
 As you are great, be pitifully good : 
 "Who cannot condemn rashness in cold 
 
 blood? 
 To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust ; 
 But, in defence, by mercy, 't is most just. 
 To be in anger is impiety ; 
 But who is man, that is not angry? 
 Weigh but the crime with this.

 Here, take : — the gods out of my misery 
 
 Have sent thee treasure. Go, live rich, and 
 happy : 
 
 But thus condition'd : Thou shalt build from 
 men; 
 
 Hate all, curse all : show charity to none ; 
 
 But let the famish'd flesh slide from the 
 bone, 
 
 Ere thou relieve the beggar : give to dogs 
 
 What thou deny'st to men ; let prisons swal- 
 low them, 
 
 Debts wither them : Be men like blasted 
 woods. 
 
 And may diseases lick up their false bloods ! 
 
 And so, farewell, and thrive.

 Sic. For that he has 
 
 (As much as in him lies) from time to time 
 Envied against the people, seeking means 
 To pluck away their power ; has now at 
 
 last 
 Given hostile strokes, and that not in the 
 
 presence 
 Of dreaded justice, but on the ministers 
 That do distribute it: In the name o' the 
 
 people, 
 And in the power of us the tribunes, we. 
 Even from this instant, banish him our city ; 
 In peril of precipitation 
 From off the rock Tarpeian, never more 
 To enter our Eome gates : I' the people's

 HONOR. — Argument in a Stra-w. 
 
 Ham. * * Rightly to be great. 
 Is, not to stir without great argument; 
 But greatly to find quarrel in a straw. 
 When honor 's at the stake. How stand I 
 
 then, 
 That have a father kill'd, a mother stain'd. 
 Excitements of my reason, and my blood. 
 And let all sleep? while, to my shame, I see 
 The imminent death of twenty thousand men, 
 That, for a fantasy, and trick of fame. 
 Go to their graves like beds ; fight for a plot 
 Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause, 
 Which is not tomb enough, and continent, 
 To hide the slain? — O, from this time forth. 
 My thoughts be bloodj-, or be nothing worth !

 1 Off. That 's a brave fellow ; but he 's 
 vengeance proud, and loves not the common 
 people.

 2 Off. He hath deserved worthily of his 
 country : And his ascent is not by such easy 
 degrees, as those, who, having been supple 
 and courteous to the people, bonnetted, 
 without any further deed to heave them at 
 all into their estimation and report : but he 
 hath so planted his honours in their eyes, 
 and his actions in their hearts, that for their 
 tongues to be silent, and not confess so 
 much, were a kind of ingrateful injury ; to 
 report otherwise, were a malice, that, giving 
 itself the lie, would pluck reproof and re- 
 buke from every ear that heard it. 
 
 1 Off. No more of him ; he is a worthy

 The neighs of horse to tell of lier approach, 
 Long ere she did apj)ear ; the trees by the

 Longing for what it had not. 
 
 A. C, III: 6. 1561.

 easy leap. 
 To pluck bright honour from the pale-fac'd

 And pluck up drowned honour by the locks.

 By Jove, I am not covetous for gold ; 
 Nor care I, who doth feed upon my cost ;

 Such outward things dwell not in my de-

 But, if it be a sin to covet honour, 
 I am the most offending soul alive.

 baseness, it is as much as I can do to keep 
 the terms of my honour precise. I, I, I 
 myself sometimes, leaving the fear of heaven 
 on the left hand, and hiding mine honour in 
 my necessity, am fain to shuffle, to hedge, 
 and to lurch ; and yet you, rogue, will 
 ensconce your rags, your cat-a-mountain 
 looks, your red-lattice phrases, and j^our 
 blunderbuss oaths, under the shelter of 
 your honour! 
 
 M. W., 11 : 2. 97.

 Fet. Wdl, come, my Kate ; we will unto 
 your father's. 
 Even in these honest mean habiliments ; 
 Our purses shall be proud, our garments 
 
 poor : 
 For 't is the mind that makes the body rich. 
 And as the sun breaks through the darkest 
 
 clouds. 
 So honour peereth in the meanest habit. 
 What, is the jay more precious than the 
 
 lark. 
 Because his feathers are more beautiful? 
 Or is the adder better than the eel. 
 Because his painted skin contents the eye? 
 O, no, good Kate; neither art thou the 
 
 worse 
 For this poor furniture and mean array.

 What is it that you would impart to me? 
 If it be aught toward the general good, 
 Set honour in one eye, and death i' the

 And I will look on both indifferently : 
 For, let the gods so speed me, as I love 
 The name of honour more than I fear death. 
 J. C, 1 : 2. 1324. 
 — More precious than Life. 
 Uect. Hold you still, I say ; 
 
 Mine honour keeps the weatlier of my fate : 
 Life every man holds dear ; but the dear 
 
 man 
 Holds honour far more precious-dear than 
 life.

 And not alone in liabit and device, 
 Exterior form, outward accoutrement ; 
 But from tlie inward motion to deliver 
 Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's

 Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn ; 
 For it shall strew the footsteps of my rising.

 Well, noAv, can I make any Joan a lady : — 
 "Good dear, sir Richard, — God-a-mercy,

 And if his name be George, I '11 call him 
 
 Peter : 
 For new-made honour doth forget men's 
 
 names ; 
 'T is too respective, and too sociable, 
 Eor your conversion. Now your traveller, — 
 He and his tooth-pick at my worship's mess ; 
 And when my knightly stomach is suffic'd. 
 Why then I suck my teeth, and catechise 
 My picked man of countries : ' ' My dear 
 
 sir," 
 (Thus, leaning on mine elbow, I begin,) 
 "I shall beseech you" — That is question 
 
 now ; 
 And then comes answer like an ABC-book : 
 "Osir," says answer, "at your best com- 
 mand ; 
 At your employment; at your service, sir:" 
 "No, sir," says question, "I, sweet sir, at 
 
 yours :" 
 And so, ere answer knows what question 
 
 would, 
 (Saving in dialogue of compliment; 
 And talking of the Alps, and Appennines, 
 The Pyrenean, and the river Po,) 
 It draws toward supper in conclusion so. 
 But this is worshipful society. 
 And fits the mounting spirit like myself.

 When rather from our acts we them derive

 A lying trophy; and as oft is dumb, 
 
 Where dust, and damn'd oblivion, is the 
 
 tomb 
 Of honoured bones indeed.

 but how if honour prick me off when I come

 No. Or an arm? No. Or take away the 
 grief of a wound? No. Honour hath no 
 skill in surgery then? No. What is hon- 
 our? A word. What is in that word, hon- 
 our? What is that honour? Air. A trim 
 reckoning! — Who hath it? He that died 
 o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? No. Doth 
 he hear it? No. Is it insensible then? 
 Yea, to the dead. But will it not live with 
 the living? No. Why? Detraction will 
 not suffer it: — therefore I '11 none of it : 
 Honour is a mere scutcheon, and so ends 
 my catechism.

 Will yearly on the vigil feast his friends. 
 And say — to-morrow is Saint Crispian : 
 Then will he strip his sleeve, and show his 
 
 scars, 
 And say, these wounds I had on Crispin's 
 
 day. 
 Old men forget ; yet all shall be forgot. 
 But he '11 remember, Avith advantages 
 What' feats he did that day : Then shall our 
 
 names : 
 Pamiliar in their mouths as household 
 
 words, — 
 Harry the king, Bedford, and Exeter, 
 Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloster, 
 Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd : 
 This story shall the good man teach his son ; 
 And Ci'ispin Crispian shall ne'er go by. 
 From this day to the ending of the world, 
 But we in it shall be remembered : 
 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 a-bed.

 Avere naught, and the mustard was good ; 
 and yet was not the kniglit forsworn.

 lieap of your knowledge? 
 
 Ros. Ay, marry ; now unmuzzle your 
 wisdom. 
 
 Touch. Stand you both forth now : stroke 
 your chins, and swear by your beards that I 
 am a knave. 
 
 Cel. By our beards, if we had them, thou 
 art. 
 
 Touch. By my knavery, if I had it, then 
 I were : but if you swear by that that is not, 
 you are not forsworn : no more was this 
 knight, swearing by his honour, for he never 
 had any ; or, if he had, he had sworn it 
 away before ever he saw those pancakes or 
 tliat mustard.

 Eating the air on promise of supply. 
 Flattering himself with project of a power

 And, winking, leap'd into destruction.

 HORSE. — Extravagant Praise of. 
 
 Dau, What a long night is this I — I will 
 not change my horse with any that treads 
 hut on four pasterns. Ca, ha! He bounds 
 from the earth, as if his entrails were hairs ; 
 le cheval volant, the Pegasus, que a les na- 
 rines de feu! When I bestride him, I soar, 
 I am a hawk : he trots the air ; the earth 
 sings when he touches it ; the basest horn 
 of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of 
 Hermes. 
 
 Oo'l. He 's of the colour of the nutmeg. 
 
 Dau. And of the heat of the ginger. It is 
 a beast for Perseus : he is pure air and fire ; 
 and the dull elements of earth and water 
 never appear in him, but only in patient 
 stillness, while his rider mounts him : he is, 
 indeed, a horse ; and all other jades you 
 may call — beasts. 
 
 Con. Indeed, my lord, it is a most abso- 
 lute and excellent horse. 
 * * 
 
 Orl. No more, cousin. 
 
 Dau. Nay, the man hath no wit, that 
 cannot from the rising of the lark to the 
 lodging of the Iamb, vary deserved praise 
 on my palfrey : it is a theme as fluent as the 
 sea ; turn the sands into eloquent tongues, 
 and my liorse is argument for them all : 't is 
 a subject for a sovereign to reason on, and 
 for a sovereign's sovereign to ride on; and 
 for the world (familiar to us, and unknown,) 
 to lay apart their particular functions, and 
 wonder at him. I once writ a sonnet in his 
 praise, and began thus: "Wonder of na- 
 ture."

 To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, 
 And witch the world with noble horseman-

 Had witchcraft in 't ; he grew unto his seat ; 
 And to such wond'rous doing brought his 
 
 horse. 
 As he had been incorps'd and demi-natur'd 
 With the brave beast : so far he topp'd my

 That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks. 
 Come short of what he did.

 As the ripe revenue and due of birth ; 
 Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, 
 So mighty, and so many, my defects. 
 That I would rather hide me from my great- 
 ness, — 
 Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, — 
 Than in my greatness covet to be hid, 
 And in the vapour of my glory smother'd. 
 But, God be thank'd, there is no need of me ; 
 (xind much I need to help you, if need were ;) 
 The royal tree hath left us royal fruit, 
 Which, mellow'd by the stealing hours of 
 
 time. 
 Will well become the seat of majesty, 
 And make, no doubt, us happy by his reign. 
 On him I lay what you would lay on me. 
 The right and fortune of his happy stars, — 
 Which, God defend, that I should wring 
 from him !

 Since you will buckle fortune on my back. 
 To bear her burden, whe'r I will, or no,

 But if black scandal, or foul-fac'd reproach. 
 Attend the sequel of your imposition, 
 Your mere enforcement shall acquittance me 
 From all the impure blots and stains there-

 For God he knows, and you may partly see, 
 How far I am from the desire of this.

 knife, tape, glove, shoe-tie, bracelet, horn- 
 ring, to keep my pack from fasting; they 
 throng who should buy first, as if my trink- 
 ets had been hallowed, and brought a bene- 
 diction to the buyer : by which means I saw 
 whose purse was best in picture ; and what 
 I saw, to my good use I remembered. * * 
 So that, in this time of lethargy, I pick'd 
 and cut most of their festival purses : and 
 had not the old man come in with a whoo- 
 bub against his daughter and the king's son, 
 and scar'd my choughs from the chaff, I had 
 not left a purse alive in the whole army.

 the door; who ask'd them once or twice 
 what they had in their basket : I quak'd for 
 fear, lest the lunatic knave would have 
 search 'd it; but fate, ordaining he should be 
 a cuckold, held his hand. Well : on went 
 he for a search, and away went I for foul 
 clothes. But mark the sequel, master 
 Brook : I suffered the pangs of three sev- 
 eral deaths : first, an intolerable fright, to 
 be detected with a jealous rotten bell- 
 wether : next, to be compass'd like a good 
 bilbo in tlie circumference of a peck, hilt 
 to point, heel to head : and then, to be 
 stopp'd in, like a strong distillation, with 
 stinking clothes that fretted in their own 
 grease : think of that, — a man of my kid- 
 ney, — think of that; that am as subject to 
 lieat as butter ; a man of continual dissolu- 
 tion and thaw ; it was a miracle to 'scape 
 suffocation. And in the height of this batli, 
 when I was more than halfstew'd in grease, 
 like a Dutch fish, to be thrown into the 
 Thames, and cool'd, glowing hot, in that 
 surge, like a horseshoe; think of that, — 
 hissing hot, — think of that, master Brook.

 basket, like a barrow of butclier's offal ; 
 and to be thrown into the Thames? Well, 
 if I be serv'd such another trick, I '11 have 
 my brains ta'ec out, and butter'd, and give 
 them to a dog for a new year's gift. The 
 rogues slighted me into the river with as lit- 
 tle remorse as they would have drown'd a 
 bitch's blind puppies, fifteen i' the litter : 
 and you may know by my size that I have a 
 kind of alacrity in sinking ; if the bottom 
 were as deep as hell, I should down. I had 
 been drown'd, but that the shore was shelvy 
 and shallow, — a death that I abhor; for 
 the water swells a man ; and Avhat a thing 
 should I have been when I had been 
 swell'd ! I should have been a mountain of 
 mummy.

 Avith not a drojj of allaying Tyber in 't; said 
 to be something imperfect, in favouring the 
 thirst complaint : hasty, and tinder-like, up- 
 on too trivial motion : one that converses 
 more with the buttock of the night, than 
 with the forehead of the morning. What I 
 think, I utter ; and spend my malice in my 
 breath : Meeting two such weals-men as you 
 are, (I cannot call you Lycurguses.) if the 
 drink you gave me, touch my jpalate ad- 
 versely, I make a crooked face at it. I can- 
 not say, your worships have delivered the 
 matter well, when I find the ass in com- 
 pound with the major part of your syllables ; 
 and though I must be content to bear with 
 those that say you are reverend grave men ; 
 yet they lie deadly, that tell, you have good 
 faces. If you see this in the map of my 
 microcosm, follows it, that I am known 
 well enough too? What harm can your bis- 
 son conspectuities glean out of this charac- 
 ter, if I be known well enough too?

 Despatch, I say, and find the forester. 
 We will, fair queen, up to the mountain's

 And mark the musical confusion 
 Of hounds and echo in conjunction. 
 
 Hip. I was with Hercules and Cadmus

 When in a wood of Crete they bay'd the 
 
 boar 
 With hounds of Sparta : never did I hear 
 Such gallant chiding ; for, besides the

 Seem'd all one mutual cry. I never heard 
 So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.

 Cate. He doth entreat your grace, my

 To visit him to-morrow, or next day. 
 He is within, with two right reverend fathers, 
 Divinely bent on meditation ; 
 And in no worldly suit would he be mov'd, 
 To draw him from his holy exercise. 
 * * 
 
 Buck. Ah, ha, my lord, this prince is 
 not an Edward ! 
 He is not lolling on a lewd day-bed. 
 But on his knees at meditation ; 
 Not dallying with a brace of courtezans. 
 But meditating with two deep divines ; 
 Not sleeping to engross his idle body, 
 But praying, to enrich his watchful soul :

 True ornaments to know a holy man. — 
 Famous Plantagenet, most gracious prince, 
 Lend favourable ear to our requests ; 
 And pardon us the interruption 
 Of thy deA'"otion, and right Christian zeal.

 Kent, in the commentaries Caesar writ, 
 Is term'd the civil'st place of all this isle. 
 Sweet is the country, because full of riches ; 
 The people liberal, valiant, active, wealthy ; 
 Which makes me hope you are not void of 
 
 pity. 
 I sold not Maine, I lost not Normandy; 
 Yet, to recover them, would lose my life. 
 Justice with favour have I always done ; 
 Prayers and tears have mov'd me, gifts 
 
 could never. 
 When liave I aught exacted at your hands, 
 Kent to maintain, the king, the realm, and 
 
 you? 
 Large gifts have I bestow'd on learned 
 
 clerks. 
 Because my book preferr'd me to the king : 
 
 And — seeing ignorance is the curse of God, 
 Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to 
 
 heaven, — 
 Unless you be jiossess'd with devilish spirits. 
 You cannot but forbear to murder me. 
 This tongue hath parley'd unto foreign kings 
 
 Por your behoof. 
 
 Cade. Tut ! when struck'st thou one blow 
 
 in the field? 
 Say. Great men have reaching hands : 
 oft have I struck 
 Those that I never saw, and struck them 
 dead. 
 Geo. monstrous coward ! what, to 
 
 come behind folks? 
 Say. These cheeks are pale for watching 
 
 for your good. 
 Cade. Give him a box o' the ear, and 
 that will make 'em red again. 
 
 Say. Long sitting to determine poor 
 men's causes 
 Hath made me full of sickness and diseases. 
 Cade. Ye shall have a hempen caudle

 Dick. Why dost thou quiver, man? 
 Say. The palsy, and not fear, provoketh

 no : Take him away, and behead him.

 He knows not me: I said, "Good-morrow,

 non." AVhat think you of this man, that 
 takes me for the general? He is grown a

 the pageant of Ajax. 
 
 Achil. To him, Patroclus : Tell him, — 
 I humbly desire the valiant Ajax, to invite 
 the most valorous Plector to come unarmed 
 to my tent ; and to procure safe conduct for 
 his person, of the magnanimous, and most 
 illustrious, six-or-seven-times-honoured cap-

 And I myself see not the bottom of it.

 And when I ask'd you what the matter was. 
 
 You star'd upon me with ungentle looks : 
 I urg'd you further ; then you scratch'd 
 
 your head. 
 And too impatiently stamp'd witfayour foot : 
 Yet I insisted, yet you answer'd not; 
 But, with an angry wafture of your hand, 
 Gave sign for me to leave you : So I did ; 
 Fearing to strengthen that impatience. 
 Which seem'd too much enkindled ; and, 
 
 withal. 
 Hoping it was but an effect of humour. 
 Which sometime hath his hour with every 
 
 man. 
 It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep ; 
 And, could it work so much upon your shape. 
 As it hatli ranch prevail'd on your condition,

 When he was seated, and his daughter with 
 
 him. 
 In a chariot of inestimable value, 
 A fire from heaven came, and shrivell'd up 
 Their bodies, even to loathing ; for they so

 melanclioly without cause, and merry against

 Nor do I now make moan to be abridg'd 
 From such a noble rate ; but my chief care 
 Is to come fairly off from the great debts. 
 Wherein my time, something too prodigal, 
 Hath left me gag'd. To you, Antonio,

 And all for use of that which is mine own.

 Over your threshold; monies is your suit. 
 What should I say to you? Should I not

 "Hath a dog money? is it possible 
 A cur can lend three thousand ducats?" or 
 Shall I bend low, and in a bondsman's key, 
 With 'bated breath, and whisp'ring humble-

 And quench his fiery indignation. 
 Even in the matter of mine innocence : 
 Nay, after that, consume away in rust, 
 But for containing fire to harm mine eye. 
 Are you more stubborn-hard than hammer'd

 An if an angel should have come to roe, 
 And told me Hubert should put out mine

 I would not have believ'd no tongue but 
 
 Hubert's.

 Poet. Sir, 
 
 Having often of your open bounty tasted, 
 
 Hearing you were retir'd, your friends fall'n 
 ofi". 
 
 Whose thankless natures — O abhorred 
 spirits ! 
 
 Not all the wMps of heaven are large 
 enough — 
 
 What ! to you ! 
 
 Whose star-like nobleness gave life and in- 
 fluence 
 
 To their whole being ! I 'm rapt, and can- 
 not cover 
 
 The monstrous bulk of this ingratitude 
 
 With any size of words.

 How went he under him? 
 
 Groom. So proudly, as if he disdain'd 
 
 the ground. 
 K. Rich. So proud that Bolingbroke was 
 on his back ! 
 That jade hath eat bread from my royal 
 
 hand ; 
 This hand hath made him proud with clap- 
 ping him. 
 
 Would he not stumble? Would he not fall 
 
 down, 
 (Since pride must have a fall,) and break 
 
 the neck 
 Of that i^roud man that did usurp his back? 
 Forgiveness, horse ! why do I rail on thee. 
 Since thou, created to be aw'd by man, 
 Wast born to bear? I was not made a horse ; 
 And yet I bear a burden like an ass, 
 Spur-gall'd, and tir'd, by jauncing Boling- 
 broke.

 Cor. Had you not been their father,

 Had challeng'd pity of them. Was this a 
 
 face 
 To be exposed against the warring winds? 
 To stand against the deep dread-bolted 
 
 thunder? 
 In the most terrible and nimble stroke 
 Of quick, cross lightning? to watch (poor 
 
 perdu !) 
 With this thin helm? Mine enemy's dog, 
 Though he had bit me, should have stood 
 
 that night 
 Against my fire ; And wast thou fain, poor 
 
 father, 
 To hovel thee with swine, and rogues for- 
 lorn. 
 In short and musty straw? Alack, alack! 
 'T is wonder, that thy life and wits at once 
 Had not concluded all.

 sat 
 The live-long day, with perfect expectation, 
 To see great Pompey pass the streets of 
 
 Rome : 
 And when you saw his chariot but appear, 
 Have you not made an universal shout. 
 That Tyber trembled underneath her banks. 
 To hear the replication of your sounds, 
 Made in her concave shores? 
 And do you now put on your best attire? 
 And do you now cull out a holiday? 
 And do you now strew flowers in his way. 
 That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? 
 Be gone ; 
 
 Run to your houses, fall upon your knees.

 That needs must light on this ingratitude.

 He falls to such perusal of my face. 
 As he would draw it. Long staid he so ; 
 At last, — a little shaking of mine arm, 
 And thrice his head thus waving up and 
 
 down, — 
 He rais'd a sigh so piteous and profound. 
 As it did seem to shatter all his bulk. 
 And end his being : That done, he lets me 
 
 go: 
 And, with his head over his shoulder turn'd. 
 He seem'd to find his way without his eyes ;

 If souls guide vows, if vows be sanctimony, 
 If sanctimony be the gods' delight, 
 If there be rule in unity itself. 
 This was not she. O madness of discourse. 
 That cause sets up with and against itself! 
 Bi-fold authority ! where reason can revolt 
 Without perdition, and loss assume all rea-

 AVithout revolt; this is, and is not, Cressid! 
 Within my soul there doth commence a fight 
 Of this strange nature, that a thing insepa-

 Divides more wider than the sky and earth ; 
 And yet tlie spacious breadth of this division 
 Admits no orifice for a point, as subtle 
 As is Arachne's broken woof, to enter. 
 Instance, O instance ! strong as Pluto's

 Cressid is mine, tied with the bonds of 
 heaven ; 
 
 Instance, instance ! strong as heaven it- 
 self: 
 
 The bonds of heaven are slipp'd, dissolv'd,

 And with another knot, five-finger-tied.

 reliques 
 
 Of her o'er-eaten faith, are bound to Diomed.

 abus'd, my coflFers ransack'd, my reputation 
 gnawn at ; and I shall not only receive this 
 villainous wrong, but stand under the adop- 
 tion of abominable terms, and by him that 
 does me this wrong. Terms ! names ! — 
 Amaimon sounds well ; Lucifer, well ; Bar- 
 bason, well ; yet they are devil's additions, 
 the names of fiends ! but cuckold ! wittol- 
 cuckold ! the devil himself hath not such a 
 name. Page is an ass, a secure ass ! he will 
 trust his wife ; he will not be jealous. I will 
 rather trust a Fleming with my butter, par- 
 son Hugh the Welchman with my cheese, an 
 Irishman with my aqua-vitse bottle, or a thief 
 to walk my ambling gelding, than my wife 
 with herself: then she plots, then she rumi- 
 nates, then she devises ; and what they think 
 in their hearts they may effect, they will 
 break their hearts but they will effect. 
 Heaven be prais'd for my jealousy! — 
 Eleven o'clock the hour. — I will prevent 
 this, detect my wife, be reveng'd on Falstaff, 
 and laugh at Page. I will about it ; better 
 three hours too soon than a minute too late.

 I would not, so with love I might entreat 
 
 you, 
 Be any further mov'd. What you have

 I will consider : what you have to say, 
 I will with patience hear : and find a time

 Brutus had rather be a villager, 
 Than to repute himself a son of Rome 
 Under these hard conditions as this time

 Lov'd as he loves himself: even now I met 
 him 
 
 With customary compliment ; when he, 
 
 Wafting his eyes to the contrary, and fall-

 A lip of much contempt, speeds from me ; 
 and 
 
 So leaves me, to consider what is breeding 
 
 That changes thus his manners.

 Tago. That Cassio loves her, I do well

 That she loves him, 't is apt, and of great 
 
 credit : 
 The Moor — howbeit that I endure him 
 
 not, — 
 Is of a constant, loving, noble nature ; 
 And, I dare think, he '11 prove to Desde- 
 
 mona 
 A most dear husband. Now I do love her 
 
 too; 
 Not out of absolute lust, (though, perad- 
 
 venture, 
 I stand accountant for as great a sin,) 
 But partly led to diet my revenge. 
 For that I do suspect the lusty Moor 
 Hath leap'd into my seat: the thought 
 
 whereof 
 Doth, like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my 
 
 inwards 
 And nothing can or shall content my soul, 
 
JEALOUSY.

 That judgment cannot cure.

 as I told you, he put it by once ; but, for 
 all that, to my thinking, he would fain have 
 had it. Then he offered it to him again ; 
 then he put it by again : but, to my think- 
 ing, he was very loath to lay his fin^^ers off 
 it. And then he offered it the third time ; 
 he put it the third time by : and still as 
 he refused it, the rabblement hooted, and 
 clapped their chopped hands, and threw up 
 their sweaty night-caps, and uttered such a 
 deal of stinking breath because Caesar re- 
 fused the crown, that it had almost choked 
 Csesar ; for he swooned, and fell down at it : 
 And for mine own part, I durst not laugh, 
 for fear of opening my lips and receiving 
 the bad air.

 Dangerous conceits are, in their natures, 
 
 poisons. 
 Which, at the first, are scarce found to dis- 
 taste ; 
 But, with a little act upon the blood. 
 Burn like the mines of sulphur. — I did say 
 
 so : — 
 Look, where he comes ! Not poppy, nor 
 
 mandragora, 
 Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world, 
 Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep 
 Which thou ow'dst yesterday.

 Or else, what lets it but he would be here? 
 Sister, j'ou know he promis'd me a chain ; — 
 Would that alone alone he would detain, 
 So he would keep fair quarter with his bed ! 
 I see, the jewel best enamelled 
 Will lose his beauty, yet the gold 'bides still, 
 That others touch ; and often touching will 
 Wear gold ; and no man, that hath a name, 
 By falsehood and corruption doth it shame ! 
 Since that my beauty cannot please his eye, 
 I '11 weep what's left away, and weeping die.

 another; so, and in such manner, that it 
 seem'd sorrow wept to take leave of them; 
 for their joy waded in tears. There was 
 casting up of eyes, holding up of hands ; 
 with countenance of such distraction, that 
 they were to be known by garment, not by 
 favour. Our king, being ready to leap out 
 of himself for joy of his found daughter; as 
 if that joy were now become a loss, cries, 
 " 0, thy mother, thy mother!" then asks 
 Bohemia forgiveness ; then embraces his 
 son-in-law ; then again worries he his daugh- 
 ter, with clipping her ; now he thanks the 
 old shepherd, which stands by, like a weath-

 Change places ; and, handy-dandy, which is

 May, in the sworn twelve, have a thief or

 Guiltier than him they try. What 's open 
 
 made 
 To justice, that justice seizes : what know 
 
 the laws. 
 That thieves do pass on thieves? 'T is 
 
 very pregnant, 
 The jewel that we find, we stoop and take 't. 
 Because we see it; but what we do not see 
 We tread upon, and never think of it. 
 You may not so extenuate his oflFence, 
 For I liave had such faults ; but rather tell

 When I, tliat censure him, do so oifend, 
 Let mine own judgment pattern out my 
 
 death, 
 And nothing come in partial. Sir, he must 
 
 die.

 KINDNESS. 
 
 And struck me in my very seat of judgment ; 
 Whereon, as an oflfender to your father, 
 I gave bold way to my authority, 
 And did commit you. If the deed were ill, 
 Be you contented, wearing now the garland, 
 To have a son set your decrees at nought ; 
 To pluck down justice from your awful 
 
 bench ; 
 To trip the course of law, and blunt the 
 
 sword 
 Tliat guards the peace and safety of your 
 
 person : 
 Nay, more : to spurn at your most royal im- 
 age. 
 And mock your workings in a second body. 
 
 Question your royal thoughts, make the 
 
 case yours ; 
 Be now the father, and propose a son : 
 Hear your own dignity so much profan'd. 
 See your most dreadful laws so loosely 
 
 slighted. 
 Behold yourself so by a son disdained ; 
 And then imagine me taking your part, 
 And, in your power, soft silencing your son : 
 After this cold considerance, sentence me ; 
 And, as you are a king, speak in j'our state. 
 What I have done, that misbecame my place. 
 My person, or my liege's sovereignty.

 It is too full o' the milk of human kindness. 
 To catch the nearest way : Thou would 'st

 Art not without ambition ; but without 
 The illness should attend it. What thou 
 
 would'st highly, 
 That would'st thou holily ; would'st not 
 
 play false, 
 And yet would'st wrongly win : thou 'd'st

 That which cries, "Thus thou must do, if

 And that which rather thou dost fear to do.

 Not all these, laid in bed majestical.

 Who, with a body fiU'd, and vacant mind. 
 Gets him to rest, cramm'd with distressful 
 
 bread ; 
 Never sees horrid night, the child of hell ; 
 But, like a lackey, from the rise to set. 
 Sweats in the eye of Phoebus, and all night 
 Sleeps in Elysium ; next day, after dawn, 
 Doth rise, and help Hyperion to his horse ; 
 And follow so the ever-running year 
 AVith profitable labour, to his grave : 
 And, but for ceremony, such a wretch. 
 Winding up days with toil, and nights with 
 
 sleep, 
 Had the fore-hand and vantage of a king. 
 The slave, a member of the country's peace, 
 Enjoys it ; but in gross brains little wots. 
 What watch the king keeps to maintain the 
 
 peace. 
 Whose hours the peasant best advantages.

 Not all the water in the rough rude sea

 The breath of Avorldly men cannot depose 
 The deputy elected by the Lord : 
 For every man that Bolingbroke hath 
 
 press'd. 
 To lift shrewd steel against our golden 
 
 crown, 
 God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay 
 A glorious angel : then, if angels fight. 
 Weak men must fall ; for heaven still guards 
 
 the right.

 man, as I am ; the violet smells to him as it 
 doth to me ; the element shows to him as it 
 doth to me ; all his senses have but human 
 conditions ; his ceremonies laid by, in his 
 nakedness lie appears but a man ; and 
 tliough his aifections are liigher mounted 
 than ours, yet, wlien they stoop, they stoop 
 with the like wing; therefore when he sees 
 reason of fears, as we do, his fears, out of 
 doubt, be of the same relish as ours are : 
 Yet, in reason, no man should possess him 
 with any appearance of fear, lest he, by 
 showing it, should dishearten his army.

 O God ! methinks, it were a happy life. 
 To be no better than a homely swain ; 
 To sit upon a hill, as I do now, 
 To carve out dials quaintly, point by point, 
 Thereby to see the minutes how they run : 
 How many make the hour full complete. 
 How many hours bring about the day, 
 How many days will finish up the year, 
 How many years a mortal man may live. 
 When this is known, then to divide the 
 
 times : 
 So many hours must I tend my flock ; 
 So many hours must I take my rest ; 
 So many hours must I contemplate ; 
 So many hours must I sport myself; 
 So many days my ewes have been with 
 
 young ; 
 So many weeks ere the poor fools will 
 
 yean; 
 So many years ere I shall shear the fleece ; 
 So minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, 
 
 and years, 
 Pass'd over to the end they were created. 
 Would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave. 
 Ah, what a life were this ! how sweet ! how 
 
 lovely ! 
 
 Gives not the hawtliorn bush a sweeter 
 
 shade 
 To shepherds, looking on their silly Eheep, 
 Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy 
 To kings, that fear their subjects' treachery? 
 0, yes, it doth ; a thousand fold it doth. 
 And to conclude, — the shepherd's homely 
 
 curds. 
 His cold thin drink out of his leather bottle. 
 His wonted sleep under a fresh tree's shade. 
 All which secure and sweetly he enjoys. 
 Is far beyond a prince's delicates, 
 His viands sparkling in a golden cup. 
 His body couched in a curious bed, 
 When care, mistrust, and treason wait on 
 
 him. 
 
 //. F/., 3 pt., II : 5. 968. 
 
 — Unhappy. 
 
 K. Hen. Was ever king that joy'd an 
 earthly throne. 
 And could command no more content than I? 
 No sooner was I crept out of my cradle, 
 But I was made a king, at nine months old : 
 Was never subject long'd to be a king, 
 As I do long and wish to be a subject.

 KING'S EVIL.— Cured by Royalty.

 Mai. 'T is call'd the evil : 
 
 A most miraculous work in this good king : 
 Which often, since my here-remain in Eng- 
 land, 
 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.

 able to speak for himself, when a knave is 
 not. I have served your worship truly, sir, 
 this eight years ; and if I cannot once or 
 twice in a quarter bear out a knave against 
 an honest man, I have but a very little credit

 Even like an o'ergrown lion in a cave.

 Only to stick it in their cliildren's sight. 
 For terror, not to use, in time tlie rod 
 Becomes more mock'd than fear'd ; so our

 And liberty plucks justice by the nose ;

 Goes all decorum.

 Our lock'd embrasures, strangles our dear 
 
 vows 
 Even in tlie birth of our own labouring 
 
 breath : 
 We two, that with so many thousand sighs 
 Did buy each other, must poorly sell our- 
 selves 
 With the rude brevity and discharge of one. 
 Injurious time now, with a robber's haste. 
 Crams his rich thievery up, he knows not 
 
 how : 
 As many farewells as be stars in heaven. 
 With distinct breath and consign'd kisses to 
 
 them. 
 He fumbles up into a loose adieu; 
 And scants us with a single famish'd kiss, 
 Distasted with the salt of broken tears.

 Upon his death-bed he by will bequeath'd 
 His lands to me ; and took it, on his death. 
 That this, my mother's son, was none of his ;

 Who, as you say, took pains to get this son. 
 
 Had of your father claim'dthis son for his? 
 
 In sooth, good friend, your father might 
 have kept 
 
 This calf, bred from his cow, from all the 
 world ; 
 
 In sooth, he might: then, if he were my 
 brother's, 
 
 My brother might not claim him ; nor your 
 father, 
 
 Being none of his, refuse him : this con-

 Your father's heir must have your father's

 with my education. This is it, Adam, that 
 grieves me ; and the spirit of my father,

 So when this thief, this traitor, Bolingbroke,

 drive the gentleman (as I know his youth

 Bass. In my school-days, when I had 
 
 lost one shaft 
 I shot his fellow of the self-same flight 
 The self-same way, with more advised 
 
 watcli 
 To find the other forth ; and, by adventur- 
 ing both, 
 I oft found both : I urge this childhood 
 
 proof. 
 Because what follows is pure innocence. 
 I owe you much ; and, like a wilful 
 
 youth, 
 That which I owe is lost : but if you 
 
 please 
 To shoot another arrow tliat self-way 
 "Which you did shoot the first, I do not 
 
 doubt. 
 
 As I will watch the aim, or to find both. 
 Or bring your latter hazard back again, 
 An,d thankfully rest debtor for the first.

 Prove our commodities.

 You have not sought her help ; of Avhose

 For the like loss, I have her sovereign aid. 
 And rest myself content. 
 
 Alo7i. You the like loss? 
 
 Fro. As great to me, as late ; and sup-

 To make the dear loss, have I means much

 Than you may call to comfort you ; for I 
 Have lost my daughter.

 Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, 
 Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: 
 So I, to find a mother and a brother, 
 In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.

 Jul. The more thou damm'st it up, the

 Thou know'st, being stopp'd, impatiently 
 
 doth rage ; 
 But, when his fair course is not hindered, 
 He malces sweet music with the enamell'd 
 
 stones. 
 Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge 
 Pie overtaketh in his pilgrimage ; 
 And so by many winding nooks he strays, 
 With willing sport, to the wild ocean. 
 Then let me go, and hinder not my course : 
 I '11 be as patient as a gentle stream, 
 And make a pastime of each weary step. 
 Till the last step has brought me to my 
 
 love ; 
 And there I '11 rest, as, after much tur- 
 moil, 
 A blessed soul doth in Elysium.

 Look bleak i' tlie cold wind : withal, full oft

 Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.

 — Advantages no Account in. 
 
 K. Hen. Marry, if you would put me to 
 verses, or to dance for your sake, Kate, 
 why you undid me : for the one, I have 
 neither words nor measure ; and for the 
 other, I have no strength in measure, yet a 
 reasonable measure in strength. If I could 
 win a lady at leap-frog, or by vaulting into 
 my saddle with my armour on my back, un- 
 der the correction of bragging be it spoken, 
 I should quickly leap into a wife. Or, if I 
 miglit buffet for my love, or bound my horse 
 for her favours, I could lay on like a butch- 
 er, and sit like a jack-an-apes, never off: 
 but, before God, I cannot look greenly, nor 
 gasp out my eloquence, nor I have no cun- 
 ning in protestation ; only down-right oaths, 
 which I never use till urged, nor never break 
 for urginu'. If thou canst love a fellow of this 
 temper, Kate, whose face is not worth sun- 
 burning, that never looks in his glass for 
 love of any thing he sees there, let thine 
 eye be thy cook. I speak to thee plain sol- 
 dier : If thou canst love me for this, take 
 me : if not, to say to thee — that I shall die, 
 is true ; but — forthylove, by the Lord, no ; 
 yet I love thee too. And while thou livest, 
 dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and un- 
 coined constancy ; for he perforce must do 
 thee right, because he hath not the gift to 
 M^oo in other places : for these fellows of in- 
 finite tongue, that can rhyme themselves 
 into ladies' favours, — they do always reason 
 themselves out again. What! a speaker is 
 but a prater : a rhyme is but a ballad. A 
 good leg will fall ; a straight back will stoop ; 
 a black beard will turn white ; a curled pate 
 will grow bald ; a fair face will wither ; a 
 full eye will wax hollow : but a good heart, 
 Kate, is the sun and moon ; or, rather the 
 sun, and not the moon ; for it shines bright, 
 and never changes, but keeps his course 
 truly. If thou would have such a one, take 
 me : And take me, take a soldier ; take a 
 soldier, take a Icing : And what sayst thou 
 then to my love? speak, my fair, and fairly, 
 I pray thee.

 love, will, after he hath laughed at such shal- 
 low follies in others, become the argument 
 of his own scorn by falling in love : — and 
 sucli a man is Claudio. I have known when 
 there was no music with him but the drum 
 and the fife ; and now had he rather hear 
 the tabor and the pipe : I have known when 
 he would have walked ten mile afoot, to see 
 a good armour; and now will he lie ten 
 nights awake, carving the fashion of a new 
 doublet. He was wont to speak plain, and 
 to the purpose, like an honest man and a 
 soldier ; and now he is turn'd orthographer ; 
 his vrords are a very fantastical banquet, 
 just so many strange dishes. May I be so 
 converted, and see with these eyes? I can- 
 not tell ; I think not. I will not be sworn 
 but love may transform me to an oyster ; 
 but I '11 take my oath on it, till he hath 
 made an oyster of me, he shall never make 
 me such a fool. One woman is fair; yet I 
 am well : another is wise ; yet I am well : 
 another virtuous, yet I am well : but till all 
 graces be in one woman, one woman shall 
 not come in my grace. Rich she shall be, 
 that's certain; wise, or I '11 none; virtuous, 
 or I '11 never cheapen her ; fair, or I '11 
 never look on her ; mild, or come not near 
 me ; noble, or not I for an angel ; of good 
 discourse, an excellent musician, and her 
 hair shall be of what colour it please God.

 Jul. * * 
 O Proteus, let this habit make thee blush ! 
 Be thou asham'd, that I have took upon 
 
 me 
 Such an immodest raiment, if shame live 
 In a disguise of love : 
 It is the lesser blot, modesty finds. 
 Women to change their shapes, than men 
 
 their minds.

 Rom. She speaks : — 
 
 0, speak again, bright angel ! for thou art 
 As glorious to this night, being o'er 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-passing clouds, 
 And sails upon the bosom of the air.

 — Men never Die of. 
 
 Orl. Then, in mine own person, I die. 
 
 Eos. No, faith, die by attorney. The 
 poor world is almost six thousand years 
 old, and in all this time there was not any 
 man died in his own person, videlicit, in a 
 love-cause. Troilus had liis brains dasli'd 
 out with a Grecian club : yet he did what 
 he could to die before ; and he is one of the 
 patterns of love. Leander, he would have 
 lived many a fair year, though Hero had 
 turn'd nun, if it had not been for a hot mid- 
 summer night : for, good youth, he went 
 but forth to wash him in the Hellespont, 
 and, being taken with the cramp, was 
 drown'd ; and the foolish coroners of that 
 age found it was — Hero of Sestos. But 
 these are all lies ; men have died from time 
 to time, and worms have eaten them, but 
 not for love. 
 
 A. Y., IV: 1. 429.

 If I speak true ; if hollowly, invert 
 What best is boded me, to mischief! I, 
 Beyond all limit of what else i' the world. 
 Do love, prize, honour you. 
 
 3Iira. I am a fool,

 I think there is not half a kiss to choose 
 Who loves another best.

 Sil. No, Corin, being old, thou canst not 
 guess ; 
 Though in thy youth thou wast as true a 
 
 lover 
 As ever sigh'd upon a midnight pillow : 
 But if thy love were ever like to mine, 
 (As sure I think did never man love so,) 
 How many actions most ridiculous 
 Hast thou been drawn to by thy fantasy? 
 Cor. Into a thousand that I have for- 
 gotten. 
 Sil. 0, thou didst then never love so 
 heartily : 
 If thou remember'et not the slightest folly 
 That ever love did make thee run into. 
 Thou hast not lov'd : 
 Or if thou hast not sat as I do now. 
 Wearying thy hearer in thy mistress' praise, 
 
 Thou hast not lov'd : 
 
 Or if thou has not broke from company 
 
 Abruptly, as my passion now makes me, 
 
 Thou hast not lov'd : 
 
 O Phebe, Phebe, Phebe !

 Jul. How cam'st thou hither, tell me? 
 and wherefore? 
 The orchard walls are high, and hard to 
 
 climb ; 
 And the place death, considering Avho thou 
 
 art. 
 If any of my kinsmen find thee here. 
 
 Rom. With love's light wings did I o'er- 
 perch these walls ; 
 Por stony limits cannot hold love out : 
 And what love can do, that dares love at- 
 tempt; 
 Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me. 
 Jul. If they do see thee, they will mur- 
 der thee. 
 Rom. Alack ! there lies more peril in 
 thine eye. 
 Than twenty of their swords : look thou 
 
 but sweet, 
 And I am proof against their enmity.

 To try his strength, forsaketh yet the lists

 mour it with turning up your eyelids ; sigli 
 a note, and sing a note ; sometime through 
 the throjrt, as if you swallowed love with 
 singing love ; sometimes through the nose, 
 as if you snuffed up love by smelling love ; 
 Avith your hat, penthouselike, o'er the shop 
 of your eyes ; with your arms crossed on 
 your thin belly-doublet, like a rabbit on a 
 spit ; or your hands in your pocket, like a 
 man after the old painting ; and keep not 
 too long in one tune, but a snip and away : 
 These are complements, these are humours. 
 
 Z.Z., III: 1. 280. 
 
 Val. Why, how know you that I am in 
 love? 
 
 Speed. Marry, by these special marks : 
 First, you have learn'd, like sir Proteus, to 
 wreath your arms like a malcontent; to 
 relish a love-song, like a robin-redbreast ; 
 to walk alone, like one that had the pesti- 
 lence ; to sigh, like a schoolboy that had 
 lost his A. B. C. ; to weep, like a young 
 wench that liad buried her grandam; to 
 fast, like one that takes diet ; to watch, like 
 one that fears robbing; to speak puling, 
 like a beggar at Hallowmas. You were 
 wont, when you laughed, to crow lilce a 
 cock ; when you walk'd, to walk like one 
 of the lions ; wlien you fasted, it was pres- 
 ently after dinner; when you look'd sadly, 
 it was for want of money : and now you 
 are metamorphos'd with a mistress, that, 
 when I look on you, I can hardly think you 
 my master.

 Prodigious birth of love it is to me, 
 That I must love a loathed enemy. 
 
 R. J., 1 : 5. 1250.

 At first I did adore a twinkling star, 
 But now I worship a celestial sun.

 Jul. Conceit, more rich in matter than 
 in words. 
 Brags of his substance, not of ornament : 
 They are but beggars that can count their 
 
 worth ; 
 But my true love is grown to such excess, 
 I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth. 
 
 R. J., II : 6. 1258. 
 
 — True, never Weary. 
 
 Jul. A true-devoted pilgrim is not weary 
 To measure kingdoms with his feeble steps ; 
 Much less shall she that hath Love's wings

 And when the flight is made to one so dear. 
 Of such divine perfection, as sir Proteus.

 ward bud 
 Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, 
 Even so by love the young and tender wit 
 Is turn'd to folly ; blasting in the bud.

 And all the fair effects of future hoiies.

 That before you, and next unto high Heaven, 
 I love your son : — 
 My friends were poor but honest ; so 's my 
 
 love : 
 Be not offended ; for it hurts not him 
 That he is lov'd of me. I follow him not 
 By any token of presumptuous suit ; 
 Nor would I have him till I do deserve him ; 
 Yet never know how that desert should be. 
 I know I love in vain, strive against hope ; 
 Yet, in this captious and intenible sieA^e, 
 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,

 no sooner met, but they look'd ; no sooner 
 look'd, but they lov'd ; no sooner lov'd, but 
 they sigh'd; no sooner sigh'd, but they ask'd 
 one another the reason ; no sooner knew the 
 reason, but they soiight the remedy : and in 
 these degrees have they made a pair of stairs 
 to marriage, which they will climb incon-

 Love use reason for his precisian, he admits him not

 I; go to, then, there's sympathy: you are merry, 
 so am 1; Ha! ha! then there 's more sympathy; 
 you love sack, and so do I ; Would you desire better 
 sympathy? Let it suffice thee, mistress Page, (at 
 the least, if the love of soldier can suffice,) that I 
 love thee. I will not say, pity me, 't is not a soldier-

 Eom. O, she doth teach the torches to

 Her beauty hangs upon the cheek of night 
 Like a rich jewel in an Etliiop's ear : 
 Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear ! 
 So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, 
 As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. 
 The measure done, I '11 Avatch her place of 
 
 stand, 
 And, touching hers, make blessed my rude 
 
 hand. 
 Did my heart love till now? forswear it,

 For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

 If not with vantage, as Demetrius' ; 
 And, which is more than all these boasts

 I am belov'd of beauteous Hermia. 
 Why should not I then prosecute my right?

 Ros. A lean cheek, which you have not : 
 a blue eye, and sunken, which you have 
 not : an unquestionable spirit, which you 
 have not : a beard neglected, which you 
 have not : (but I pardon you for that ; for, 
 simply, your liaving in beard is a younger 
 brother's revenue :) Then your hose should 
 be ungarter'd, your bonnet unhanded, 
 your sleeve unbutton'd, your shoe unti'd, 
 and everything about you demonstrating a 
 careless desolation. But you are no such

 seeming the lover of any other.

 For valour, is not Love a Hercules,

 As bright Apollo's lute, strung with his

 And when Love speaks, the voice of all the

 Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony. 
 Never durst poet touch a pen to write, 
 Until his ink were temper 'd with Love's

 And plant in tyrants mild humility.

 I swear to thee by Cupid's strongest bow ; 
 By his best arrow with the golden head ; 
 By the simplicity of Venus' doves; 
 By that which knitteth souls, and prospers 
 
 loves ; 
 And by that fire which burn'd the Carthage

 When the false Trojan under sail was seen; 
 By all the vows that ever men have broke, 
 In number more than ever women spoke ;

 Is the j'oung Dauphin every way complete ; 
 If not complete, O say, he is not she ; 
 And she again wants nothing, to name want, 
 If want it be not, that she is not he : 
 He is the half part of a blessed man, 
 Left to be finished by such as she ; 
 And slie a fair divided excellence. 
 Whose fulness of perfection lies in him. 
 O, two such silver currents, when they join 
 Do glorify the banks that bound them in : 
 And two such shores to two such streams 
 
 made one. 
 Two such controlling bounds shall you be, 
 
 kings. 
 To these two princes, if you marry them.

 A sun, and moon; which kept their course, 
 
 and lighted 
 The little O, the earth. 
 
 Dot. Most sovereign creature, — 
 
 Cleo. His legs bestrid the ocean : his 
 
 rear'd arm 
 Crested the world : his voice was propertied 
 As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends ; 
 But when he meant to quail and shake the 
 
 orb, 
 He was as rattling thunder. For his bounty. 
 There was no winter in 't; an autumn 't 
 
 ■was. 
 That grew the more by reaping : His de- 
 lights 
 Were dolphin-like ; they show'd his back 
 
 above 
 The element they liv'd in : In his livery 
 Walk'd crowns, and crownets ; realms and 
 
 islands were 
 As plates dropp'd from his pocket.

 word; 
 Speaking in deeds, and deedless in his 
 tongue ; 
 
 Not soon provok'd, nor, being provok'd, 
 
 soon calm'd : 
 His heart and hand both open, and both 
 
 free; 
 For what he has, he gives, what thinks, he 
 
 shows ; 
 Yet gives he not till judgment guide his 
 
 bounty. 
 Nor dignifies an impair thought witli breath : 
 Manly as Hector, but more dangerous ; 
 For Hector, in his blaze of wrath, sub- 
 scribes 
 To tender objects ; but he, in heat of action. 
 Is more vindicative than jealous love : 
 They call him Troilus ; and on him erect 
 A second hope, as fairly built as Hector. 
 Thus says iEneas ; one that knows the 
 
 youth 
 Even to his inches, and, with private soul, 
 Did in great Ilion thus translate him to me.

 The truth is, she and I, long since contracted. 
 Are now so sure that nothing can dissolve us. 
 Th' offence is holy that she hath committed : 
 And this deceit loses the name of craft. 
 Of disobedience, or unduteous title ; 
 Since therein she doth evitate and shun 
 A thousand irreligious cursed hours. 
 Which forced marriage would have brought 
 upon her.

 As if the vicar meant to cozen him. 
 But after many ceremonies done, 
 He calls for wine : — "A health ! ' ' quoth 
 
 he, as if 
 He had been aboard, carousing to his 
 
 mates 
 After a storm : — QuatTd off the muscadel. 
 And threw the sops all in the sexton's face ; 
 Having no other reason, — 
 But that his beard grew thin and hungerly. 
 And seem'd to ask him sops as he was 
 
 drinking. 
 This done, he took the bride about the 
 
 neck, 
 And kiss'd her lips with such a clamorous 
 
 smack, 
 That, at the parting, all the church did 
 
 echo. 
 And I, seeing this, came thence for very

 choly, which is emulation; nor the musi- 
 cian's, which is fantastical; nor the court- 
 ier's, which is proud; nor the soldier's, 
 which is ambitious ; 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 sundiy contemplation of my 
 travels, in which my often rumination wraps 
 me in a most humorous sadness.

 Ajax. Yes, lion-sick, sick of proud 
 heart : you may call it melancholy, if you

 pride.

 Clo. By my troth, I take my young lord

 Count. By what observance, I pray you? 
 
 Clo. AVhy, 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 melan- 
 choly hold a goodly manor for a song.

 hensions, motions, revolutions : these are 
 begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished 
 in the womb of ^Jta mater, and delivered 
 upon the mellowing of occasion : But the

 I am thankful for it.

 The maid is fair, o' the youngest for a

 And I have bred her at my dearest cost

 Our men more perfect in the use of arms.

 Por. The quality of mercy is not strain'd ; 
 It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven

 It blesscth 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. 
 
MERCY.

 Away from light steals home my heavy son, 
 And larivate in his chamber pens himself; 
 Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight

 yond same cloud cannot choose but fall by 
 pailfuUs. — What have we here, — a man or 
 a fish? Dead or alive? A fish: he smells 
 like a fish ; a very ancient and fish-like 
 smell ; a kind of (not of the newest) Poor 
 John ; a strange fish ! Were I in England 
 now, (as once I was,) and had but this fish 
 painted, not a holiday fool there but would 
 give a piece of silver : there would this 
 monster make a man; any strange beast 
 there makes a man : when they will not 
 give a doit to relieve a lame beggar, they 
 will lay out ten to see a dead Indian. Legg'd 
 like a man ! and his fins like arms ! Warm, 
 o' my troth ! I do now let loose my opinion, 
 hold it no longer, —this is no fish, but an 
 islander, that hath lately suflTered by a thun- 
 der-bolt. Alas ! the storm is come again : 
 my best way is to creep under his gaberdine ; 
 there is no other slielter hereabout. Misery 
 acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. I 
 will here shroud till the dregs of the storm 
 be past.

 Young Arthur is my son, and he is lost :

 Preach some philosophy to make me mad. 
 And thou shalt be canoniz'd, cardinal ; 
 Eor, being not mad, but sensible of grief. 
 My reasonable part produces reason 
 How I may be deliver'd of these Avoes,

 Devouring pestilence hangs in our air, 
 
 And thou art flying to a fresher clime.

 The grass whereon thou tread'st, the pres-

 Made glorious summer by this sun of York ; 
 And all the clouds, that lower'd upon our 
 
 house. 
 In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. 
 Now are our brows bound with victorious 
 
 wreaths ; 
 Our bruised arms hung up for monuments ; 
 Our stern alarums changed to merry meet- 
 ings, 
 Our dreadful marches to delightful meas- 
 ures. 
 Grim-visag'd war hath smooth'd his wrinkled 
 
 front ; 
 And now, — instead of mounting barbed 
 
 steeds, 
 To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, — 
 He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber, 
 To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. 
 But I, — that am not shap'd for sportive 
 
 tricks. 
 Nor made to court an amorous, looking- 
 glass ; 
 I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's 
 
 majesty. 
 To strut before a wanton ambling nymph ; 
 I, 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 ; 
 And therefore, — since I cannot prove a 
 
 lover, 
 To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — 
 I am determined to prove a villain, 
 And hate the idle pleasures of these days. 
 Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous, 
 By drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams, 
 
 To set my brother Clarence, and the king. 
 In deadly hate the one against the other : 
 And, if king Edward be as true and just, 
 As I am subtle, false, and treacherous. 
 This day should Clarence closely be mew'd 
 
 up; 
 About a prophecy, which says — that G 
 Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.

 loathe him; then entertain him, then for-

 Thou hast one son, for his sake pity me ; 
 
 Lest, in revenge thereof, — sithGodis just, —

 Ah, let me live in prison all my days ;

 MURDER. 
 
 "Upon the life of this thrice-famed dulie. 
 Suf. A dreadful oath, sworn with a sol- 
 emn tongue ! 
 What instance gives lord Warwiclc for his 
 
 vow? 
 War. See, how the blood is settled in 
 
 his face ! 
 Oft have I seen a timely-parted ghost, 
 Of ashy semblance, meagre, pale, and 
 
 bloodless. 
 Being all descended to the labouring heart; 
 "Who, in the conflict that it holds with death, 
 Attracts the same for aidance 'gainst the 
 
 enemy ; 
 "Which with the heart there cools and ne'er 
 
 returneth 
 To blush and beautify the cheek again. 
 But, see, his face is black, and full of blood ; 
 His eye-balls further out than when he liv'd, 
 Staring full ghastly like a strangled man : 
 His hair uprear'd, his nostrils stretch'd 
 
 with struggling ; 
 His hands abroad display'd, as one that 
 
 grasp 'd 
 And tugg'd for life, and was by strength 
 
 subdu'd. 
 Look on the sheets, his hair, you see, is 
 
 sticking ; 
 His well-proportion'd beard made rough and 
 
 rugged, 
 Like to the summer's corn by tempest lodg'd. 
 It cannot be, but he was murder'd here ; 
 The least of all these signs were probable.

 As broad, and general, as the casing air; 
 But now, I am cabin 'd, cribb'd, confin'd, 
 
 bound in

 safe? 
 Mur. Ay, my good lord : safe in a ditch 
 he bides, 
 "With twenty trenched gashes on his head ; 
 The least a death to nature. 
 
 Macb. Thanks for that : 
 
 There the grown serpent lies ; the worm, 
 
 that 's fled. 
 Hath nature that in time will venom breed, 
 No teeth for the present.

 My breast can better brook thy dagger's 
 point, 
 
 Than can my ears that tragic history. — 
 
 But wherefore dost thoii come? is 't for my 
 life? 
 Glo. Think'stthou, lam an executioner? 
 K. Hen. A persecutor, I am sure, thou 
 art; 
 
 If murdering innocents be executing, 
 
 Why, then thou art an executioner. 
 
 Glo. Thy son I kill'd for his presump- 
 tion. 
 K. Hen. Hadst thou been kill'd, when 
 first thou didst presume, 
 
 Thou hadst not liv'd to kill a son of mine. 
 
 And thus I prophesy, that many a thous- 
 and, 
 
 Which now mistrust no parcel of my fear ; 
 
 And many an old man's sigh, and many a 
 widow's, 
 
 And many an orphan's water-standing eye, — 
 
 Men for their sons', wives for their hus- 
 bands' fate. 
 
 And orphans for their parents' timeless 
 death, — 
 
 Shall rue the hour that ever thou wast born. 
 
 The owl shriek'd at thy birth, an evil sign; 
 
 The night-crow cried, aboding luckless time ; 
 
 Dogs howl'd, and hideous tempests shook 
 down trees ; 
 
 The raven rook'd her on the chimney's top, 
 
 And chattering pies in dismal discords sung. 
 
 Thy mother felt more than a mother's pain, 
 
 And yet brought forth less than a mother's 
 hope ; 
 
 To wit, — an indigest deformed lump, 
 
 Not like the fruit of such a goodly tree. 
 
 Teeth hadst thou in thy head, when thou 
 wast born, 
 
 To signif}-, — thou cam'st to bite the world : 
 
 And, if the rest be true which I have heard. 
 
 Thou cam'st

 foot, 
 And spurn upon thee, beggar, for thy bold- 
 ness. 
 Anne. What, do you tremble? are you 
 
 all afraid? 
 Alas, I blame you not ; for you are mortal, 
 And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil. — 
 Avaunt, thou dreadful minister of hell ! 
 Thou had'st but power over his mortal body. 
 His soul thou canst not have ; therefore, be 
 
 gone. 
 Glo. Sweet saint, for charity, be not so 
 
 curst. 
 Anne. Foul devil, for God's sake, hence, 
 
 and trouble us not ; 
 For thou hast made the happy earth thy 
 
 hell, 
 Fill'd it with cursing cries, and deep ex- 
 claims. 
 If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, 
 Behold this pattern of thy butcheries : — 
 0, gentlemen, see, see ! dead Henry's wounds 
 Open their congeal'd mouths, and bleed 
 
 afresh ! 
 Blush, blush, thou lump of foul deformity ; 
 For 't is thy presence that exhales this blood 
 From cold and empty veins, where no blood 
 
 dwells ; 
 
 Thy deed, inhuman and unnatural. 
 
 O God, which this blood mad'st, revenge his 
 
 death ! 
 O earth, which this blood drink'st, revenge 
 
 his death ! 
 Either, heaven, with lightning strike the 
 
 murderer dead, 
 Or, earth, gape open wide, and eat him 
 
 quick ; 
 As thou dost swallow up this good king's 
 
 blood, 
 Which his hell-govern 'd arm hath butchered ! 
 Glo. Lady, you know no rules of charity. 
 Which renders good for bad, blessings for 
 
 curses.

 Lor. The reason is, your spirits are at-

 For do but note a wild and wanton herd. 
 Or race of youthful and unhandled colts. 
 Fetching mad bounds, bellowing, and neigh- 
 ing loud, 
 Which is the hot condition of their blood ; 
 If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound. 
 Or any air of music touch their ears.

 Did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones, 
 
 and floods, —

 rage. 
 But music for the time doth change his na-

 The man that hath no music in himself, 
 Nor is not mov'd Avith concord of sweet 
 
 sounds. 
 Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils ;

 Thou art thyself though, not a Montague. 
 AVhat 's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, 
 Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part 
 Belonging to a man. O, be some other name ! 
 What 's in a name ? that which we call a rose. 
 By any other name would smell as sweet ; 
 So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, 
 Retain that dear perfection which he owes. 
 Without that title : — Romeo, doff'thy name ; 
 And for that name, which is no part of thee, 
 Take all myself.

 Young Arthur's death is common in their

 And when they talk of him, they shake their

 And whisper one another in the ear ; 
 And he that speaks doth gripe the hearer's

 While he that hears makes fearful action, 
 With wrinkled brows, with nods, with roll-

 I saw a smith stand with his hammer, thus. 
 And whilst his iron did on the anvil cool. 
 With open mouth swallowing a tailor's

 Standing on slippers, (whicli his nimble

 Staying no longer question.

 Now, what says the world 
 To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff 
 My head with more ill news, for it is full. 
 
 K. J., IV : 2. 667. 
 
 — Impossibility of Believing. 
 
 Const. Gone to be married ! gone to 
 
 swear a peace ! 
 Ealse blood to false blood join'd ! Gone to 
 
 be friends ! 
 Shall Lewis have Blanch? and Blanch those 
 
 provinces? 
 It is not so ; thou hast misspoke, misheard ; 
 Be well advis'd, tell o'er thy tale again : 
 It cannot be ; tliou dost but say, 't is so ; 
 I trust, I may not trust thee ; for thy word 
 Is but the vain breath of a common man : 
 Believe me, I do not believe thee, man ; 
 I have a king's oath to the contrary. 
 Thou shalt be punish'd for thus frighting me. 
 For I am sick, and capable of fears ; 
 Oppress'd with wrongs, and therefore full of 
 
 fears ; 
 A widow, husbandless, subject to fears ; 
 A woman, naturally born to fears ; 
 And though thou now confess, thou didst 
 
 but jest, 
 With my vex'd spirits I cannot take a truce, 
 But they will quake and tremble all this day. 
 What dost thou mean by shaking of thy head? 
 Why dost thou look so sadly on my son? 
 What means that hand upon that breast of 
 
 thine ? 
 Why holds thine eye that lamentable rheum, 
 Like a proud river peering o'er its bounds? 
 Be these sad signs confirmers of thy words? 
 Then speak again ; not all thy former tale, 
 But this one word, whether thy tale be true. 
 Sal. As true, as, I believe, you think 
 
 them false. 
 That give you cause to prove my saying true. 
 A'. ^.,111: 1. 656. 
 
 — Indefinite. 
 
 K. Rich. My mind is chang'd. — Stanley, 
 
 what news with you? 
 Stan. None good, my liege, to please 
 
 you with the hearing ; 
 Nor none so bad, but well may be reported.

 K. Rich. Heyday, a riddle ! neither good 
 nor bad ! 
 Wliat neod'st thou run so many miles about, 
 "Wlien thou may'st tell thy tale the nearest 
 
 way? 
 Once more, what news? 
 
 Stan. Richmond is on the seas. 
 
 K. Rich. There let him sink, and be the 
 seas on him ! 
 White-liver'd runagate. 
 
 R. III., IV : 4. 1039. 
 
 — Told merrily. 
 
 Jul. Now, good sweet nurse, — O lord! 
 why look'st thou sad? 
 Though news be sad, yet tell them merrily ; 
 If good, thou sham'st the music of sweet 
 
 news 
 By playing it to me with so sour a face. 
 
 R. J., II : 5. 1257. 
 
 — Varied and discordant. 
 
 Oxf. I like it well, that our fair queen 
 and mistress 
 Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns 
 at his. 
 Prince. Nay, mark, how Lewis stamps 
 as he were nettled : 
 I hope, all 's for the best. 
 
 K. Lew. Warwick, what are thy news ? 
 
 and yours, fair queen? 
 Q. Mar. Mine, such as fill my heart 
 
 with unhop'd joys. 
 War. Mine, full of sorrow and heart's 
 discontent.

 How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this 
 
 bank! 
 Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music 
 Creep in our ears : soft stillness, and the 
 
 night, 
 Become the touches of sweet harmony. 
 Sit, Jessica. Look, how the floor of heaven 
 Is thick inlaid with patens of bright gold. 
 There 's not the smallest orb which thou be- 
 
 hold'st. 
 But in his motion like an angel sings, 
 Still quiring to the young-ey'd cherubin : 
 Such harmony is in immortal souls : 
 But whilst this muddy vesture of decay 
 Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. — 
 Jil. v., V : 1. 388. 
 
 Lor. The moon shines bright : — In such 
 a night as this, 
 
 When the sweet wind did gently kiss the 
 trees. 
 
 And they did make no noise, — in sucli a 
 night, 
 
 Troilus, methinks, mounted the Trojan walls. 
 
 And sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian tents. 
 
 Where Cressid lay that night. 
 Jes. In such a night. 
 
 Did Thisbe fearfully o'ertrip the dew ; 
 
 And saw the lion's shadow ere himself. 
 
 And ran dismay'd away. 
 
 Lor. In such a night. 
 
 Stood Dido with a willow in her hand 
 
 Upon the wild sea-banks, and wav'd her love 
 
 To come again to Carthage. 
 
 Jes. In such a night, 
 
 Medea gather'd the enchanted herbs 
 
 That di4 renew old iEson. 
 
 Lor. In such a night, 
 
 Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew ; 
 
 And with an unthrift love did run from Ven- 
 ice, 
 
 As far as Belmont. 
 
NIGHT.

 NIGHT. 
 
 Jes. In such a night, 
 
 Did young Lorenzo swear he lov'd her 
 
 well ; 
 Stealing her soul with many vows of faith, 
 And ne'er a true one. 
 
 Lor. In such a night, 
 
 Did pretty Jessica, like a little shrew, 
 
 Slander her love, and he forgave it her. 
 
 Jes. I would out-night you, did no body 
 
 come : 
 
 But, hark, I hear the footing of a man.

 Whiles night's black agents to their prey do 
 
 rouse.

 That all the world will be in love with night. 
 And pay no worship to the garish sun.

 Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud. 
 Puts the wretch, that lies in woe. 
 
 In remembrance of a shroud. 
 Now it is the time of night, 
 
 That the graves, all gaping wide. 
 Every one lets forth his sprite. 
 
 In the church-way paths to glide : 
 And Ave fairies, that do run 
 
 By the triple Hecate's team.

 NOBILITY.

 Ca'p. The gaudy, blabbing, and remorse-

 Is crept into the bosom of the sea ; 
 
 And now loud-howling wolves arouse the 
 jades 
 
 That drag the tragic melancholy night ; 
 
 AVho, Avith their drowsy, slow, and flagging 
 wings 
 
 Clip dead men's graves, and from their mis- 
 ty jaws 
 
 Breathe foul contagious darkness in the air.

 — Time to Call up Spirits. 
 
 Baling. Patience, good lady ; wizards 
 know their times : 
 
 Deep night, dark night, the silence of the 
 night, 
 
 The time of night when Troy was set on fire ; 
 
 Tlie time when screech-owls cry, and ban- 
 dogs howl, 
 
 And spirits walk, and ghosts break up their 
 graves, 
 
 That time best fits the work we have in hand. 
 ff. F/., 2pt., I: 4. 914.

 Chos. The country cocks do crow, the 
 
 clocks do toll. 
 
 And the third hour of drowsy morning name.

 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.

 1 Pat. This man has marr'd his fortune. 
 Men. His nature is too noble for the

 He would not flatter Neptune for his tri- 
 dent. 
 Or Jove for his power to thunder. His heart 's 
 
 his mouth : 
 What his breast forges, that his tongue must 
 
 vent: 
 And, being angry, does forget that ever 
 He heard the name of death.

 vour. 
 Par be it, we should honor such as these 
 With humble suit : no, rather let my head 
 Stoop to the block, than these knees bow to 
 
 any. 
 Save to the God of heaven, and to my king ; 
 And sooner dance upon a bloody pole. 
 Than stand uncover'd to the vulgar groom. 
 True nobility is exempt from fear : — 
 More can I bear, than you dare execute. 
 Cap. Hale him away, and let him talk no 
 
 more. 
 Suf. Come, soldiers, show what cruelty 
 ye can. 
 That this my death may never be forgot ! — 
 Great men oft die by vile bezonians : 
 A Poman sworder and banditto slave, 
 Murder'd sweet TuUy ; Brutus ' bastard hand 
 Stabb'd Julius Caesar; savage islanders, 
 Pompey the Great : and Suffolk dies by pi-

 Tit. Tribunes, I thank you : and this

 That you create your emperor's eldest 
 
 son, 
 Lord Saturnine ; whose virtues will, I 
 
 hope, 
 Reflect on Rome, as Titan's rays on earth, 
 And ripen justice in this commonweal : 
 Then, if you will elect by my advice, 
 Crown him, and say, "Long live our em- 
 peror! "

 Clo. Marry, you are the wiser man ; for 
 many a man's tongue shakes out his master's 
 undoing. To say nothing, to do nothing, to 
 know nothing, and to have nothing, is to be 
 a great part of your title : which is within a 
 very little of nothing.

 NOVELTY.— In Request.

 You can endure the livery of a nun ;

 To live a barren sister all your life.

 Flu. He is a craven and a villain else, 
 an 't please your majesty, in my conscience. 
 
 K. Hen. It may be, his enemy is a gen- 
 tleman of great sort, quite from the answer 
 of his degree. 
 
 Flu. Though he be as goot a gentleman 
 as the tevil is, as Lucifer and Belzebub liim- 
 sef, it is necessary, look your grace, that he 
 keep his vow and his oath : if he be per- 
 j ured, see you now, his reputation is as arrant 
 a villain, and a Jack-sauce, as ever his plack 
 shoe trod upon Got's ground and his earth, 
 in my conscience la.

 Aar. What if I do not? as, indeed, I do 
 
 not: 
 Yet, — for I know thou art religious. 
 And hast a thing within thee, called con- 
 science ; 
 With twenty popish tricks and ceremonies. 
 Which I have seen thee careful to observe, — 
 Therefore I urge thy oath: — For that I 
 
 know. 
 An idiot holds his bauble for a god. 
 And keeps the oath, which by that god he 
 
 swears ; 
 To that I'll urge him: — Therefore, thou 
 
 shalt vow 
 By that same god, what god soe'er it be. 
 That thou ador'st and hast in reverence, — 
 To save my boy, to nourish and bring him 
 
 up; 
 Or else I will discover nought to thee.

 Rich. An oath is of no moment, being 
 not took 
 Before a true and lawful magistrate, 
 That hath authority over him that swears : 
 Henry had none, but did usurp the place ; 
 Then, seeing 't was he that made you to de-

 T. G.,11: 7. 59.

 Sal. It is great sin, to swear unto a sin ; 
 But greater sin, to keep a sinful oath. 
 Who can be bound by anj- solemn vow 
 To do a murderous deed, to rob a man. 
 To force a spotless virgin's chastity. 
 To reave the orphan of his patrimony. 
 To wring the widow from her custom'd

 And have no other reason for this wrong. 
 But that he was bound by a solemn oath?

 Ulyss. Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his

 Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, 
 
 A great-siz'd monster of ingratitude : 
 
 Those scraps are good deeds past, which are 
 
 devour'd 
 
 As fast as they are made, forgot as soon 
 
 As done.

 Glo. Chop ofFhis head, man ; — somewhat

 The earldom of Hereford, and all the mov-

 "If that you will France win. 
 Then with Scotland first begin :" 
 For once the eagle England being in prey.

 Comes sneaking, and so sucks her princely

 To spoil and havoc more than she can eat.

 OFFENCES.— In Ignorance. 
 
 Will. All offences, my liege, come from 
 the heart : never came any from mine, that 
 might offend your majesty. 
 
 K. Hen. It was ourself thou didst 
 abuse. 
 
 Will. Your majesty came not like your- 
 self: you appeared to me but as a common 
 man ; witness the night, your garments, 
 your lowliness ; and what your highness 
 suffered under that shape, I beseech you, 
 take it for your own fault, and not mine : 
 for had you been as I took you for, I made 
 no offence ; therefore, I beseech your high- 
 ness, pardon me. 
 
 K. Hen, Here, uncle Exeter, fill this 
 glove with crowns, 
 And give it to this fellow. — Keep it, fellow : 
 And wear it for an honour in thy cap.

 I see no more in you than in the ordinary 
 Of nature's sale-work.

 'T is not her glass, but you, that flatters 
 
 her; 
 And out of you she sees herself more 
 
 proper 
 Than any of her lineaments can show her. 
 But, mi«tress, know yourself; down on 
 
 your knees. 
 And thank Heaven, fasting, for a good man's 
 
 love : 
 For I must tell you friendly in your ear, 
 
 Sell A^'hen you can : you are not for all 
 
 markets : 
 Cry the man mercy ; love him ; take his offer.

 OMEN. — An Evil. 
 
 Cas. Messala, 
 
 This is my birth-day ; as this very day 
 Was Cassius born. Give me thy hand, 
 
 Messala : 
 Be thou my witness, that, against ray will, 
 As Pompey was, am I compelled to set 
 Upon one battle all our liberties. 
 You know, that I held Epicurus strong, 
 And his opinion : now I change my mind. 
 And partly credit things that do presage. 
 Coming from Sardis, on our former ensign 
 Two mighty eagles fell; and there they 
 
 perch'd, 
 Gorging and feeding from our soldiers' 
 
 hands ; 
 Who to Phillipi here consorted^us ; 
 This morning are they fled away, and gone : 
 And in their steads do ravens, crows, and 
 
 kites. 
 Fly o'er our heads, and downward look on 
 
 us. 
 As we were sickly prey ; their shadows seem 
 A canopy most fatal under which 
 Our army lies, ready to give up the ghost. 
 J. C, V : 1. 1349. 
 
 OMENS.— Fearful. 
 
 Cap. * * 
 The bay-trees in our country are all with-

 And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven ; 
 The pale-fac'd moon looks bloody on the

 And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful 
 
 change ; 
 Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and 
 
 leap.

 If he be put upon 't ; and that 's as easy, 
 As to set dogs on sheep,) will be his fire 
 To kindle their dry stubble ; and their blaze 
 Shall darken him for ever.

 Bru. * * 
 There is a tide in the affairs of men. 
 Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fort-

 Omitted, all the voyage of their life 
 Is bound in shallows, and in miseries, 
 On such a full sea are we now afloat : 
 And we must take the current when it 
 
 serves. 
 Or lose our ventures. 
 
 J. a, IV: 3. 1346. 
 
 — Plead as an Excuse. 
 
 K. John. * * 
 
 How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds. 
 
 Makes ill deeds done! Hadest not thou been 
 
 by, 
 
 A fellow by the hand of nature mark'd. 
 Quoted, and sign'd, to do a deed of shame. 
 This murder had not come into my mind : 
 But, taking note of thy abhorr'd aspect. 
 Finding thee fit for bloody villainy. 
 Apt, liable, to be employ'd in danger, 
 I faintly broke with thee of Arthur's death ; 
 And thou, to be endeared to a king. 
 Made it no conscience to destroy a prince. 
 
 Huh. My lord, 
 
 K. John. Hadst thou but shook thy head, 
 or made a pause. 
 
OPPORTUNITY. 
 
 417 
 
 ORIGIN. 
 
 When I spake darkly what I purposed ; 
 Or turn'd an eye of doubt upon my face, 
 As bid me tell my tale in express words ; 
 Deep shame had struck me dumb, made me 
 
 break off, 
 And those thy fears might have wrought 
 
 fears in me : 
 But thou didst understand me by my signs, 
 And didst in signs again parley with sin. 
 Yea, Avithout stop, didst let thy heart con- 
 sent, 
 And, consequently, thy rude hand to act 
 The deed, which both our tongues held vile 
 
 to name. — 
 Out of my sight, and never see me more !

 And hum at good Cominius, much unhearts 
 
 me. 
 He was not taken well ; he had not din'd : 
 The veins unfill'd, our blood is cold, and then 
 We pout upon the morning, are unapt 
 To give or to forgive ; but when we have 
 
 stuff'd 
 These pipes and these conveyances of our 
 
 blood 
 With wine and feeding, we have suppler souls 
 Than in our priest-like fasts ; therefore I '11 
 
 watch him 
 Till he be dieted to my request. 
 And then I '11 set upon him. 
 
 Bru. You know the very road into his 
 
 kindness. 
 And cannot lose your way.

 Dro. E. I am an ass, indeed ; you may 
 prove it by my long ears. I have served 
 him from the hour of my nativity to this in- 
 stant, and have nothing at his hands for 
 my service but blows : when I am cold, he 
 heats me with beating ; when I am warm, he 
 cools me with beating; I am wak'd with it, 
 when I sleep ; rais'd with it, when I sit ; 
 driven out of doors with it, Avhen I go from 
 home ; welcom'd home with it, when I re- 
 turn : nay, I bear it on my shoulders, as a 
 beggar wont her brat; and, I think, when 
 he hath lam'd me, I shall beg with it from 
 door to door.

 Who 'scapes the lurking serpent's mortal

 Not he, that sets his foot upon her back. 
 The smallest worm will turn, being trodden

 Orpheus with his lute made trees, 
 And the mountain-tops, that freeze, 
 
 Bow themselves, when he did sing: 
 To his music, plants, and flowers. 
 Ever sprung ; as sun, and showers, 
 
 There had heen a lasting spring. 
 Every thing that heard him play, 
 Even the billows of the sea. 
 
 Hung their heads, and then lay by. 
 In sweet music is such art; 
 Killing care, and grief of heart. 
 
 Fall asleep, or, hearing, die.

 Taffata phrases, silken terms precise,

 Figures pedantical ; these summer-flies 
 
 Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.

 I never long'd to hear a word till now ; 
 Say — pardon, king ; let pity teach thee how : 
 The word is short, but not so short as 
 
 sweet; 
 No word like, pardon, for kings' mouths so 
 meet. 
 York. Speak it in French, king; say 
 
 '■'■ pardonnez moy." 
 Puch. Dost thou teach pardon pardon to 
 destroy? 
 Ah, my sour husband, my hard-hearted lord. 
 That sett'st the word itself against the 
 
 word ! — 
 Speak, pardon, as 't is current in our land ; 
 The chopping French we do not understand. 
 Thine eye begins to speak, set thy tongue 
 
 there : 
 Or, in thy piteous heart plant thou thine 
 
 ear; 
 That, hearing how our plants and prayers 
 
 do pierce. 
 Pity may move thee, pardon to rehearse. 
 Baling. Good aunt, stand up. 
 Puch. I do not sue to stand, 
 
 Pardon is all the suit I have in hand. 
 
 Boling. I pardon him, as God shall par- 
 don me. 
 Puch. O happy vantage of a kneeling 
 knee ! 
 Yet I am sick for fear : speak it again ; 
 Twice saying pardon, doth not pardon 
 
 twain. 
 But makes one pardon strong. 
 
 Boling. With all my heart 
 
 I pardon him. 
 
 Puch. A god on earth thou art.

 Which they themselves not feel ; but, tast-

 Their counsel turns to passion, which before 
 Would give preceptial medicine to rage,

 Charm ach with air, and agony with words : 
 No, no ; 't is all men's office to speak pa- 
 tience 
 To those that wring under the load of sor- 
 row : 
 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.

 Pan. Ay, to the leavening ; but here 's

 the making of the cake, the heating of the 
 oven, and the baking ; nay, you must stay 
 the cooling too, or you may chance to burn

 To put him quite beside his patience. 
 
 You must needs learn, lord, to amend this 
 
 fault : 
 Though sometimes it shows greatness, cour- 
 age, blood, 
 (xVnd 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.

 I think, our country sinks beneath the yoke ; 
 
 It weeps, it bleeds ; and each new day a gash 
 Is added to her wounds. I think, withal, 
 There would be hands uplifted in my right ; 
 And here, from gracious England, have I of- 
 fer 
 Of goodly thousands : But, for all this. 
 When I shall tread upon the tyrant's head, 
 Or wear it on my sword, yet my poor coun-

 Shall have more vices than it had before : 
 More suifer, and more sundry ways than 
 
 ever, 
 By him that shall succeed.

 1 Serv. Let me have war, say I ; it ex- 
 ceeds peace, as far as day does night ; it 's 
 sprightly, waking, audible, and full of vent. 
 Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy ; mulled,

 By heaven, that thou art fair is most infallible; 
 true, that thou art beauteous : truth itself, that thou 
 art lovely. More fairer than fair, beautiful than 
 beauteous, truer than truth itself, have commisera- 
 tion on thy heroical vassal ! The mairuaniraous and 
 most illustrate king Cophetua set eye on the perni- 
 cious and indubitate beggar Peneloplion; and he it 
 was tliat might rightly say, veni, vidi, vici; which 
 to annotanize in the vulgar (O base and obscure vul- 
 gar!) videlicet, he came, saw, and overcame: ho 
 came, one ; saw, two ; overcame, three. Wlio came? 
 the king; Why did he come? to see; Why did he 
 see? to overcome: To whom came ho? to the beg- 
 gar; What saw he? the beggar: Who overcame 
 he? the beggar: The conclusion is victory: On 
 whoseside? the king's: the captive is enrich'd; On 
 whose side? the beggar's: The catastrophe is a 
 nuptial; On whose side? lh<? king's? — no, on both 
 in one, or one in both. Tam the king; for so stands 
 the comparison : thou the beggar; for so witness- 
 eth thy lowliness. Shall I command thy love? I 
 may: Shall I enforce thy love? 1 could: Shall I 
 entreat thy love? I will : What shaltthou exchange 
 for rasrs? robes; For tittles, titles'; For thyself? 
 me. Thus, expecting thy reply, I profane my lips 
 on thy foot, my eyes on thy picture, and iny heart 
 on thy every part.

 PERSISTENCE. 
 
 PERJURER. — Deliverance by a. 
 
 Sil. Had I been seized by a hungry lion, 
 I would have been a breakfast to the beast, 
 Rather than have false Proteus rescue me ! 
 O, heaven be judge how I love Valentine, 
 Whose life 's as tender to me as my soul ; 
 And full as much (for more there cannot 
 
 be) 
 I do detest false perjur'd Proteus : 
 Therefore be gone, solicit me no more. 
 
 T. G., V : 4. 71. 
 
 PERJURY. — Punished. 
 
 Biron. Thus pour the stars down plagues 
 for perjury. 
 
 i. X., V: 2. 298. 
 
 PERMISSION. — Equal to Command. 
 
 Duke. * * 
 Sith 't was my fault to give the people 
 
 scope, 
 'T would be my tyranny to strike and.gall 
 
 them 
 For what I bid them do : For we bid this be 
 
 done. 
 When evil deeds have their permissive pass. 
 And not the punishment. 
 
 3r. M., 1 : 3. 146. 
 
 PERPLEXITY. — Caused by Enemies. 
 
 K. Hen. Thus stands my state, 'twixt 
 Cade and York distress'd ; 
 Like to a ship, that, having scap'd a tem- 
 pest. 
 Is straightway calm'd and boarded with a 
 pirate. 
 
 H. F/.,2pt.,IV: 9. 940. 
 
 PERSEVERANCE. — Commended. 
 
 Queen. * * 
 Prefer you to his daughter : Frame your- 
 self 
 To orderly solicits ; and be friended 
 With aptness of the season : make denials 
 Increase your services : so seem, as if 
 You were inspird to do those duties which 
 You tender to her ; that you in all obey 
 
 her. 
 Save when command to your dismission 
 
 tends, 
 And therein you are senseless. 
 
 Cym., 11: 3. 1600.

 Ant. * * 
 Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose 
 That you resolv'd t' effect.

 PERSISTENCE.— A Woman's. 
 
 Lady. * *

 Said I for this, the girl was like him ? I '11 
 Have more, or else unsay 't. Now, while 'tis

 — Demands a Time. 
 Des. But shall 't be shortly ? 
 Otli. The sooner, sweet, for you. 
 
 Des. Shall 't be to-night at supper ? 
 Ofh. No, not to-night. 
 
 Des. To-morrow dinner then ? 
 Otlh. I shall not dine at home ; 
 
 I meet the captains at the citadel. 
 
 Des. Why then, to-morrow night; or 
 Tuesday morn ; 
 Or Tuesday noon, or night ; or Wednesday 
 
 morn. 
 * * When shall he come ? 
 Tell me, Othello. I wonder in my soul. 
 What you could ask me, that I should 
 
 deny, 
 Or stand so mammering on.

 — In one Idea. 
 
 Ham. " O Jephthah, judge of Israel," — 
 what a treasure hadst thou ! 
 
 Pol. What a treasure had he, my lord ? 
 Ham. Why — " One fair daughter, and no 
 more. 
 
 The which he loved passing well." 
 Fol. Still on my daughter.

 PHARISEEISM. 
 
 Ham. Am I not i' the right, old Jeph-

 Pol. If you call me Jephthah, my lord, 
 I have a daugliter, that I love passing well. 
 
 H., II : 2. 1407. 
 
 — In Seeking Audience. 
 
 Mai. Madam, yond young fellow swears 
 he will speak with you. I told him you were 
 sick ; he takes on him to understand so much, 
 and therefore comes to speak with you. I 
 told liiin you were asleep ; he seems to have 
 a foreknowledge of that too, and therefore 
 comes to speak with you. What is to be 
 said to him, lady? he 's fortified against any 
 denial. 
 
 OH. Tell him he shall not speak with me. 
 
 Mai. 'Has been told so ; and he says, 
 he '11 stand at your door like a sheriff's post, 
 or be the supporter to a bench, but he '11 
 speak with you.

 Ant. S. * *

 That in the ocean seeks another drop ; 
 Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, 
 Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself. 
 
 a E., 1 : 2. 194. 
 
 PERSUASION.— Power of. 
 
 Claud. * * Bid herself assay him ; 
 I have great hope in that : for in her youth 
 
 There is a prone and speechless dialect. 
 
 Such as moves men ; beside, she hath pros- 
 perous art 
 
 When she will play with reason and dis- 
 course, 
 
 And well she can persuade.

 Scar. * * Like the token'd pestilence, 
 Where death is sure.

 For 't is the sport, to have the engineer 
 Hoist with his own petar.

 PETITIONS.— For Justice. 
 
 Sat. Why, lords, what wrongs are these? 
 Was ever seen 
 
 An emperor of Rome thus overborne. 
 
 Troubled, confronted thus ; and, for the ex- 
 tent 
 
 Of regal justice, us'd in such contempt? 
 
 My lords, you know, as do the mightful 
 gods. 
 
 However these disturbers of our peace 
 
 Buzz in the people's ears, there nought hath 
 pass'd, 
 
 But even with law, against the wilful sons 
 
 Of old Andronicus. 
 
 * * 
 
 And now he writes to heaven for his re- 
 dress : 
 
 See, here 's to Jove, and this to Mercury ; 
 
 This to Apollo ; this to the god of war : 
 
 Sweet scrolls to fly about the streets of 
 Rome ! 
 
 What 's this, but libelling againstthe senate. 
 
 And blazoning our injustice everywhere? 
 
 A goodly humor, is it not, my lords? 
 
 As who would say, in Rome no justice 
 were. 
 
 Tit. And., lY: 4. 1223. 
 
 PHARISEEISM.— In Governments. 
 
 Claud. * * But this new governor 
 Awakes me all the enrolled penalties, 
 Which have, like unscour'd armour, hung 
 by the wall 
 
PHARISEEISM. 
 
 429 
 
 PITY. 
 
 So long, that nineteen zodiacs have gone 
 
 round, 
 And none of them been worn; and, for a 
 
 name, 
 Now puts the drowsy and neglected act 
 Freshly on me ; — 'tis surely, for a name.

 PHILOSOPHE R.— Tooth-ache Con-

 For there was never yet philosopher 
 That could endure the tooth-ach patiently.

 PHILOSOPHY.— Adversity's Milk. 
 
 Fri. Adversity's sweet milk, philoso- 
 phy. 
 
 R. J., Ill : 3. 1263. 
 
 — Natural, 
 
 Touch. * * Hast any philosophy in 
 thee, shepherd? 
 
 Cor. No more, but that I know, the more 
 one sickens, the worse at ease he is ; and 
 that he that wants money, means, and con- 
 tent, is without three good friends : That the 
 property of rain is to wet, and fire to burn : 
 That good pasture makes fat sheep, and that 
 a great cause of the night is lack of the sun : 
 That he that hath learned no wit by nature 
 nor art, may complain of good breeding, or 
 comes of a very dull kindred. 
 
 Touch. Such a one is a natural philoso- 
 pher.

 Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel.

 PICTURES. — Perfect. 
 
 2 Serv. Dost thou love pictures? we will 
 
 fetch thee straight 
 Adonis, painted by a running brook ; 
 And Cytherea all in sedges hid, 
 Which seem to move and wanton with her 
 
 breath 
 Even as the waving sedges play with wind. 
 Lord. We '11 show thee lo, as she was a 
 
 maid; 
 And how she was beguiled and surpris'd. 
 As lively painted as the deed was done. 
 
 3 Serv. . Or Daphne, roaming through a 
 
 thorny wood ; 
 Scratching her legs that one shall swear she 
 
 bleeds ; 
 And at that sight shall sad Apollo weep, 
 So workmanly the blood and tears are 
 
 drawn. 
 
 T. S. : Ind. ; 2. 453. 
 
 PIETY.— Blackens Evil. 
 
 Leon. * * How he glisters 
 Through my rust ! and how his piety 
 Does my deeds make the blacker ! 
 
 W. T., Ill : 2. 595. 
 
 PIRATES. — Famous. 
 
 Mess. * * 
 Menecrates and Menas, famous pirates. 
 Make the sea serve them ; which they ear 
 
 and wound 
 With keels of every kind. 
 
 A. C, 1 : 4. 1545. 
 
 PITILESSNESS.— An Adversary's. 
 Duke. I am sorry for thee : thou art 
 come to answer 
 A stony adversary, an inhuman wretch 
 Uncapable of pity, void and empty 
 From any dram of mercy.

 PITY. — A Hindrance to Crime.

 How sometimes nature will betray its folly, 
 Its tenderness, and make itself a pastime 
 To harder bosoms ! 
 
 W. T., 1 : 2. 582. 
 
 — Drives out Pity. 
 
 Bru. O Antony ! beg not your death of 
 
 us. 
 Though now we must appear bloody and 
 
 cruel, 
 As, by our hands, and this our present act. 
 You see we do ; yet see you but our hands, 
 And this the bleeding business they have 
 
 done : 
 Our hearts you see not, they are pitiful ; 
 And pity to the general wrong of Rome 
 (As fire drives out fire, so pity, pity,) 
 Hath done this deed on Cffisar. For your 
 
 part, 
 To you our swords have leaden points, Mark 
 
 Antony : 
 Our arms in strength of malice, and our 
 
 hearts, 
 Of brother's temper, do receive you in 
 "With all kind love, good thoughts, and rev- 
 erence.

 Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow.

 Mir. * * 0, I have suff"ered 
 
 With those that I saw suffer ! a brave vessel, 
 
 Who had no doubt some noble creature in 
 
 her, 
 Dash'd all to pieces. O, the crj'^ did knock 
 Against my very heart ! Poor souls ! they 
 
 perish'd. 
 Had I been any god of power, I would 
 Have sunk the sea within the earth, or ere 
 It should the good ship so have swallow'd, 
 
 and 
 The freighting souls within her.

 Mine arm about that body, where against 
 My grained ash an hundred times hath broke. 
 And scar'd the moon with splinters.

 Q. Eliz. Stay yet ; look back, with me,

 Pity, you ancient stones, those tender babes. 
 Whom envy hath immur'd within your walls ! 
 Rough cradle for such little pretty ones ! 
 Rude ragged nurse ! old sullen play-fellow 
 For tender princes, use my babies well ! 
 So foolish sorrow bids your stones farewell. 
 R. III., IV : 1. 1031. 
 
 — Shown in Justice. 
 
 Isah. Yet show some pity. 
 
 Ang. I show it most of all, when I show 
 
 justice ; 
 
 For then I pity those I do not know. 
 
 Which a dismiss'd offence would after gall ; 
 
 And do him right, that, answering one foul 
 
 wrong, 
 Lives not to act another.

 York. * *

 Biron. This fellow picks up wit, as pig-

 And utters it again when Jove doth please. 
 He is Avit's peddler, and retails his wares 
 At wakes, and wassails, meetings, markets, 
 fairs.

 Even so quickly, may one catch the plague.

 PLAUSIBILITY. — Its deceptive 
 Power. 
 
 Tarn. If Tamora entreat him, then he 
 will : 
 For I can smooth, and fill his aged ear 
 With golden promises ; that were his heart 
 Almost impregnable, his old ears deaf. 
 Yet should both ear and heart obey my 
 tongue. 
 
 Tit. And., IV: 4. 1225. 
 
 PLEASURE. — Its Minimum. 
 
 Bene. You take pleasure, then, in the 
 message? 
 
 Beat. Yea, just so much as you may 
 take upon a knife's point, and choke a daw

 PLODDING. — Tiresome. 
 
 Biron. * * 
 Why, universal plodding prisons up 
 The nimble spirits in the arteries ; 
 As motion, and long-during action, tires 
 The sinewy vigour of the traveller.

 POET. — His Powers. 
 
 The. * * 
 And, as imagination bodies forth 
 The forms of things unknown, the poet's 
 
 pen 
 Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy 
 
 nothing 
 A local habitation and a name. 
 
 M. Ji., V : 1. 341 
 
 POETRY. — Insincerity of. 
 
 Touch. No, truly ; for the truest poetry 
 is the most feigning ; and lovers are given 
 to poetry; and what they swear in poetry, 
 may be said, as lovers, they do feign. 
 
 A. F., ni: 3. 425. 
 
 — Love-sick. 
 
 Duke. Ay, much is the force of heaven- 
 bred poesy. 
 Pro. Say that upon the altar of her 
 beauty 
 
 You sacrifice your tears, your sighs, your 
 heart : 
 
 Write till your ink be dry ; and with your 
 tears 
 
 Moist it again ; and frame some feeling line, 
 
 That may discover such integrity : 
 
 For Orpheus' lute was strung with poets' 
 sinews. 
 
 Whose golden touch could soften steel and 
 stones, 
 
 Make tigers tame, and huge leviathans 
 
POETRY. 
 
 432 
 
 POISON. 
 
 Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on 
 sands. 
 
 After your dire lamenting elegies, 
 
 Visit by night your lady's chamber-win- 
 dow 
 
 With some sweet consort : to their instru- 
 ments 
 
 Tune a deploring dump; the night's dead 
 silence 
 
 Will well become such sweet complaining 
 grievance. 
 
 This, or else nothing, will inherit her.

 Poet. A thing slipp'd idly from me. 
 
 Our poesy is as a gum, which oozes 
 Prom Avhence 't is noui'ish'd : The fire i'

 Shows not, till it be struck; our gentle 
 
 flame 
 Provokes itself, and, like the current, flies 
 Each bound it chases.

 — That Sets the Teeth on Edge. 
 Hot. Marry, and I 'm glad of it with all 
 my heart ; 
 I had rather be a kitten, and cry — mew. 
 Than one of these same metre ballad-mon- 
 gers : 
 I had rather hear a brazen canstick turn'd, 
 Or a dry wheel grate on an axletree ; 
 And that would set my teeth nothing on 
 
 edge. 
 Nothing so much as mincing poetry ; 
 'T is like the forc'd gait of a shuffling 
 nag.

 POISON. — Instant and Fatal. 
 
 Rom. Come hither, man. — I see that 
 thou art poor ; 
 Hold, there is forty ducats : let me have 
 
 A dram of poison; such soon-speeding geer 
 As will disperse itself through all the 
 
 veins. 
 That the life-weary taker may fall dead ; 
 And that the trunk may be discharg'd of 
 
 breath 
 As violently, as hasty powder fir'd 
 Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb.

 — Obtained by Pretences. 
 
 Queen. Despatch. 
 
 Now, master doctor; have you brought 
 
 those drugs? 
 Cor. Pleaseth your highness, ay : here 
 
 they are, madam ; 
 But I beseech your grace, (without offence ; 
 My conscience bids me ask;) wherefore 
 
 you have 
 Commanded of me these most poisonous 
 
 compounds. 
 Which are the movers of a languishing 
 
 death ; 
 But, though slow, deadly? 
 
 Queen. I do wonder, doctor, 
 
 Thou ask'st me such a question : Have I 
 
 not been 
 Thy pupil long? Hast thou not learn'd me 
 
 how 
 To make perfumes? distil? preserve? yea, 
 
 so. 
 That our great king himself doth woo me 
 
 oft 
 For my confections ? Having thus far pro- 
 ceeded, 
 (Unless thou think'st me devilish,) is 't not 
 
 meet 
 That I did amplify my judgment in 
 Other conclusions? I will try the forces 
 Of these thy compounds on such creatures 
 
 as 
 We count not worth the hanging, (but none 
 
 human,) 
 To try the vigour of them, and apply 
 AUayments to their act, and by them gather 
 Their several virtues, and effects. 
 Cor. Your highness 
 
 Shall from this practice but make hard 
 
 your heart : 
 Besides, the seeing these effects will be 
 Both noisome and infectious.

 Ghost. * * 
 The leperous distilment ; whose effect 
 Holds such an enmity with blood of man. 
 That, swift as quicksilver, it courses 
 
 through 
 The natural gates and alleys of the body ; 
 And, with a sudden vigour, it doth posset 
 And curd, like eager droppings into milk, 
 The thin and wholesome blood : so did it 
 
 mine; 
 And- a most instant tetter bark'd about, 
 Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome 
 
 crust, 
 
 All my smooth body.

 POISONER.— A would-be. 
 
 Cor. I do not like her. She doth think, 
 
 she has 
 Strange lingering poisons : I do know her 
 
 spirit. 
 And will not trust one of her malice with 
 A drug of such damn'd nature: Those she 
 
 has, 
 Will stupify and dull the sense awhile : 
 Which first, perchance, she 'II prove on cats, 
 
 and dogs ; 
 Then afterward up higher ; but there is 
 No danger in what show of death it makes, 
 More than the locking up the spirits a time. 
 To be more fresh, reviving. She is fool'd 
 With a most false effect.

 't is doubt, 
 
 When time shall call him home from ban-

 Whether our kinsman come to see his

 Ourself, and Bushy, Bagot here, and 
 Green, 
 
 Observ'd his courtship to the common peo- 
 ple : — 
 
 How he did seem to dive into their hearts. 
 
 With humble and familiar courtesy ; 
 
 What reverence he did throw away on 
 slaves ; 
 
 Wooing poor craftsmen, with the craft of 
 smiles, 
 
 And patient underbearing of his fortune, 
 
 As 't were, to banish their affects with 
 him.

 put on their cloaks ; 
 When great leaves fall, then winter is at 
 
 hand ; 
 When the sun sets, who doth not look for 
 
 night? 
 Untimely storms make men expect a dearth : 
 All may be well ; but, if God sort it so, 
 'T is more than we deserve, or I expect. 
 
 2 at. Truly, the hearts of men are full 
 
 of fear : 
 You cannot reason almost with a man 
 That looks not heavily, and full of dread. 
 
 3 Git. Before the days of change, still is 
 
 it so : 
 By a divine instinct, men's minds mistrust 
 Ensuing danger; as, by proof, we see 
 The water swell before a boist'rous storm. 
 But leave it all to God.

 And, thus unbraced, Casca, as you see, 
 Have bar'd my bosom to the thunder-stone : 
 And, when the cross blue lightning seem'd 
 
 to open 
 The breast of heaven, I did present myself 
 Even in the aim and very flash of it. 
 
 Gasca. But wherefore did you so much 
 tempt the heavens? 
 It is the part of men to fear and tremble. 
 When the most mighty gods, by tokens, send 
 Such dreadful heralds to astonish us.

 Shak'd like a coward. 
 
 Hot. Why, so it would have done 
 
 At the same season, if your mother's cat

 In ranks, and squadrons, and right form of

 These signs forerun the death or fall of

 See, see ! they join, embrace, and seem to

 Now are they but one lamp, one light, one

 In this the heaven figures some event.

 I think, it cites us, brother, to the field; 
 That we, the sons of brave Plantagenet, 
 Each one already blazing by our meeds. 
 Should, notwithstanding, join our lights to-

 Have riv'd the knotty oaks ; and I have seen 
 The ambitious ocean swell, and rage, and 
 
 foam.

 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 Avith the gods. 
 Incenses them to send destruction.

 Casca. A common slave (you know him 
 well by siglit,) 
 Held up his left hand, which did flame, and 
 
 burn 
 Like twenty torches join'd ; and yet his hand. 
 Not sensible of fire, remain'd unscorch'd. 
 Besides, (I have not since put uj) my sword,) 
 Against the Capitol I met a lion. 
 Who glar'd upon me, and went surly by, 
 Without annoying me : And there were drawn 
 Upon a heap a hundred ghastly women. 
 Transformed with their fear; who swore,

 Men, all in fire, walk iip and down the

 Though all that I can do, is nothing worth ;

 Imploring pardon.

 Anchors on Isabel. Heaven in my mouth, 
 
 As if I did but only chew his name ; 
 
 And in my heart, the strong and swelling 
 
 evil 
 Of my conception.

 fall 
 The usurping helmets of our adversaries ! 
 Make us thy ministers of chastisement. 
 That we may praise thee in thy victory ! 
 To thee I do commend my watchful soul. 
 Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes ; 
 Sleeping, and waking, 0, defend me still !

 PRAYERS. — Intercessory. 
 
 Isab. Not with fond shekels of the tested 
 gold. 
 Or stones, whose rates are either rich or 
 
 poor 
 As fancy values them ; but with true prayers 
 That shall be up at heaven, and enter 
 
 there, 
 Ere sunrise : prayers from preserved souls. 
 From fasting maids, whose minds are dedi-

 To nothing temporal.

 A little ere the mightiest Julius fell. 
 The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted 
 
 dead 
 Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.

 As, stars with trains of fire and dews of 
 
 blood. 
 Disasters in the sun ; and the moist star. 
 Upon whose influence Neptune's empire 
 
 stands, 
 Was sick almost to dooms-day with eclipse. 
 And even the like precurse of fierce events, 
 As harbingers preceding still the fates. 
 And prologue to the omen coming on, — 
 Have heaven and earth together demonstra-

 Unto our climatures and countrymen.

 And why such daily cast of brazen can- 
 non, 
 And foreign mart for implements of war ; 
 Why such impress of shipwrights, whose 
 
 sore task 
 Does not divide the Sunday from the

 What might be toward, that this sweaty

 Doth make the night joint-labourer with the

 ninth Worthy. A conqueror, and afeared 
 to speak ! run away for shame, Alisander. 
 There, an 't shall please you; a foolish 
 mild man ; an honest man, look you, and 
 soon daslied ! He is a marvellous

 but I regarded him not : and yet he talked 
 wisely, and in the street too. 
 
 P. Hen. Thou did'st well ; for wisdom 
 cries out in the streets, and no man regards 
 it. 
 
 Fal. O thou hast damnable iteration; 
 and art, indeed, able to corrupt a saint. 
 Thou hast done much harm upon me, Hal, — 
 God forgive thee for it ! Before I knew

 Vol. I pray you, daughter, sing; or ex- 
 press yourself in a more comfortable sort: 
 If my son were my husband, I should 
 freelier rejoice in that absence wherein he 
 won honour, than in the embracements of 
 his bed, where he would show most love. 
 Wlien yet he was but tender-bodied, and 
 the only son of my womb ; when youth 
 with comeliness plucked all gaze his way ; 
 when, for a day of king's entreaties, a 
 mother should not sell him an hour from 
 her beholding ; I, — -considering how honour 
 would become such a person ; that it was 
 no better than picture-like to hang by the 
 wall, if renown made it not stir, — M'as 
 pleased to let him seek danger where he 
 was like to find fame. To a cruel war I 
 sent him ; from whence he returned, his 
 brows bound with oak. I tell tliee, daugh- 
 ter, — I sprang not more in joy at first hear- 
 ing he was a man-child, than now in first 
 seeing he had proved himself a man. 
 
 Vir. But had he died in the business, 
 madam? how then?

 That can therein tax any private party? 
 Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea, 
 Till that the wearer's very means do ebb? 
 What woman in the city do I name. 
 When that I say, The city-woman bears 
 The costof princes on unworthy shoulders? 
 Who can come in, and say that I mean her, 
 When such a one as she, such is her neigh- 
 bour? 
 
 A. T.,U: 7. 418.

 Aber. I cannot tell 
 
 What heaven hath given him, let some graver

 Pierce into that; but I can see his pride 
 Peep through each part of him : Whence has

 If not from hell, the devil is a niggard ; 
 Or has given all before, and he begins 
 A new hell in himself.

 Ajax. AVhy should a man be proud ? How 
 doth pride grow ? I know not what pride is. 
 
 Agam. Your mind 's the clearer, Ajax, and 
 your virtues the fairer. He that is proud, 
 eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his 
 own trumpet, his own chronicle ; and what- 
 ever praises itself but in the deed, devours 
 the deed in the praise.

 As feel in his own fall : for men, like butter- 
 flies. 
 
 Show not their mealy wings, but to the sum- 
 mer ; 
 
 And not a man, for being simply man. 
 
 Hath any honour; but honour for those 
 honours 
 
 That are without him, as place, riches, fa- 
 vour, 
 
 Pi'izes of accident as oft as merit : 
 
 Which when they fall, as being slippery

 shipp'd 
 Of that we hold an idol more than he ? 
 No, this thrice worthy and right valiant lord 
 Must not so stale his palm, nobly acquir'd; 
 Nor, by my will, assubjugate his merit, 
 As amply titled as Achilles is. 
 By going to Achilles : 
 That were to enlard his fat-already pride ; 
 And add more coals to Cancer, when he

 With entertaining great Hj'perion. 
 This lord go to him ! Jupiter forbid ; 
 And say in thunder — " Achilles, goto him."

 Then broke I from the officers that led

 And Avith my nails digg'd stones out of the

 To hurl at the beholders of my shame.

 None durst come near for fear of sudden

 So great fear of my name 'mongst them 
 
 Avas spread.

 Wherefore a guard of chosen shot I had,

 Did famine follow ; whom thou fought'st

 Though daintily brought up, with patience 
 
 more 
 Than savages couldsuffer : Thou didst drink 
 The stale of horses, and the gilded puddle 
 Which beasts would cough at : thy palate 
 
 then did deign 
 The roughest berry on the rudest hedge ; 
 Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture 
 
 sheets, 
 The barks of trees thou browsed'st ; on the 
 
 Alps, 
 It is reported, thou didst eat strange flesh, 
 AVhich some did die to look on : And all this 
 (It Avounds thine honour, that I speak it

 Fool. * * 
 I '11 speak a prophecy ere I go : 
 When priests are more in word than matter ; 
 When brewers mar their malt with water ; 
 AVhen nobles are their tailors' tutors ; 
 No heretics burn'd, but wenches' suitors ; 
 When every case in law is right ; 
 No squire in debt, nor no poor knight ; 
 When slanders do not live in tongues ; 
 Nor cutpurses come not to throngs ; 
 When usurers tell their gold i' the field ; 
 And bawds and whores do churches build ; 
 Then shall the realm of Albion 
 Come to great confusion. 
 Then comes the time, who lives to see 't. 
 That going shall be us'd with feet.

 But, heaven be thank'd, it is but voluntary.

 Upon this land a thousand thousand bless-

 And all that shall succeed : Sheba vras never 
 More covetous of wisdom, and fair virtue, 
 Than this pure soul shall be : all princely 
 
 graces, 
 That mould up such a mighty piece as this is. 
 With all the virtues that attend the good, 
 Shall still be doubled on her : truth shall 
 
 nurse her, 
 Holy and heavenly thoughts still counsel 
 
 her : 
 She shall be lov'd, and fear'd : Her own 
 
 shall bless her : 
 Her foes shake like a field of beaten corn, 
 And hang their heads with sorrow : Good 
 
 grows with her : 
 In her days, every man shall eat in safety 
 Under his own vine, what he plants ; and 
 
 sing 
 The merry songs of peace to all his neigh- 
 bours : 
 God shall be truly known; and those about 
 
 her 
 From her shall read the perfect ways of hon- 
 our, 
 And by those claim their greatness, not by 
 
 blood. 
 Nor shall this peace sleep with her : But as 
 
 when 
 The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phcBuix, 
 Her ashes new create another heir. 
 As great in admiration as herself; 
 So shall she leave her blessedness to one, 
 (When heaven shall call her from this cloud 
 
 of darkness,) 
 Who, from the sacred ashes of her honour, 
 Shall star-like rise, as great in fame as she 
 
 was. 
 And so stand fix'd : Peace , plenty, love, 
 
 truth, terror. 
 That were the servants to this chosen infant. 
 Shall then be his, and like a vine grow to him ; 
 Wherever the bright sun of heaven shall 
 
 shine, 
 His honour and the greatness of his name 
 Shall be, and make new nations : He sliall 
 
 flourish. 
 And, like a mountain cedar, reach his 
 
 branches 
 To all the plains about him: — Our chil- 
 dren's children 
 Shall see this, and bless heaven.

 Witli many hundreds treading on his heels ; 
 To whom he sung, in rude harsh-sounding 
 
 rhymes. 
 That, ere the next Ascension-day at noon. 
 Your highness should deliver up your crown. 
 K. John. Thou idle dreamer, wherefore 
 
 didst thou so? 
 Peter. Foreknowing that the truth will fall 
 
 out so. 
 K. John. Hubert, away with him ; im-

 And on that day, at noon, whereon, he says, 
 I shall yield up my crown, let him be hang'd : 
 Deliver him to safety, and return. 
 For I must use thee.

 His looks are full of peaceful majesty ; 
 His head by nature fram'd to wear a crown,

 To pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt : 
 What to ourselves in passion we propose. 
 The passion ending, doth the purpose lose. 
 The violence of either grief or joy 
 Their own enactures with themselves de-

 QUARRELSOME.— (See Advice.) 
 The seventh Cause. 
 
 Touch. Upon a lie seven times removed; — 
 Bear your body more seeming, Audrey : — 
 as thus, sir. I did dislike the cut of a cer- 
 tain courtier's beard ; he sent me word, if I 
 said his beard was not cut well, he was in the 
 mind it was. This is call'dthe " Retort court- 
 eous." If I sent him word again, it Avas not 
 well cut, he would send me word, he cut it 
 to please himself. This is call'd the " Quip 
 modest. " If again, it was not well cut, he 
 disabled my judgment. This is call'd the 
 ' ' Reply churlish. " If again, it was not well 
 cut, he Avould answer, I spake not true. This 
 is call'dthe " Reproof valiant." If again, it 
 was not well cut, he would say, I lie. This 
 is call'd the " Countercheck quarrelsome :" 
 and so to "Lie circumstantial," and the "Lie 
 direct." 
 
 Jaq. And how oft did you say, his beard 
 was not well cut? 
 
 Touch. I durst go no further than the 
 "Lie circumstantial," nor he durst not give 
 me the "Lie direct: " and so we measur'd 
 swords, and parted. 
 
 Jaq. Can you nominate in order now the 
 degrees of the lie? 
 
 Touch. O sir, we quarrel in print, by the 
 book, as you have Books for Good Manners. 
 I will name you the degrees. The first, the 
 Retort courteous ; the second, the Quip mod- 
 est; the third, the Reply churlish; the fourth, 
 the Reproof valiant ; the fifth, the Counter- 
 check quarrelsome ; the sixth, the Lie with 
 circumstance ;the seventh, the Lie direct. All 
 these you may avoid, but the lie direct ; and 
 you may avoid that too, with an If.

 That carries anger as the flint bears fire ; 
 Who, much enforced, shows a hasty spark. 
 And straight is cold again. 
 
 Cas. Hath Cassius liv'd 
 
 To be but mirth and laughter to his Brutus, 
 When grief, and blood ill-temper 'd, vexeth

 Bier. Nay, an there were two such, we

 a man that hath a hair more, or a hair less, in 
 his beard, than thou hast : thou wilt quarrel 
 with a man for cracking nuts, having no other 
 reason, but because tliou hast hazel eyes. 
 What eye, but such an eye, would spy out 
 such a quarrel? Thy iiead is as full of quar- 
 rels, as an egg is full of meat ; and yet thy 
 head hath been beaten as addle as an egg, for 
 quarrelling. Thou hastquarrelled with aman 
 for coughing in the street, because he hath 
 wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the 
 sun ; didst thou not fall out with a tailor for 
 wearing his new doublet before Easter? with 
 another, for tying his new shoes with old rib- 
 bons? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quar- 
 elling! 
 
 Ben. An I were so apt to quarrel as thou

 Grew by our feeding to so great a bulk. 
 That even our love durst not come near

 For fear of swallowing; but with nimble 
 
 wing 
 "We were enforc'd, for safety sake, to fly 
 Out of your sight, and raise this present

 Whereby we stand opposed by such means 
 As you yourselfhaveforg'd against yourself;

 Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, 
 And, at her heels, a huge infectious troop 
 Of pale distemperatures, and foes to life?

 REDEMPTION.— Eternal Hoped for. 
 
 K. Edw. "Why, so : — now have I done a 
 
 good day's work : — 
 You, peers, continue this united league : 
 I every day expect an embassage 
 From my Redeemer to redeem me hence ; 
 And more in peace my soul shall part to 
 
 heaven, 
 Since I have made my friends at peace on 
 
 earth. 
 
 B. III., 11 : 1. 1014 
 
 REDRESS.— Not Sought of the Devil. 
 
 Duke, liclate your wrongs : In what? By 
 whom? Be brief; 
 Here is Lord Angelo shall give you justice ! 
 Reveal yourself to him. 
 
 Tsah. O, worthy duke, 
 You bid me seek redemption of the devil : 
 Hear me yourself; for that which I must 
 
 speak 
 Must either punish me, not being believ'd. 
 Or wring redress from you : hear me, O, hear 
 me here. 
 
 M.M.,V: 1. ITO. 
 
 REDUNDANCY —Ridiculous. 
 
 SaL To guard a title that was rich before, 
 To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, 
 To throw a perfume on the violet, 
 To smooth the ice, or add another hue 
 Upon the rainbow, or with taper-light 
 To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to gar- 
 nish. 
 In wasteful and ridiculous excess. 
 
 A'. J., IV : 2. 665. 
 
 REFINEMENT. — Simulated. 
 
 3Ial. * *

 Than that which hath no foil to set it off. 
 
 m /r., ipt., I: 2. 730. 
 
 — Promised by Villainy. 
 
 Fal. I '11 follow, as they say, for reward. 
 He that rewards me, heaven reward him ! 
 If I do grow great, I '11 grow less ; for I '11 
 purge and leave sack, and live cleanly, as a 
 nobleman should do. 
 
 ff. IV., 1 pt., V : 4. 762. 
 
 — Sudden and Complete. 
 
 Cant. The courses of his youth promis'd 
 it not. 
 The breath no sooner left his father's body. 
 But that his wildness, mortified in him, 
 Seem'd to die too : yea, at that very mo- 
 ment, 
 Consideration like an angel came, 
 And whipped the offending Adam out of him : 
 Leaving his body as a paradise. 
 To envelop and contain celestial spirits. 
 Never was such a sudden scholar made : 
 Never came reformation in a flood. 
 With such a heady current, scouring faults ; 
 Nor never Hydra-headed wilfulness 
 So soon did lose his seat, and all at once, 
 As in this king.

 Cain. * * If I could find example 
 
 Of thousands that had struck anointed kings

 Let villany itself forswear 't.

 REGRET. — For Injuries. 
 
 Leon. 0, my brother, 
 
 (Good gentleman !) the -wrongs I have done

 Afresh Avithin me ; and these thy offices, 
 So rarely kind, are as interpreters 
 Of my behind-hand slackness. 
 
 W. T., V : 1. 613.

 Eno. * * Canidius, and the rest

 No honourable trust. I have done ill ;

 That I will joy no more. 
 
 A. C, IV: 6. 1570. 
 
 — Sours present Pleasure. 
 
 Ant. * * 
 There 's a great spirit gone ! Thus did I 
 
 desire it : 
 What our contempts do often hurl from us, 
 We wisli it ours again ; the present pleasure, 
 By repetition souring, does become 
 The opposite of itself: she 's good, being 
 
 gone ; 
 The hand could pluck her back, that shov'd 
 
 her on. 
 I must from this enchanting queen break 
 
 off; 
 Ten thousand harms, more than the ills I 
 
 know, 
 
 Mv idleness doth hatch. 
 
 A. C, 1 : 2. 1542.

 When she will take the rein, I let her run ; 
 But she '11 not stumble.

 Isab. Adoptedly; as school-maids change 
 their names, 
 By vain, though apt, affection. 
 
 M.3f.,I: 4. 147. 
 
 RELENTING.— A Sign of Cowardice. 
 
 Clar. Eelent, and save your souls. 
 
 1 Murd. Relent ! 't is cowardly, and 
 
 womanish. 
 Clar. Not to relent, is beastly, savage, 
 
 devilish. — 
 Which of you, if you were a prince's son. 
 Being pent from liberty, as I am now, — 
 If two such murderers as yourselves came 
 
 to you, — 
 Would not entreat for life? — 
 My friend, I spy some pity in thy looks ; 
 0, if thine eye be not a flatterer, 
 Come thou on my side, and entreat for me, 
 As you would beg, were you in my distress. 
 A begging prince what beggar pities not? 
 
 2 Murd. Look behind you, my lord.

 will not do, 
 I '11 drown you in the malmsey-butt within. 
 R.III.,1: 4. 1013. 
 
 RELENTLESSNESS.— Deaf to Rea- 
 son. 
 Shy. I '11 have my bond ; I will not hear 
 thee speak : 
 
 I '11 have my bond ; and, therefore, speak no 
 more. 
 
 I '11 not be made a soft and duU-ey'd fool. 
 
 To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and 
 yield 
 
 To Christian intercessors. Follow not; 
 
 I '11 have no speaking ; I will have my bond.

 Bass. Do all men kill the things they do 
 not love? 
 
 Shy. Hates any man the thing he would 
 not kill? 
 
 Bass. Every offence is not a hate at first. 
 
 Shy. What, wouldst thou have a serpent 
 sting thee twice?

 REMORSE. 
 
 You may as well use question with the

 You may as well forbid the mountain pines 
 To wag their high tops, and to make no 
 
 noise, 
 When they are fretten with the gusts of

 You may as well do anything most hard, 
 As seek to soften that (than which what's

 None about CaBsar.

 REMEDIES.— Have those We Seek. 
 
 Ilel. Our remedies oft in ourselves do 
 
 lie, 
 Which we ascribe to heaven : the fated sky 
 Gives us free scope; only, doth backward 
 
 pull 
 Our slow designs, when we ourselves are 
 
 dull. 
 What power is it which mounts my love so 
 
 high. 
 That makes me see, and cannot feed mine 
 
 eye? 
 The mightiest space in fortune nature 
 
 brings 
 To join like likes, and kiss like native 
 
 things. 
 Impossible be strange attempts to those 
 That weigh their pains in sense ; and do sup- 
 pose 
 What hath been cannot be. 
 
 A. W., 1 : 1. 497. 
 
 REMEDY.— Should Follow Knowl-

 Agavn. The nature of the sickness found, 
 Ulysses, 
 What is the remedy?

 D. Pedro. What need the bridge much 
 broader than the flood ? 
 The fairest grant is the necessity : 
 Look, what will serve is fit : 'tis once, thou 
 
 lovest ; 
 And I will fit thee with the remedy. 
 
 M. A., 1 : 1. 228. 
 
 REMONSTRANCE— With Mur- 
 derers. 
 Clar. Are you call'd forth from out a 
 world of men, 
 
 To slay the innocent? What is my offence ! 
 
 Where is the evidence that doth accuse me? 
 
 What lawful quest have given their verdict 
 up 
 
 Unto the frowning judge? or who pro- 
 nounc'd 
 
 The bitter sentence of poor Clarence' death? 
 
 Before I be convict by course of law. 
 
 To threaten me with death is most unlawful. 
 
 I charge you, as you hope for any goodness. 
 
 By Christ's dear blood, shed for our griev- 
 ous sins, 
 
 That you depart, and lay no hands on me ; 
 
 The deed you undertake is damnable. 
 
 1 Murd. What we will do, we do upon 
 
 command. 
 
 2 3Iurd. And he, that hath commanded, 
 
 is our king. 
 Clar. Erroneous vassal ! the great King 
 
 of kings 
 Hath in the table of his law commanded, 
 That thou shalt do no murder : Wilt thou 
 
 then 
 Spurn at his edict, and fulfil a man's? 
 Take heed ; for he holds vengeance in his 
 
 hand, 
 To hurl upon their heads that break his law. 
 B. III., 1 : 4. 1012. 
 
 REMORSE. — A Murderer's. 
 
 Exion. As full of valour, as of royal 
 blood : 
 Both have I spilt; O, would the deed were 
 
 For now the devil, that told me — I did well, 
 
 Says, that this deed is chronicled in hell. 
 
 This dead king to the living king I '11 bear ; 
 
 Take hence the rest, and give them burial

 Lady M. I heard the owl scream, and the 
 crickets cry. 
 Did not you speak? 
 
 Mad. When? 
 
 Lady M. Now.

 Lady M. Ay. 
 
 Mach. Hark! — 
 
 Who lies i' the second chamber? 
 Lady M. Donalbain. 
 
 Mach. This is a sorry sight. 
 
 Lady M. A foolish thought, to say a sorry 
 
 sight. 
 Mach. There 's one did laugh in his sleep, 
 and one cried, "murder! " 
 That they did wake each other ; I stood and 
 
 heard them : 
 But they did say their prayers, and address'd 
 
 them 
 Again to sleep. 
 
 Lady M. There are two lodg'd together. 
 Mach, One cried, " God bless us ! " and, 
 " Amen, " the other; 
 As they had seen me, with these hangman's 
 
 hands. 
 Listening their fear, I could not say, amen. 
 When they did say, God bless us. 
 Lady M. Consider it not so deeply. 
 Mach. But wherefore could not I pro- 
 nounce, amen? 
 I had most need of blessing, and amen 
 Stuck In my throat.

 Man but a rush against Othello's breast. 
 
 And he retires : — Where should Othello go? 
 
 Now, how dost thou look now? O ill-starr'd 
 wench ! 
 
 Pale as thy smock ! when we shall meet at 
 compt. 
 
 This look of thine will hurl my soul from

 And fiends will snatch at it. Cold, cold, my

 Even like thy chastity. — 
 
 O cursed, cursed slave? — Whip me, ye devils, 
 
 From the possession of this heavenly sight ! 
 
 Blow me about in winds ! roast me in sul- 
 phur ! 
 
 Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid fire ! — 
 
 ODesdemona! Desdemona! dead?

 ation. — What 's the price of tliis inkle? a

 why, it carries it. — Remuneration! — why, 
 it is a fairer name than a French crown. I

 Leon. I cannot bid you bid my daughter

 That were impossible : but I pray you 
 
 both. 
 Possess the people in Messina here 
 How innocent she died : and, if your love 
 Can labour aught in sad invention. 
 Hang her an epitaph upon her tomb, 
 And sing it to her bones ; sing it to-night : — 
 To-morrow morning come you to my house ; 
 And since you could not be my son-in- 
 law, 
 Be yet my nephew : my brother hath a 
 
 daughter. 
 Almost the copy of my child that 's dead, 
 And she alone is heir to both of us ; 
 Give her the right you should have given her 
 
 cousin, 
 And so dies my revenge.

 REPENTANCE. — A. 
 
 Fal. I would all the world might be coz- 
 ened : for I have been cozened and beaten 
 too. If it should come to the ear of the 
 court, how I have been transformed, and 
 how my transformation hath been wash'd 
 and cudgeird, they would melt me out of 
 my fat, drop by drop, and liquor fishermen's 
 boots with me. I warrant, they would whip 
 me with their fine wits, till I were as crest- 
 fiiU'n as a dried pear. I never prosper'd

 And, like a man to double business bound, 
 I stand in pause where I shall first begin. 
 And both neglect. What if this cursed hand,

 Instead whereof, let this supply the room ; 
 Measure for measure must be answered.

 That nothing sung but death to us and ours : 
 Now death shall stop his dismal threatening 
 
 sound, 
 And his ill-boding tongue no more shall 
 
 speak. 
 Rich. What, not an oath? nay, then the 
 
 world goes hard. 
 When Clifford cannot spare his friends an 
 
 oath ; — 
 I know by that, he 's dead ; And, by my 
 
 soul, 
 If this right hand would buy two hours'

 That I in all despite might rail at him. 
 This hand should chop it off; and with the

 Stifle the villain, whose unstaunched thirst 
 York and young Rutland could not satisfy.

 RESPECTABILITY.— Desired by the

 Bast. * * 
 Then, good my mother, let me know my 
 
 father ; 
 Some proper man, I hope ; Who was it 
 
 mother ? 
 
 Lady F. King Richard Coeur-de-lion was 
 thy father ; 
 By long and vehement suit I was seduc'd 
 To make room for him in my husband's 
 
 bed:— 
 Heaven lay not my transgression to my 
 
 charge ! — 
 Thou art the issue of my dear offence, 
 Which was so strongly urg'd, past my de- 
 fence. 
 
 K. J.,1: 1. 649. 
 
 RESPONSIBILITY. — Cannot be 
 
 Shifted. 
 
 K. Hen. So, if a son, that is by his father 
 sent about merchandise, do sinfully mis- 
 carry upon the sea, the imputation of his 
 wickedness, by your rule, should be impos- 
 ed upon his fiither that sent him : or if a 
 servant, under his master's command, trans- 
 porting a sum of money, be assailed by 
 robbers, and die in many irreconciled iniq- 
 uities, you may call the business of the 
 master, the author of the servant's damna- 
 tion : — But this is not so: the king is not 
 bound to answer the particular endings of 
 his soldiers, the father of his son, nor the 
 master of his servant ; for they purpose not 
 their death, when they purpose- their ser- 
 vices. Besides, there is no king, be his 
 cause never so spotless, if it come to the ar- 
 bitrement of swords, can try it out with all 
 unspotted soldiers. Some, peradventure, 
 have on them the guilt of jiremeditated and 
 contrived murder ; some, of beguiling vir- 
 gins with the broken seals of perjury ; some, 
 making tlie wars their bulwark, tliat have 
 before gored the gentle bosom of peace with 
 pillage and robbery. Now, if these men 
 have defeated the law, and outrun native 
 punishment, though they can outstrip men, 
 they have no wings to fly from God : war 
 is his beadle, war is his vengeance ; so that 
 here men are punished, for before-breach of 
 the king's laws, in now the king's quarrel : 
 where they feared the death, they have borne 
 life away ; and where they would be safe, 
 the}' perish : Then if they die unprovided, 
 no more is the king guilty of their damna- 
 tion than he was before guilty of those im- 
 ])ieties for the which they are now visited. 
 Every suliject's duty is the king's ; but ev- 
 ery subject's soul is his own. Therefore 
 
 should every soldier in the wars do as ev- 
 ery sick man in his bed, wash every mote 
 out of his conscience : and dying so, death 
 is to him advantage ; or not dying, the time 
 was blessedly lost, Avherein such prepara- 
 tion was gained : and, in him that escapes, 
 it were not sin, to think, that making God so 
 free an offer, he let him outlive that day to 
 see his greatness, and to teach others how 
 they should prepare.

 This goodly summer with your winter mix'd. 
 You kill'd her husband ; and, for that vile 
 
 fault. 
 Two of her brothers were condemn'd to 
 
 death : 
 My hand cut off, and made a merry jest; 
 Both her sweet hands, her tongue, and that, 
 
 more dear 
 Than hands or tongue, her spotless chastity. 
 Inhuman traitors, you constrain'dand forc'd. 
 What would you say, if I should let you 
 
 speak? 
 Villains, for shame you could not beg for 
 
 grace. 
 Hark, wretches, how I mean to martyr you. 
 This one hand yet is left to cut your throats, 
 Whilst that Lavinia 'tween her stumps doth 
 
 hold 
 The bason, that receives your guilty blood. 
 You know, your mother means to feast with 
 
 me, 
 And calls herself, Revenge, and thinks me 
 
 mad, — 
 Hark, villains ; I will grind your bones to 
 
 dust. 
 And with your blood and it, I '11 make a 
 
 paste ;

 And make two pasties of your shameful 
 
 heads : 
 And bid that strumpet, your unhallow'd 
 
 dam, 
 Like to the earth, swallow her own increase. 
 This is the feast that I have bid her to, 
 And this the banquet she shall surfeit on ; 
 For worse than Philomel you us'd my daugh- 
 ter, 
 And worse than Progue I will be reveng'd : 
 And now prepare your throats. — Lavinia, 
 
 come. 
 Receive the blood : and, when that they are 
 
 dead. 
 Let me go grind their bones to powder small. 
 And with this hateful liquor temper it ; 
 And in that paste let their vile heads be 
 
 bak'd. 
 Come, come, be every one officious 
 To make this banquet; which I wish may 
 
 prove 
 More stern and bloody than the Centaurs' 
 
 feast. 
 So, now bring them in, for I will play the 
 
 cook. 
 And see them ready 'gainst their mother 
 
 comes.

 -Suited to the Crime. 
 
 Goth. Renowned Lucius, from our troops 
 I strayed. 
 To gaze upon a ruinous monastery, 
 And as I earnestly did fix mine eye 
 Upon the wasted building, suddenly 
 I heard a cliild cry underneath a wall : 
 I made unto the noise ; when soon I heard 
 The crying babe controll'd with tliis dis- 
 course : 
 "Peace, tawny slave; half me, and half 
 
 thy dam 
 Did not thy hue bewray whose brat thou 
 
 art. 
 Had nature lent thee but thy mother's look, 
 Villain, thou might's liave been an emperor : 
 But where the bull and cow are both milk 
 
 white. 
 They never do beget a coal-black calf. 
 Peace, villain, peace!" — even thus he rates 
 
 the babe, — 
 " For I must bear thee to a trusty Goth ; 
 
 Who, when he knows thou art the empress' 
 
 babe. 
 Will hold thee dearly for thy mother's sake. " 
 With this my weapon drawn, I rush'd upon 
 
 him, 
 Surpris'd him suddenly; and brought him 
 
 hither. 
 To use as you think needful of the man. 
 Luc. worthy Goth ! this is the incar- 
 nate devil, 
 That robb'd Andronicus of his good hand : 
 This is the pearl that pleas'd your empress' 
 
 eye; 
 And here 's the base fruit of his burning lust. 
 Say, wall-ey'd slave, whither would'st thou 
 
 convey 
 This growing image of thy fiend-like face? 
 Why dost not speak? What! deaf? No; 
 
 not a word? 
 A halter, soldiers ; hang him on this tree. 
 And by his side his fruit of bastardy.

 a Jew, what should his sufferance be by 
 Christian example? why, revenge. The vil- 
 lainy you teach me I will execute ; and it 
 shall go hard but I will better the instruc- 
 tion.

 3far. 0, calm thee, gentle lord ! al-

 There is enough written upon this earth. 
 To stir a mutiny in the mildest thoughts, 
 And arm the minds of infants to exclaims. 
 My lord, kneel down with me ; Lavinia, 
 
 kneel; 
 And kneel, sweet boy, the Roman Hector's 
 
 hope ; 
 And swear with me, — as with the woeful 
 feere, 
 
 And father, of that chaste dishonour'd 
 
 dame, 
 Lord Junius Brutus sware for Lucrece' 
 
 rape, — 
 That we will prosecute, by good advice. 
 Mortal revenge upon these traitorous Goths, 
 And see their blood, or die with this re- 
 proach. 
 Tit. 'T is sure enough, an you knew 
 
 how. 
 But if you hurt these bear-whelps, then 
 
 beware : 
 The dam will wake ; and, if she wind you 
 
 once, 
 She 's with the lion deeply still in league. 
 And lulls him while she playeth on her 
 
 back. 
 And, when he sleeps, will she do what she 
 
 list. 
 You 're a young huntsman, Marcus ; let it 
 
 alone ; 
 And, come, I will go get a leaf of brass. 
 And with a gad of steel will write these 
 
 words, 
 And lay it by : the angry northern wind 
 Will blow these sands, like Sybil's leaves, 
 
 abroad. 
 And where 's your lesson then? — Boy, what 
 
 say you? 
 Mar. O heavens, can you hear a good 
 
 man groan. 
 And not relent, or not compassion him? 
 Marcus, attend him in his ecstacy ; 
 That hath more scars of sorrow in his heart, 
 Than foemen's marks upon his batter'd 
 
 shield ; 
 But yet so just, that he will not revenge : — 
 Revenge the heavens for old Andronicus !

 Now give some 'surance that thou art Re-

 Stab them, ar tear them on thy chariot 
 
 wlieels ; 
 And then I '11 come, and be thy waggoner, 
 And whirl along with thee about the globes. 
 Provide thee proper palfreys, black as jet, 
 To hale thy vengeful waggon swift away. 
 And find out murderers in their guilty caves : 
 And when thy car is loadenwith their heads, 
 I Avill dismount, and by the waggon wheel, 
 Trot, like a servile footman, all day long. 
 Even from Hyperion's rising in the east, 
 Until his very downfall in the sea : 
 And day by day I '11 do this heavy task, 
 So thou destroy Rapine and Murder there.

 dom, 
 To ease the gnawing vulture of thy mind, 
 By working wreakful vengeance on thy foes. 
 Come down, and welcome me to this world's 
 
 light ; 
 Confer with me of murder and of death : 
 There 's not a hollow cave, or lurking-place, 
 No vast obscurity, or misty vale. 
 Where bloody murder, or detested rape, 
 Can couch for fear, but I will find them out, 
 And in their ears tell them my dreadful 
 
 name, 
 Revenge, which makes the foul offender 
 quake.

 Thy other Edward dead, to quit my Edward ; 
 Young York he is but boot, because both 
 
 they 
 Match not the high perfection of my loss. 
 Thy Clarence he is dead, that stabb'd my

 And the beholders of this tragic play, 
 The adulterate Hastings, Rivers, Vaughan,

 Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. 
 Richard yet lives, hell's black intelligencer : 
 Only reserv'd their factor, to buy souls. 
 And send them thither : But at hand, at

 Ensues his piteous and unpitied end :

 A villain kills my father, and, for that, 
 
 I, his sole son, do this same villain send 
 
 To heaven. 
 
 Why, this is hire and salary, not re- 
 venge. 
 
 He took my father grossly, full of bread ; 
 
 With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as 
 May; 
 
 And, how his audit stands, who knows, save 
 heaven? 
 
 But, in our circumstance and course of 
 thought, 
 
 'T is heavy with him : And am I then re- 
 veng'd, 
 
 To take him in the purging of his soul. 
 
 When he is fit and season'd for his passage? 
 
 No. 
 
 Up, sword ; and know thou a more horrid 
 hent : 
 
 When he is drunk, asleep, or in his rage ; 
 
 Or in the incestuous pleasures of his bed ; 
 
 At gaming, swearing ; or about some act 
 
 That has no relish of salvation in 't ; 
 
 Then trip him, that his heels may kick at 
 heaven ; 
 
 And that his soul may be as damn'd and

 Albeit, I will confess thy father's wealth

 Bass. This ring, good sir, — alas, it is a 
 trifle ; 
 I will not shame myself to give yoii this. 
 
 Por. I will have nothing else but only this ; 
 And now, methinks, I have a mind to it. 
 Bass. There 's more depends on this than 
 on the value. 
 The dearest ring in Venice will I give you, 
 And find it out by proclamation ; 
 Only for this I pray you pardon me. 
 
 Por. I see, sir, you are liberal in offers : 
 You taught me first to beg; and now me- 
 thinks 
 You teach me how a beggar should be an- 
 swer'd. 
 Bass. Good sir, this ring was given me by 
 my wife ; 
 And, -when she put it on, she made me vow 
 That I should neither sell, nor give, nor lose it. 
 Por. That 'scuse serves many men to save 
 their gifts. 
 An if your wife be not a mad woman, 
 And know how well I have deserv'd this ring, 
 She would not hold out enemy for ever, 
 For giving it to me. "Well, peace be with you ! 
 A7it. My lord Bassanio, let him have the 
 ring; 
 Let his deservings, and my love withal. 
 Be valued against your wife's commandment.

 canst.

 Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, 
 And where care lodges, sleep will never 
 
 lie; 
 But where unbusied youth with unstuff^'d 
 
 brain 
 Doth couch his limbs, their golden sleep 
 
 doth reign : 
 Therefore thy earliness doth me assure. 
 Thou art up-rous'd by some distemp'rature ; 
 Or if not so, then here I hit it right — 
 Our Romeo hath not been in bed to-night.

 In top of all design, my mate in empire, 
 Friend and companion in the front of war.

 Your words I 'd catch, fair Hermia, ere I

 Q. Mar. Not all these lords do vex me 
 half so much, 
 As that proud dame, the lord protector's 
 
 wife. 
 She sweeps it through the court with troops 
 
 of ladies, 
 More like an empress than duke Hum- 
 phrey's wife; 
 Strangers in court do take her for the queen : 
 She bears a duke's revenues on her back. 
 And in her heart she scorns our pover- 
 
 erty : 
 Shall I not live to be aveng'd on her ? 
 Contemptuous base-born callat as she is, 
 She vaunted 'mong her minions t' other day. 
 The very train of her worst wearing-gown 
 Was better worth than all my father's lands.

 War, I love no colours ; and, without 
 all colour 
 Of base insinuating flattery, 
 I pluck this white rose, with Plantagenet. 
 Suf. I pluck this red rose, with young 
 Somerset; 
 And say withal, I think he held the right. 
 Ver. Stay, lords, and gentlemen ; and 
 pluck no more. 
 Till you conclude, — that he, upon whose 
 
 side 
 The fewest roses are cropp'd from the tree. 
 Shall yield the other in the right opinion. 
 Som. Good master Vernon, it is well ob- 
 jected ; 
 If I have fewest, I subscribe in silence. 
 Plan. And I. 
 
 Ver. Then, for the truth and plainness 
 of the case, 
 I pluck this pale, and maiden blossom here. 
 Giving my verdict on the white rose side. 
 Som. Prick not your finger as you pluck 
 it off; 
 Lest, bleeding, you do paint the white rose 
 
 red, 
 And fall on my side so against j'^our will. 
 Ver. If I, my lord, for my opinion 
 bleed, 
 Opinion shall be surgeon to my hurt. 
 And keep me on the side where still I am. 
 * * 
 
 Som. Ay, thou shalt find us ready for thee 
 still : 
 And know us, by these colours, for thy foes : 
 
ROSES.

 RUMOR. 
 
 For these my friends, in spite of thee, shall 
 
 ■wear. 
 Plan. And, by my soul, this pale and 
 
 angry rose, 
 As cognizance of my blood-drinking hate, 
 AVill I for ever, and my faction, wear ; 
 Until it wither with me to my grave, 
 Or flourish to the height of my degree. 
 
 War. * * 
 And here I prophesy, — This brawl to-day. 
 Grown to this faction, in the Temple garden, 
 Shall send, between the red rose and the 
 
 white, 
 A thousand souls to death and deadly night.

 ROUGHNESS.— A wise. 
 
 Pet. Why, that is nothing; for I tell 
 
 you, father, 
 I am as peremptory as she proud-minded ; 
 And where two raging fires meet together, 
 They do consume the thing that feeds their 
 
 fury: 
 Though little fire grows great with little 
 
 wind. 
 Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all : 
 So I to her, and so she yields to me ; 
 For I am rough, and woo not like a babe.

 ROUT. —A complete. 
 
 Post. No blame be to you, sir ; for all

 But that the heavens fought : The king him- 
 self 
 
 Of his wings destitute, the army broken, 
 
 And but the backs of Britons seen, all fly- 
 ing 
 
 Through a straight lane ; the enemy full- 
 hearted. 
 
 Lolling the tongue with slaughtering, having 
 work 
 
 More plentiful than tools to do 't, struck 
 down 
 
 Some mortally, some slightly touch'd, some 
 falling 
 
 Merely through fear : that the strait pass was 
 damm'd 
 
 With dead men, hurt beliind, and cowards 
 living 
 
 To die with lengthen'd shame.

 RUIN.— Foreseen. 
 
 Q. Eliz. Ah me, I see the ruin of my

 The tiger now hath seiz'd the gentle hind ; 
 Insulting tyranny begins to jet 
 Upon the innocent and awless throne : — 
 Welcome, destruction, blood, and massa-

 Rum. Ojien your ears ; For which of

 The vent of hearing, when loud Rumour 
 
 speaks ? 
 I, from the orient to the drooping west, 
 Making the wind my post-horse, still un- 
 fold 
 The acts commenced on this ball of earth : 
 Upon my tongues continual slanders ride ; 
 The which in every language I pronounce, 
 
 StuflSng the ears of men with false reports. 
 I speak of peace, while covert enmity, 
 Under the smile of safety, wounds the 
 
 world : 
 And who but Rumour, who but only I, 
 Make fearful musters, and prepar'd defence ; 
 Whilst the big year, swoU'nwith some other 
 
 grief. 
 Is thought witli child by the stern tyrant war 
 And no such matter? Rumour is a pipe 
 Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures; 
 And of so easy and so plain a stop. 
 That the blunt monster with uncounted 
 
 heads, 
 The still discordant wavering multitude. 
 Can play upon it.

 SACRIFICES.— Ad manes fratrum. 
 
 Luc. Give us the proudest prisoner of the 
 Goths, 
 That we may hew his limbs, and, on a pile. 
 Ad Tnanes fratrum, sacrifice his flesh. 
 Before this earthly prison of their bones ; 
 That so the shadows be not unappeas'd, 
 Nor we disturb 'd with prodigies on earth.

 It wearies me ; you saj'' it wearies you ; 
 But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, 
 What stuff 't is made of, whereof it is born, 
 I am to learn ; 
 
 And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, 
 That 1 have much ado to know myself. 
 
 M. F., I: 1. 361.

 Arih. Mercy on me ! 
 
 Methinks, nobody should be sad but I : 
 Yet, I remember, when I was in France, 
 Young gentlemen would be as sad as night. 
 Only for wantonness.

 And, to that dauntless temper of his mind. 
 He hath a wisdom that doth guide his val-

 To act in safety. There is none but he

 SANCTUARY.— None for Children. 
 
 Buck. You are too senseless-obstinate,

 Too ceremonious, and traditional : 
 Weigh it but with the grossness of this 
 
 age. 
 You break not sanctuary in seizing him. 
 The benefit thereof is always granted 
 To those whose dealings have deserv'd the 
 
 place. 
 And those who have the wit to claim the 
 
 place : 
 This prince hath neither claim'd it, nor de- 
 serv'd it; 
 And therefore, in mine opinion, cannot have 
 
 it: 
 Then, taking him from thence that is not 
 
 there. 
 You break no privilege nor charter there. 
 Oft have I heard of sanctuary men ; 
 But sanctuary children, ne'er till now.

 We should infringe the holy privilege 
 Of blessed sanctuary ! not for all this land. 
 Would I be guilty of so deep a sin.

 All our abilities, gifts, natures, shapes, 
 Severals and generals of grace exact, 
 Achievements, plots, orders, preventions. 
 Excitements to the field, or speech, for

 As stuff for these two to make paradoxes.

 And unregarded age in corners thrown. 
 Take that : and He that doth the ravens

 Yea, providently caters for the sparrow. 
 Be comfort to my age ! Here is the gold ; 
 All this I give you.

 The whitest virtue strikes. What king so

 All kinds of sores, and shames, on my bare

 Steep'd me in poverty to the very lips ; 
 Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes ; 
 I should have found in some part of my

 A drop of patience : but (alas !) to make me 
 A fixed figure, for the time of scorn 
 To point his slow unmoving finger at, —

 Scorn and derision never come in tears : 
 Look, when I vow, I weep ; and vows so

 How can these things in me seem scorn to

 And tempt the rheumy and unpurged air 
 To add unto his sickness? No, my Brutus ; 
 You have some sick offence within your 
 
 mind. 
 Which, by the right and virtue of my place, 
 I ought to know of: And, upon my knees, 
 I charm you, by my once commended beauty. 
 By all your vows of love, and that great vow 
 Which did incorporate and make us one. 
 That you unfold to me, yourself, your half, 
 Why you are heavy ; and what men to-night 
 Have had resort to you ; for here have been 
 Some six or seven, who did hide their faces 
 Even from darkness. 
 
 Bru. Kneel not, gentle Portia. 
 
 For. I should not need, if you were 
 
 gentle Brutus. 
 Within the bond of marriage, tell me, Brutus, 
 Is it excepted, I should know no secrets 
 That appertain to you? Am I yourself, 
 But, as it were, in sort, or limitation ; 
 To keep with you at meals, comfort your 
 
 bed. 
 And talk to you sometimes? Dwell I but 
 
 in the suburbs 
 Of your good pleasure? If it be no more, 
 Portia is Brutus' harlot, not his wife.

 SECURITY. 
 
 And with the ostent of war will look so

 Amazement shall drive courage from the

 Our men be vanquish'd, ere they do re-

 And subjects punish'd, that ne'er thought

 Which care of them, not pity of myself, 
 
 (Who am no more but as the tops of trees, 
 
 Which fence the roots they grow by, and 
 defend them,) 
 
 Makes both my body pine, and soul to lan-

 And punish that before, that he would pun-

 In riddles, and affairs of death ; 
 And I, the mistress of your charms, 
 The close contriver of all harms. 
 Was never call'd to bear my part, 
 Or show the glory of our art? 
 And, which is worse, all you have done 
 Hath been but for a wayward son, 
 Spiteful, and wrathful ; who, as others 
 
 do, 
 Loves for his own ends, not for you. 
 But make amends noAv : Get you gone. 
 And at the pit of Acheron, 
 Meet me i' the morning; thither he 
 Will come to know his destiny. 
 Your vessels, and your spells, provide. 
 Your charms, and everytliing beside : 
 I am for the air ; this night I '11 spend 
 Unto a dismal and a f;ital end. 
 Great business must be wrought ere noon : 
 Upon the corner of the moon 
 There hangs a vapourous drop profound ; 
 I '11 catch it ere it come to ground : 
 And that, distill'd by magic slights, 
 Shall raise such artificial sprights, 
 As, by the strength of their illusion.

 In sucli a rein, in full as proud a place

 Makes factious feasts ; rails on our state of

 Bold as an oracle : and sets Thersites 
 (A slave, whose gall coins slanders like a 
 
 mint,) 
 To match us in comparisons with dirt ; 
 To weaken and discredit our exposure. 
 How rank soever rounded in with danger.

 hasty : 
 
 But he fell to himself again, and, sweetly, 
 In all the rest showed a most noble patience. 
 
 2 Gent. I do not think, he fears death.

 And what cheer there for welcome, but my

 Therefore commend me ; let him not come

 Desolate, desolate, will I hence, and die : 
 The last leave of thee takes my weeping

 How fain would I have hated all mankind! 
 And thou redeem'st thyself; but all, save 
 
 thee, . -

 Methinks, thou art more honest now, than 
 
 wise, 
 For, by oppressing and betraying me. 
 Thou might'st have sooner got another ser- 
 vice ; 
 For many so arrive at second masters. 
 Upon their first lord's neck. But tell me 
 
 true, 
 (For I must ever doubt, though ne'er so 
 
 sure,) 
 Is not thy kindness subtle, covetous. 
 If not a usuring kindness ; and as rich men 
 
 deal gifts. 
 Expecting in return tAventy for one?

 Kent. That such a slave as this should 
 wear a sword. 
 Who wears no honesty. Such smiling rogues 
 
 as these. 
 Like rats, oft bite the holy cords atwain 
 Which are too intrinse t' unloose : smooth 
 
 every passion 
 That in the natures of the lords rebels ; 
 Bring oil to fire, snow to their colder moods ; 
 Ilenege, affirm, and turn their halcyon beaks 
 With every gale and vary of their masters, 
 As knowing nought, like dogs, but follow- 
 ing. — 
 A plague upon your epileptic visage ! 
 Smile you my speeches, as I were a fool? 
 Goose, if I had you upon Sarum plain, 
 I 'd drive ye cackling home to Camelot.

 Lear. What dost thou profess? What

 me in trust : to love him that is honest ; to 
 converse with him that is wise, and says 
 little ; to fear judgment ; to fightwhen I can- 
 not choose ; and to eat no fish. 
 
 Lear. What art thou? 
 
 Kent. A very honest-hearted fellow, and 
 as poor as the king. 
 
 Lear. If thou be as poor for a subject, 
 as he is for a king, thou art poor enough. 
 What wouldst thou? 
 
 Kent. Service. 
 
 Lear. Whom wouldst thou serve? 
 
 Kent. You. 
 
 Lear. Dost thou know me, fellow? 
 
 Kent. No, sir ; but you have that in your 
 countenance, which I would fain call master. 
 
 Lear. What 's that? 
 
 Kent. Authority. 
 
 Lear. What services canst thou do? 
 
 Kent. I can keep honest counsel, ride, 
 run, mar a curious tale in telling it, and 
 deliver a plain message bluntly : that which 
 ordinary men are fit for, I am qualified in ; 
 and the best of me is diligence. 
 
 Lear. How old art thou? 
 
 I^ent. Not so young, sir, to love a woman 
 of singing ; nor so old, to dote on her for any- 
 thing : I have years on my back forty-eight. 
 
 Lear. Follow me : thou shalt serve me : 
 if I like thee no worse after dinner, I will 
 not part from thee yet.

 service but blows : when I am cold, he heats 
 me with beating ; when I am warm, he cools 
 me with beating; I am wak'd with it, when 
 I sleep ; rais'd with it, when I sit ; driven out 
 of doors with it, when I go from home ; wel- 
 com'd home with it, when I return: nay, I 
 bear it on my shoulders, as a beggar wont 
 her brat; and, I think, -when he hath lam'd

 And such a one do I profess myself. For,

 It is as sure as you are Roderigo, 
 Were I the Moor, I would not be lago. 
 In following him I follow but mj'self ; 
 Heaven is my judge, not I for love and 
 
 duty. 
 But seeming so, for my peculiar end : 
 For when my outward action doth demon- 
 strate 
 The native act and figure of my heart 
 In complement extern, 't is not long after 
 But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve 
 For daws to peck at : I am not what I am.

 how he cried to me for help, and said his

 sea flap-dragon'd it: — but, first, how the

 The very life-blood of our enterprise ; 
 'T is catcliing hither, even to our camp. 
 He writes me here, — that inward sick- 
 ness, — 
 And that his friends by deputation could 
 
 not 
 So soon be drawn; nor did he think it 
 
 meet 
 To lay so dangerous and dear a trust 
 On any soul remov'd, but on his own. 
 Yet doth he give lis bold advertisement, 
 That with our small conjunction we should 
 
 on, 
 To see how fortune is dispos'd to us ; 
 For, as he writes, there is no quailing now. 
 Because the king is certainly possess'd 
 Of all our purposes. What say you to it? 
 Wor. Your father's sickness is a maim 
 
 to us. 
 Hot. A perilous gash, a very limb lopp'd 
 off: — 
 And yet, in faith, 't is not ; his present want 
 
 Seems more than we shall find it: — were it 
 
 good. 
 To set the exact wealth of all our states 
 All at one cast? to set so rich a main 
 On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour? 
 It were not good ; for therein should we 
 
 read 
 The very bottom and the soul of hope. 
 The very list, the very utmost bound 
 Of all our fortunes. 
 
 E. IV., 1 pt., IV : 1. 752. 
 
 — Misconceived. 
 
 Wor. But yet, I would your father had 
 been here. 
 The quality and hair of our attempt 
 Brooks no division ; it will be thought 
 By some, that know not why he is away, 
 That wisdom, loyalty, and mere dislike 
 Of our proceedings, kept the earl from 
 
 hence : 
 And think, how such an apprehension 
 May turn the tide of fearful faction. 
 And breed a kind of question in our cause ; 
 For, well you know, we of the offering side 
 Must keep aloof from strict arbitrement. 
 And stop all sight-holes, every loop from 
 
 whence 
 The eye of reason may pry in upon us : 
 This absence of your father's, draws a cur- 
 tain. 
 That shows the ignorant a kind of fear 
 Before not dreamt of.

 With less remorse than Pyrrhus' bleeding

 thens of "dildos and fadings : " "jump her

 To me and to my aid, the blest infusions 
 That dwell in vegetives, in metals, stones ; 
 And I can speak of the disturbances 
 That nature works, and of her cures ; which 
 
 give me 
 A more content in course of true delight 
 Than to be thirsty after tottering honour, 
 Or tie my treasure up in silken bags,

 And, out of question, so it is sometimes ; 
 Glory grows guilty of detested crimes ; 
 When, for fame's sake, for praise, an out-

 SLAUGHTER. 
 
 — Undermines Love. 
 Pro. The best way is, to slander Valen- 
 tine 
 With falsehood, cowardice, and poor de- 
 scent, 
 Three things that women highly hold in 
 hate. 
 Duke. Ay, but she '11 think that it is 
 
 spoke in hate. 
 Pro. Ay, if his enemy deliver it : 
 Therefore it must with circumstance be 
 
 spoken 
 By one whom she esteemeth as his friend. 
 Duke. Then you must undertake to 
 
 slander him. 
 Pro. And that, my lord, I shall be loth 
 to do : 
 'T is an ill office for a gentleman. 
 Especially against his very friend. 
 
 Duke. Where your good word cannot 
 advantage him, 
 Your slander never can endamage him ; 
 Therefore the office is indifferent, 
 Being entreated to it by your friend. 
 
 Pro. You have prevail'd, my lord : if I 
 can do it. 
 By aught that I can speak in his dis- 
 praise. 
 She shall not long continue love to him. 
 But say, this weed her love from Valen- 
 tine, 
 It follows not that she will love sir Thurio. 
 T. G., Ill : 2. 63. 
 
 — Venomous. 
 
 Pis. What shall I need to draw my 
 
 sword? the paper 
 Hath cut her throat already. — No, 't is 
 
 slander. 
 Whose edge is sharper than the sword ; 
 
 whose tongue 
 Outvenoms all the worms of Nile ; whose 
 
 breath 
 Kides on the posting winds, and doth be- 
 lie 
 All corners of the world ; kings, queens, 
 
 and states, 
 Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the 
 
 grave 
 This viperous slander enters.

 Q. Kaih. If I know you well, 
 
 You were the duke's surveyor, and lost

 On the complaint o' the tenants : Take good

 You charge not in your spleen a noble per- 
 son, 
 
 And spoil your nobler soul. I say, take 
 heed ; 
 
 Yes, heartily beseech you.

 And what they weigh, even to the utmost 
 
 scruple : 
 Scrambling, out-facing, fashion-mongring 
 
 boys. 
 That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and

 Go anticly, and show outward hideousness, 
 And speak off half a-dozen dang'rous words,

 durst, 
 
 And this is all !

 liv'st.

 To paly aslies ; thy eye's windows fall. 
 Like death, when he shuts up the day of life.

 And start so often when thou sitt'st alone? 
 Wliy hast thou lost the fresli blood in thy 
 
 cheeks ; 
 And given my treasures and my rights of 
 
 thee. 
 To thick-ey'd musing and curs'd melan- 
 choly? 
 In thy faint slumbers, I by thee have 
 
 watch'd. 
 And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars ; 
 Speak terms of manage to thy bounding 
 
 steed ; 
 Cry, ^'■Courage! to the field!" — Andthou 
 
 hast talk'd 
 Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents. 
 Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets, 
 Of basilisks, of cannon, cuh'erin, 
 Of prisoners' ransom, and of soldiers slain, 
 And all the 'currents of a heady fight. 
 Thy spirit within thee hath been so at 
 
 war. 
 And thus hath so bestirr'd thee in thy 
 
 sleep. 
 That beads of sweat have stood upon thy 
 
 brow. 
 Like bubbles in a late disturbed stream ; 
 And in thy face strange motions have ap- 
 
 pear'd. 
 Such as we see when men restrain their 
 
 breath 
 On some great sudden best. 0, what por- 
 tents are these? 
 Some heavy business hath my lord in 
 
 hand. 
 And I must know it, else he loves me not.

 Under the canopies of costly state.

 O thou dull god ! why liest thou with the vile, 
 In loathsome beds ; and leav'st the kingly 
 
 couch, 
 A watch-case, or a common 'larum bell? 
 Wilt thou upon the high and giddy mast 
 
 Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his 
 
 brains 
 In cradle of the rude imperious surge ; 
 And in the visitation of the winds, 
 Who take the ruffian billows by the top, 
 Curling their monstrous heads, and hanging 
 
 them 
 With deafning clamours in the slippery 
 
 clouds, 
 That, with the hurly, death itself awakes? 
 Can'st thou, O partial sleep ! give thy repose 
 To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude ; 
 And, in the calmest and most stillest night. 
 With all appliances and means to boot.

 who came oif bravely, who was shot, who 
 disgraced, what terms the enemy stood on ; 
 and this they con perfectly in the phrase oi

 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 grunt and sweat under a weary life ; 
 But that the dread of something after death. 
 The 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. — Soft you, 
 
 now ! 
 The fair Ophelia : — Nymph, in thy orisons 
 Be all my sins remember'd. 
 
 Ojj/i. Good my lord, 
 
 How does your honor for this many a day? 
 Ham. I humbly thank you ; well.

 Ham. Alas, poor Yorick ! — I knew him, 
 Horatio ; a fellow of infinite jest, of most ex- 
 cellent fancy : he hath borne me on his back 
 a thousand times ; and now, how abhorred 
 in my imagination it is ! my gorge rises at 
 it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed 
 I know not how oft. Where be your gibes 
 now? your gambols? your songs? your 
 flashes of merriment, that were wont to set 
 the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock 
 your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now 
 get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, 
 let her paint an inch thick, to this favor she 
 must come ; make her laugh at that.

 — Macbeth's, on the Eve of Dun- 
 can's Murder. 
 
 Mach. If it were done, when 't is done, 
 
 then 't were well 
 It were done quickly : If the assassination 
 Could trammel uji the consequence, and 
 
 catch, 
 With his surcease, success ; that but this 
 
 blow 
 Might be the be-all and the end all here, 
 But here, upon this bank and shoal of 
 
 time, — 
 "We 'd jump the life to come. — But, in 
 
 these cases, 
 We still have judgment here ; that we but 
 
 teach 
 Bloody instructions, which, being taught, 
 
 return 
 To plague the inventor ; this even-handed 
 
 justice 
 Commends the ingredients of our poison'd 
 
 chalice 
 To our own lips. He 's here in double trust : 
 First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, 
 Strong both against the deed ; then, as his 
 
 host. 
 Who should against his murderer shut the 
 
 door. 
 Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this 
 
 Duncan 
 Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been 
 So clear in his great office, that his virtues 
 Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongu'd 
 
 against 
 The deep damnation of his taking-off ; 
 And pity, like a naked new-born babe. 
 Striding the blast, or heaveus cherubin, 
 
 hors'd 
 Upon the sightless couriers of the air. 
 Shall blow tlie horrid deed in every eye, 
 That tears shall drown the wind. — I have 
 
 no spur 
 To prick the sides of my intent, but only 
 Vaulting ambition, which o'er-leaps itself, 
 And falls on the other.

 — Macbeth's, on the Dagger. 
 
 Mach. * * 
 Is this a dagger, which I see before me. 
 The handle toward my hand? Come, let me 
 clutch thee : — 
 
 I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. 
 
 Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible 
 
 To feeling, as to sight? or art thou but 
 
 A dagger of the mind, a false creation, 
 
 Proceeding from the hcat-oiipressed brain? 
 
 I see thee yet in form as palpable 
 
 As this which now I draw. 
 
 Thou marshal'st me the way that I was go- 
 ing; 
 
 And such an instrument I was to use. 
 
 Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other 
 senses, 
 
 Or else worth all the rest : I see thee still ; 
 
 And on thy blade, and dudgeon, gouts of 
 blood. 
 
 Which was not so before. — There 's no 
 such thing : 
 
 It is the bloody business, which informs 
 
 Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one half 
 world 
 
 Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams 
 abuse 
 
 The curtain'd sleep; now witchcraft cele- 
 brates 
 
 Pale Hecate's offerings ; and wither'd mur- 
 der, 
 
 Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf. 
 
 Whose howl 's his watch, thus with his 
 stealthy pace, 
 
 With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards 
 his design 
 
 Moves like a ghost. — Thou sure and firm- 
 set earth. 
 
 Hear not my steps, wliich way they walk, 
 for fear 
 
 Thy very stones prate of my where-about, 
 
 And take the present horror from the time, 
 
 Which now suits with it. — Whiles I threat, 
 he lives ; 
 
 Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath 
 gives. 
 
 I go, and it is done ; the bell invites me. 
 
 Hear it not, Duncan ; for it is a knell 
 
 That summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

 Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ru- 
 by lips, 
 To beg the voice and utterance of my 
 
 tongue ; 
 A curse shall light upon the limbs of men ; 
 ])omestic fury, and fierce civil strife, 
 Shall cumber all the parts of Italy : 
 Blood and destruction shall be so in use, 
 And dreadful objects so tiimiliar, 
 Tliat mothers shall but smile, when they be- 
 hold 
 Their infants quarter'd with the hands of 
 
 war; 
 All pity chok'd with custom of fell deeds : 
 And Cassar's spirit, ranging for revenge. 
 With Ate by his side, come hot from hell. 
 Shall in these confines, with a monarch's 
 
 voice. 
 Cry '■^ Havoc! " and let slip the dogs of war; 
 That this foul deed shall smell above the 
 
 earth 
 With carrion men, groaning for burial.

 SOLITUDE. — A desolate, Described. 
 Tarn. Have I not reason, think you, to 
 
 look pale? 
 These two have 'tic'd me hither to tliis 
 
 place, 
 A barren detested vale, you see, it is : 
 The trees, though summer, yet forlorn and 
 
 lean, 
 O'ercome with moss, and baleful misletoe. 
 Here never shines the sun; here nothing 
 
 breeds, 
 Unless the nightly owl, or fatal raven. 
 And, when they show'd me this abhorred pit. 
 They told me, here, at dead time of the' 
 
 night, 
 A thousand fiends, a thousand hissing 
 
 snakes. 
 Ten tliousand swelling toads, as many 
 
 urchins. 
 Would make such fearful and confused 
 
 cries, 
 As any mortal body, hearing it. 
 Should straight fall mad, or else die sud- 
 denly. 
 
 No sooner had they told this hellish tale, 
 But straight they told me, they would bind 
 
 me here 
 Unto the body of a dismal yew ; 
 And leave me to this miserable death. 
 
 Tit. And., II : 3. 1210. 
 
 — Enforced, Suggests Thoughts. 
 
 K. Rich. I have been studying how I may 
 compare 
 This prison, where I live, unto the world : 
 And, for because the world is populous. 
 And here is not a creature but myself, 
 I cannot do it; — yet I '11 hammer it out. 
 My brain I '11 prove the female to my soul ; 
 My soul, the father : and these two beget 
 A generation of still-breeding thoughts, 
 And these same thoughts people this little 
 
 world ; 
 In humors, like the people of this world. 
 For no thought is contented. The better 
 
 sort, — 
 As thoughts of things divine, — are inter- 
 
 mix'd 
 With scruples, and do set the Word itself 
 Against the AVord : 
 As thus, — ^^ Come, little ones;" and then 
 
 again, — 
 " It is as hard to come, as for a camel 
 To thread the postern of a needless ei/e." 
 Thoughts tending to ambition, they do plot 
 Unlikely w^onders : how these vain weak 
 
 nails 
 May tear a passage through the flinty ribs 
 Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls ; 
 And, for they cannot, die in their own pride. 
 Thoughts tending to content, flatter them- 
 selves 
 That they are not the first of fortune's slaves, 
 Nor shall not be the last ; like silly beggars, 
 Who, sitting in the stocks, refuge their 
 
 shame. 
 That many have, and others must sit there ; 
 And in this thought they find a kind of ease, 
 Bearing their own misfortune on the back 
 Of such as have before endur'd the like. 
 Thus play I, in one person, many people, 
 And none contented : sometimes am I king ; 
 Then, treason makes me wish myself a beg- 
 gar. 
 And so I am : then, crushing penury 
 Persuades me I was better when a king ; 
 
SOLITUDE. 
 
 509 
 
 SOMNAMBULISM. 
 
 Then, am I king'd again : and, by and by. 
 Think that I am unking'd by Bolingbroke, 
 And straight am nothing: — but whate'er I 
 
 am, 
 Nor I, nor any man, that but man is, 
 With nothing shall be pleas'd, till he be 
 
 eas'd 
 With being nothing. — Music do I hear? 
 Ha, ha! keep time: — how sour sweet 
 
 music is. 
 When time is broke, and no proportion kept ! 
 So is it in the music of men's lives, 
 And here have I the daintiness of ear 
 To check time broke in a disorder'd string ; 
 But, for the concord of my state and time, 
 Had not an ear to hear my true time broke. 
 I wasted time, and now doth time waste 
 
 me ; 
 For now hath time made me his numbering 
 
 clock ; 
 My thoughts are minutes : and, with sighs, 
 
 they jar 
 Their watches on unto mine eyes, the out- 
 ward watch, 
 Whereto my finger, like a dial's point, 
 Is pointing still, in cleansing them from 
 
 tears. 
 Now, sir, the sounds that tell what hour it 
 
 is. 
 Are clamorous groans, that strike upon my 
 
 heart. 
 Which is the bell; so sighs, and tears, and 
 
 groans, 
 Show minutes, times, and hours : — but my 
 
 time 
 Runs posting on in Bolingbroke's proud joy, 
 While I stand fooling here, his Jack o' the 
 
 clock. 
 This music mads me ; let it sound no more ; 
 For though it have holp madmen to their 
 
 wits, 
 In me, it seems, it will make wise men mad. 
 Yet, blessing on his heart that gives it me ! 
 For 't is a sign of love ; and love to Kicliard 
 Is a strange brooch in this all-hating world.

 Lady M. Yet, here 's a spot. 
 
 Doct. Hark, she speaks : I will set 
 down what comes from her, to satisfy my

 't : Hell is murky ! — Fie, my lord, fie !

 who knows it, when none can call our 
 power to account? — Yet who would have 
 thought the old man to have had so much 
 blood in him?

 Where is she now? What, will these

 this starting.

 yet again Banquo's buried ; he cannot come 
 out of his grave.

 Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant ; 
 Who is sweet fortune's minion, and her 
 
 pride : 
 Whilst I, by looking on the praise of him. 
 See riot and dishonour stain the brow 
 Of my young Harry. 0, that it could be

 I would to God, ray lords, he might be 
 fbund : 
 
 Inquire at London, 'mongst the taverns 
 there, 
 
 For there, they say, he daily doth frequent. 
 
 With unrestrained loose companions ; 
 
 Even such, they say, as stand in narrow 
 lanes, 
 
 And beat our watch, and rob our passen- 
 gers ; 
 While he, young, wanton, and effeminate 
 
 l^oy. 
 Takes on the point of honour, to support 
 So dissolute a crew. 
 
 Percy. My lord, some two days since I 
 saw the prince ; 
 And told him of these triumphs held at Ox- 
 ford. 
 Baling. And what said the gallant? 
 Percy. His answer was, — he would unto 
 the stews; 
 And from the commonest creature pluck a 
 
 glove. 
 And wear it as a favour ; and with that 
 He would unhorse the lustiest challenger. 
 Baling. As dissolute, as desperate : yet, 
 through both 
 I see some sparkles of a better hope. 
 Which elder days may happily bring forth. 
 But who comes here?

 And men ne'er spend their fury on a child. 
 What's worse than murderer, that I may

 No, no ; my heart will burst, an if I speak : 
 And I will speak, that so my heart may 
 
 burst. 
 Butchers and villains, bloody cannibals ! 
 How sweet a plant have you untimely 
 
 cropp'd ! 
 You have no children, butchers ! if you had. 
 The thought of them Avould have stirr'd up

 But, if you ever chance to have a child.

 3 Gent. One of the prettiest touches of

 (caught tlie Avater, though not the fish,) 
 was, when at the relation of the queen's 
 death, with the manner how she came to it, 
 (bravely confess'd, 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 
 tiiere changed colour ; some swoon'd ; all

 From some forefather grief; mine is not so ; 
 For nothing hath begot my something grief;

 Sorrow breaks seasons, and reposing hours,

 Princes have but their titles for their glories. 
 An outward honour for an inward toil ; 
 
 And, for unfelt imaginations. 
 They often feel a world of restless cares : 
 So that, between their titles, and low name, 
 There 's nothing differs but the outward 
 fame.

 pardon me ; 
 Neither my place, nor aught I heard of bus- 
 iness, 
 Hath rais'd me from my bed ; nor doth the 
 
 general care 
 Take hold on me ; for my particular grief 
 Is of so flood-gate and o'erbearing nature. 
 That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, 
 And it is still itself.

 And I have read that Hecuba of Troy 
 Ran mad through sorrow : That made me to 
 
 fear ; 
 Although, my lord, I know, my noble aunt 
 Loves me as dear as e'er my mother did. 
 And would not, but in fury, fright my 
 
 youth : 
 Which made me down to throw my books, 
 
 and fly ; 
 Causeless, perliaps : But pardon me, sweet

 name. 
 Where life hath no more interest but to 
 
 breathe. 
 
 Tit. And., Ill : 1 1217. 
 
 — Fathomless. 
 Tit, Is not my sorrow deep, having no 
 bottom? 
 Then be my passions bottomless with them. 
 Mar. But yet let reason govern thy la- 
 ment. 
 Tit. If there were reason for these mis- 
 eries, 
 Then into limits could I bind my woes : 
 When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth 
 
 o'erflow? 
 If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, 
 Threat'ning the welkin with his big-swoln 
 
 face? 
 And wilt thou have a reason for this coil? 
 I am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow ! 
 She is the weeping welkin, I the earth : 
 Then must my sea be moved with her sighs ; 
 Then must my earth with her continual 
 
 tears 
 Become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd : 
 For why? my bowels cannot hide her woes, 
 But like a drunkard must I vomit them. 
 Then give me leave ; for losers will have 
 
 leave 
 To ease their stomachs with their bitter 
 tongues. 
 
 Tit. And., Ill : 1. 1216. 
 
 — Great. 
 
 Bed. Hung be the heavens with black, 
 yield day to night ! 
 Comets, importing change of times and 
 
 states, 
 Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky ; 
 And with them scourge the bad revolting 
 
 stars. 
 That have consented unto Henry's death ! 
 
 H. F/., Ipt., I: 1. 864. 
 
 — Heart-breaking. 
 
 Q. Eliz. Ah, cut my lace asunder ! 
 That my pent heart may have some scope to 
 
 beat, 
 Or else I swoon with this dead-killing news. 
 Anne. Despiteful tidings ! O unpleasing 
 news ! 
 
 Dor. Be of God cheer: Mother, how 
 
 fares your grace? 
 Q. Eliz. O Dorset, speak not to me, get 
 thee gone. 
 
 Death and destruction dog thee at thy 
 heels ; 
 
 Thy mother's name is ominous to child- 
 ren; 
 
 If thou wilt outstrip death, go cross the 
 seas. 
 
 And live with Kichmond, from the reach of 
 hell. 
 
 Go, hie thee, hie thee, from this slaughter- 
 house, 
 
 Lest thou increase the number of the 
 dead; 
 
 And make me die the thrall of Margaret's 
 curse, — 
 
 Nor mother, wife, nor England's counted 
 queen.

 Leon. * * Once a day I '11 visit

 Ay, now begin our sorrows to approach.

 Jul. She hath been fairer, madam, than 
 she is : 
 When she did think my master lov'd her 
 well, 
 
SORROW. 
 
 514 
 
 SORROW. 
 
 She, in my judgment, was as fair as you ; 
 But since she did neglect her looking- 
 glass, 
 And threw her sun-expelling mask away, 
 The air hath starv'd the roses in her 
 
 cheeks, 
 And pineh'd the lily-tincture of her face. 
 That now she is become as black as I.

 Gui. Cadwal, 
 I cannot sing : I '11 weep, and word it with

 Than priests and fanes that lie.

 Glo. Ambitious churchman, leave to af-

 Or to the meanest groom.

 And left thee there ; where thou didst vent 
 
 thy groans, 
 As fast as mill-wheels strike. 
 
 T., I: 2. 11. 
 
 — Leads to Bitterness. 
 
 Q. Mar. If ancient sorrow be most rev- 
 erent. 
 Give mine the benefit of seniory. 
 And let my griefs froAvn on the upper hand. 
 If sorrow can admit society. 
 Tell o'er your woes again by viewing mine : 
 I had an Edward, till a Richard kill'd him ; 
 I had a husband, till a Richard kill'd him ; 
 Thou hadst an Edward, till a Richard kill'd 
 
 him : 
 Thou hadst a Richard, till a Richard kill'd 
 
 him. 
 Duch. I had a Richard too, and thou 
 
 didst kill him ; 
 I had a Rutland too, thou holp'st to kill 
 
 him; 
 Q. 3Iar. Thou hadst a Clarence too, and 
 
 Richard kill'd him. 
 From forth the kennel of thy womb hath 
 
 crept 
 A hell-hound, that doth hunt us all to 
 
 death : 
 That dog, that had his teeth before his eyes 
 To worry lambs, and lap their gentle blood; 
 That foul defacer of God's handy-work, 
 That excellent grand tyrant of the earth. 
 That reigns in galled eyes of weeping souls ; 
 Thy womb let loose, to chase us to our 
 
 graves. 
 O upright, just and true-disposing God, 
 Hov¥ do I thank Thee, that this carnal cur 
 Preys on the issue of his mother's body. 
 And makes her pew-fellow with others' 
 
 moan ! 
 Duch. O, Harry's wife, triumph not in 
 
 my woes ; 
 God witness with me, I have wept for thine. 
 R. HI., iV : 4. 1034. 
 
 — Long-continued. 
 
 King. 'T is sweet and commendable in 
 your nature, Hamlet, 
 To give these mourning duties to your 
 father : 
 
SORROW. 
 
 515 
 
 SORROW. 
 
 But, you must know, your fiither lost a 
 
 father ; 
 That father lost, lost his ; and the survivor 
 
 bound 
 In filial obligation, for some term 
 To do obsequious sorrow : But to persever 
 In obstinate condolement, is a course 
 Of impious stubbornness ; 't is unmanly 
 
 grief: 
 It shows a will most incorrect to heaven ; 
 A heart unfortified, a mind impatient; 
 An understanding simple and unschool'd : 
 For what we know must be, and is as com- 
 mon 
 As any the most vulgar thing to sense, 
 Why should we, in our peevish opposition, 
 Take it to heart? Tie ! 't is a fault to heaven, 
 A fault against the dead, a fault to nature, 
 To reason most absurd; whose common 
 
 theme 
 Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried. 
 From the first corse till he that died to-day, 
 " Thismust he so." We pray you, throw to 
 
 earth 
 This unprevailing woe ; and think of us 
 As of a father : for let the world take note, 
 You are the most immediate to our throne ; 
 And, with no less nobility of love 
 Than that which dearest father bears his son. 
 Do I impart toward you. For your intent 
 In going back to school in Wittenberg, 
 It is most retrograde to our desire : 
 And we beseech you, bend you to remain 
 Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye. 
 Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.

 Tro. * * 
 But sorrow, that is couch'd in seeming 
 
 gladness. 
 Is like that mirth fate turns to sudden sad- 
 ness. 
 
 T. C, 1 : 1. 1103. 
 
 — Not Long-lived. 
 
 Cam. My lord, your sorrow was too sore 
 laid on ; 
 Which sixteen winters cannot blow away, 
 So many summers dry : scarce any joy 
 Did ever so long live ; no sorrow, 
 But kill'd itself much sooner. 
 
 W. r.,V: 3. 616.

 Must not be measur'd by his worth, for

 — Passeth Sho-w. 
 Ham. Seems, madam ! nay, it is ; I 
 
 know not seems. 
 'T is not alone my inky cloak, good mother. 
 Nor customary suits of solemn black. 
 Nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath. 
 No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, 
 Nor the dejected haviour of the visage. 
 Together with all forms, modes, shows of 
 
 grief. 
 That can denote me truly : These, indeed, 
 
 seem. 
 For they are actions that a man might play : 
 But I have that within, which passeth show : 
 These, but the trappings and the suits of 
 
 woe. 
 
 H., 1 : 2. 1394.

 Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their

 And set them upright at their dear friends'

 And on their skins, as on the bark of trees. 
 
 Have with my knife carved in Roman let- 
 ters, 
 
 "Let not your sorrow die, though I am 
 dead."

 SORROWS. 
 
 Oh, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, 
 These sorrowful drops upon thy blood- 
 
 stain'd face, 
 The last true duties of thy noble son. 
 
 Marc. Tear for tear, and loving kiss for 
 
 kiss, 
 Thy brother Marcus tenders on thy lips. 
 Oh, were the sum of these that I should pay 
 Countless and infinite, yet would I pay 
 
 them. 
 Luc. Come hither, boy ; come, come, 
 
 and learn of us 
 To melt in showers. Thy grandsire lov'd 
 
 thee well ; 
 Many a time he danc'd thee on his knee. 
 Sung thee asleep, his loving breast thy pil- 
 low ; 
 Many a matter hath he told to thee. 
 Meet and agreeing with thine infancy ; 
 In that respect, then, like a loving child. 
 Shed yet some small drops from thy tender 
 
 spring. 
 Because kind nature doth require it so : 
 Friends should associate friends in grief 
 
 and woe. 
 Bid him farewell, cominit him to the grave. 
 Do him that kindness and take leave of him. 
 Boy. 0, grandsire, grandsire, even with 
 
 all my heart 
 Would I were dead, so you did live again ! 
 O, Lord, I cannot speak to him for weeping; 
 My tears will choke me if I ope my mouth. 
 Tit. And., V : 3. 1231. 
 
 — Real and affected. 
 
 Laf. Your commendations, madam, get 
 from her tears. 
 
 Count. 'T is the best brine a maiden can 
 season her praise in. The remembrance of 
 her father never approaches her heart, but 
 the tyranny of her sorrows takes all liveli- 
 hood from her cheek. No more of this, Hel- 
 ena — go to, no more; lest it be rather 
 thought you affect a sorrow, than to have. 
 
 Ilel. I do affect a sorrow, indeed, but I 
 have it too.

 Whispers the o'er-fraught heart, and bids it 
 break.

 One sorrow never comes, but brings an

 And so in ours : some neighbouring nation.

 And make a conquest of unhappy me, 
 Whereas no glory 's got to overcome.

 — Mark Antony's, on the Death of 
 Caesar. 
 
 Ant. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend 
 me your ears ; 
 I come to bury Cffisar, not to praise him. 
 The evil, that men do, lives after them; 
 The good is oft interred with their bones ; 
 So let it be with Cassar. The noble Brutus 
 Hath told you, Cassar was ambitious : 
 If it were so, it was a grievous fault; 
 And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. 
 Here under leave of Brutus, and the rest, 
 (For Brutus is an honourable man ; 
 So are they all, all honourable men ;) 
 Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. 
 He was my friend, faithful and just to me : 
 
 But Brutus says, he was ambitious ; 
 
 And Brutus is an honourable man. 
 
 He hath brouglit many captives home to 
 Rome, 
 
 Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill : 
 
 Did this in Cajsar seem ambitious? 
 
 When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath 
 wept: 
 
 Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: 
 
 Yet Brutus says, he was ambitious ; 
 
 And Brutus is an honourable man. 
 
 You all did see, that on the Lupercal, 
 
 I thrice presented him a kingly crown. 
 
 Which he did thrice refuse. Was this am- 
 bition? 
 
 Yet Brutus says, he was ambitious ; 
 
 And, sure, he is an honourable man. 
 
 I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, 
 
 But here I am to speak what I do know. 
 
 You all did love him once, not without 
 cause ; 
 
 What cause withholds you then to mourn 
 for him? 
 
 O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, 
 
 And men have lost their reason! — Bear 
 with me ; 
 
 My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, 
 
 And I must pause till it comes back to me. 
 
 * * 
 
 But yesterday, the word of Caesar might . 
 Have stood against the world : now lies he 
 
 there. 
 And none so poor to do him reverence. 
 
 masters ! if I were dispos'd to stir 
 Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, 
 
 1 should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius 
 
 wrong. 
 Who, you all know, are honourable men : 
 I will not do them wrong; I rather choose 
 To wrong the dead, to wrong myself, and 
 
 you. 
 Than I M-ill wrong such honourable men. 
 But here 's a parchment, with the seal of 
 
 Csesar, 
 I found it in his closet, 't is his will : 
 Let but the commons hear this testament, 
 (Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read,) 
 And they would go and kiss dead Caesar's 
 
 wounds. 
 And dip their napkins in his sacred blood ; 
 Yea, beg a hair of him for memory. 
 And, dying, mention it within their wills, 
 
Bequeathing it, as a rich legacy, 
 Unto their issue. 
 
 4 Git. We '11 hear the -will: Read it, 
 
 Mark Antony. 
 Cit. The Avill, the will; we will hear 
 
 Ca3sar's will. 
 Ant. Have patience, gentle friends, I 
 must not read it ; 
 It is not meet you know how Caesar lov'd 
 
 you. 
 You are not wood, you are not stones, but 
 
 men; 
 And, being men, hearing the will of Caesar, 
 It will inflame you, it will make you mad : 
 'T is good you know not that you are his 
 
 heirs ; 
 For if you should, O, what would come of it! 
 4 Cit. Read the will ; we will hear it, 
 Antony ; 
 You shall read us the will; Caesar's will. 
 Ant. Will you be patient? Will you 
 stay a while? 
 I have o'ershot myself, to tell you of it, 
 I fear, I wrong the honourable men. 
 Whose daggers have stabb'd Caesar; I do 
 fear it. 
 4 at. They were traitors : Honourable 
 
 men! 
 Cit. The will ! the testament ! 
 2 Cit. They were villains, murderers : 
 
 The will ! read the will ! 
 Ant. You will compel me then to read 
 the will? 
 Then make a ring about the corpse of Caesar, 
 And let me show you him that made the will. 
 Shall I descend? And will you give me 
 leave? 
 Cit. Come down. 
 
 2 Cit. Descend. 
 
 3 Cit. You shall have leave. 
 
 4 Cit. A ring ; stand round, 
 
 1 Cit. Stand from the hearse, stand from 
 
 the body. 
 
 2 Cit. Room for Antony ; — most noble' 
 
 Antony. 
 Ant. Nay, press not so upon me ; stand 
 
 far oif. 
 Cit. Stand back ! room ! bear back ! 
 Ant. If you have tears, prepare to shed 
 them now. 
 You all do know this mantle : I remember 
 The first time ever Caesar put it on ; 
 
 'T was on a summer's evening, in his tent : 
 
 That day he overcame the Nervii : — 
 
 Look ! in this place, ran Cassius' dagger 
 
 through, 
 See, what a rent the envious Casca made : 
 Through this, the well-beloved Brutus 
 
 stabb'd ; 
 And, as he pluck'd his curs'd steel away, 
 Mark how the blood of Caesar follow 'd it ; 
 As rushing out of doors, to be resolv'd 
 If Brutus so unkindly knock'd, or no ; 
 For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's an- 
 
 gel: 
 Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar lov'd 
 
 him? 
 This was the most unkindest cut of all : 
 For when the noble Caesar saw him stab. 
 Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' 
 
 arms. 
 Quite vanquish'd him : then burst his mighty 
 
 heart ; 
 And in his mantle muffling up his face. 
 Even at the base of Pompey's statue, 
 Which all the -while ran blood, great Caesar 
 
 fell. 
 0, what a fall was there, my countrymen ! 
 Then I, and you, and all of us fell down. 
 Whilst bloody treason flourish'd over us. 
 O, now you weep ; and, I perceive, you feel 
 The dint of pity ; these are gracious drops. 
 Kind souls, what, weep you, when yo\i but 
 
 behold 
 Our Csesar's vesture wounded? Look you 
 
 here. 
 Here is himself, marr'd, as you see, with 
 
 traitors. 
 
 Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir 
 you up 
 
 To such a sudden flood of mutiny. 
 
 They, that have done this deed, are honour- 
 able; 
 
 What private griefs they have, alas, I know 
 not. 
 
 That made them do 't ; they are wise and 
 honourable, 
 
 And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you. 
 
 I come not, friends, to steal away your 
 hearts ; 
 
 I am no orator, as Brutus is : 
 
 But, as you know me all, a plain blunt 
 man, 
 
SPEECH. 
 
 519 
 
 SPEECH. 
 
 Tliat love my friend ; and that they know 
 full well 
 
 That gave me public leave to speak of him. 
 
 For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, 
 
 Action, nor utterance, nor the power of 
 speech, 
 
 To stir men's blood : I only speak right on ; 
 
 I tell you that, which you yourselves do 
 know ; 
 
 Show you sweet Caesar's wounds, poor, 
 poor dumb mouths, 
 
 And bid them speak for me : But were I 
 Brutus, 
 
 And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony 
 
 Would ruffle up your spirits, and put a 
 tongue 
 
 In every wound of Csesar, that should move. 
 
 The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny. 
 
 * * 
 
 Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, 
 
 His private arbours, and newly-planted or- 
 chards. 
 
 On this side Tiber ; he hath left them you, 
 
 And to your heirs for ever, common jjleas- 
 ures, 
 
 To walk abroad, and recreate yourselves. 
 
 Here was a Csesar ! when comes such an- 
 other? 
 
 J. C, III : 2. 1339. 
 
 — Of Brutus, a Defence of Assas- 
 sinatioai. 
 
 3 at. The noble Brutus is ascended : si- 
 lence ! 
 
 Bru. Be patient till the last. 
 Romans, countrymen, and lovers ! hear me 
 for my cause ; and be silent that you may 
 hear : believe me for mine honour ; and 
 have respect to mine honour, that you may 
 believe : censure me in your wisdom ; and 
 awalicyour senses, that you may tlie better 
 judge. If there be any in this assembly, 
 any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, 
 that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less 
 tlian his. If, then, that friend demand why 
 Brutus rose against Cffisar, this is my an- 
 swer, — not that I loved Caesar less, but 
 that I loved Rome more. Had you rather 
 Cassar were living, and die all slaves ; than 
 that Ceesar were dead, to live all free men? 
 As Cajsar loved me, I weep for him ; as he 
 was fortunate, I rejoice at it ; as he was 
 valiant, I lionour him ; but, as he was am- 
 bitious, I slew him : tliere is tears for his 
 love; joy for his fortune; honour for his 
 valour; and death for his ambition. AVho 
 is here so base, that would be a bondman? 
 
 If any, speak : for him have I offended. 
 Who is here so rude, that would not be a 
 Roman? If any, speak, for him have I of- 
 fended. Who is here so vile, that will not 
 love his country? If any, speak : for him 
 have I offended. ■ I pause for a reply. 
 Citizens. None, Brutus, none. 
 
 Bru. Then none have I offended. I 
 have done no more to Caesar, than you shall 
 do to Brutus. The question of his death is 
 enrolled in the Capitol ; his glory not ex- 
 tenuated, wherein he was worthy ; nor his 
 offences enforced, for whicli he suffered 
 death. Here comes his body, mourned by 
 Mark Antony : who, though he had no hand 
 in his death, shall receive the benefit of his 
 dying, a place in the commonwealth ; as 
 which of you shall not? With this I de-

 for myself, when it shall please my country 
 to need my death. 
 
 J. C, III : 2. 1339. 
 
 — Of the King of Denmark's Ghost. 
 
 Ohosi. Ay, that incestuous, that adulter- 
 ate beast. 
 With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous 
 
 gifts, 
 (0 wicked wit, and gifts, that have the 
 
 power 
 So to seduce !) won to his shameful lust 
 The will of my most seeming virtuous queen : 
 0, Hamlet, what afalling-ofF was there ! 
 From me, whose love was of that dignity. 
 That it went hand in hand even with the vow 
 I made to her in marriage ; and to decline 
 Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were 
 
 poor 
 To those of mine ! 
 
 But virtue, as it never will be mov'd. 
 Though lewdness court it in a shape of 
 
 heaven ; 
 So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd. 
 Will sate itself in a celestial bed, 
 And prey on garbage.. 
 But soft! methinks, I scent the morning's 
 
 air : 
 Brief let me be : — Sleeping within mine or- 
 chard, 
 My custom always in the afternoon. 
 Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole, 
 With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial. 
 And in the porches of mine ears did pour 
 The leperous distilment ; whose effect 
 Holds such an enmity with blood of man, 
 
SPEECH.

 SPIRIT. 
 
 That, swift as quicksilver, it courses through 
 The natural gates and alleys of the body ; 
 And, -with a sudden vigour, it doth posset 
 And curd, like eager droppings into milk, 
 The thin and wholesome blood : so did it 
 
 mine ; 
 And a most instant tetter bark'd about. 
 Most lazar-Iike, with vile and loathsome 
 
 crust. 
 All my smooth body. 
 
 Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand, 
 Of life, of crown, and queen, at once de- 
 spatched ; 
 Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin, 
 Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd ; 
 No reckoning made, but sent to my account 
 With all my imperfections on my head : 
 0, horrible ! 0, horrible ! most horrible ! 
 If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not; 
 Let not the royal bed of Denmark be 
 A couch for luxury and damned incest. 
 But, howsoever thou pursu'st this act, 
 Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul con- 
 trive 
 Against thy mother aught; leave her to 
 
 heaven, 
 And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge. 
 To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at 
 
 once ! 
 The glow worm shows the matin to be near. 
 And 'gins to pale his unefiFectual fire : 
 Adieu, adieu, Hamlet! remember me.

 To come ashore. Therefore, you men of

 Take pity of your town, and of your peo-

 Whiles yet my soldiers are in my com-

 Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of

 O'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds 
 
 Of deadly murder, spoil, and villany. 
 
 If not, why, in a moment, look to see 
 
 The blind and bloody soldier with foul

 Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking 
 daughters ; 
 
 Your fathers taken by the silver beards, 
 
 And their most reverend heads dash'd to 
 the walls ; 
 
 Your naked infants spitted upon pikes ; 
 
 Whiles the mad mothers Avith their howls

 But such officers do the king best service

 to be last swallowed : when he needs what

 When I am sure you hate me with your

 You both are rivals, and love Hermia; 
 
 And now both rivals, to mock Helena : 
 
 A trim exploit, a manly enterprise, 
 
 To conjure tears up in a poor maid's eyes

 STAGE.— All the World a. 
 
 ,Taq. All the world 's a stage, 
 
 And all the men and women merely play-

 They have their exits, and their entrances ; 
 And one man in his time plays many parts, — 
 His acts being seven ages. At first, the in- 
 fant, 
 Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms : 
 Then the whining schoolboy, with his 
 
 satchel. 
 And shining morning face, creeping like 
 
 snail 
 Unwillingly to school : and then the lover, 
 Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad 
 Made to his mistress' eyebrow : Then a sol- 
 dier, 
 Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the 
 
 pard, 
 Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in 
 
 quarrel, 
 Seeking tlie bubble Reputation 
 Even 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 : Tlie 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 toward childish treble, pipes 
 And whistles in his sound : Last scene of 
 
 all, 
 That ends this strange eventful history, 
 Is second childishness, and mere oblivion ; 
 Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans — 
 
 everything.

 To suck the sweets of sweet philosophy. 
 Only, good master, while we do admire 
 This virtue, and this moral discipline, 
 Let's be no stoics, nor no stocks, I pray; 
 Or so devote to Aristotle's checks, 
 As Ovid be an outcast quite abjur'd : 
 Balk logic with acquaintance that you 
 
 have. 
 And practise rhetoric in your common talk : 
 Music and poesy use to quicken you ; 
 The mathematics, and the metaphysics. 
 Fall to them as you find your stomach 
 
 serves ; 
 No profit grows where is no pleasure ta'en ; 
 In brief, sir, study what you most affect. 
 
 T. 8.,1: 1. 455. 
 
 — Stops that Hinder it. 
 Biron. Come on, then ; I will swear to 
 study so, 
 To know the thing I am forbid to know : 
 As thus, — to study wliere I well may dine, 
 When I to feast expressly am forbid ; 
 
 Or study where to meet some mistress fine. 
 When mistresses from common sense 
 are hid ; 
 Or, having sworn too hard-a-keeping oath, 
 Study to break it, and not break my troth. 
 If study's gain be thus, and this be so, 
 Study knows that which yet it doth not 
 
 know : 
 Swear me to this, and I will ne'er say no. 
 King. These be the stops that hinder 
 study quite, 
 And train our intellects to vain delight. 
 Biron. Why, all delights are vain ; but 
 that most vain. 
 Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit 
 
 pain : 
 As, painfully to pore upon a book 
 
 To seek the light of truth : while truth 
 
 the while 
 
 Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look : 
 
 Light, seeking light, doth light of light 
 
 beguile ; 
 
 So, ere you find where light in darkness lies. 
 
 Your light grows dark by losing of your 
 
 eyes. 
 Study me how to please the eye indeed. 
 
 By fixing it upon a fairer eye ; 
 Who dazzling so, that eye shall be his heed. 
 And give him light that it was blinded 
 
 by. 
 Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, 
 
 That will not be deep-searched with 
 saucy looks : 
 Small have continual plodders ever won. 
 
 Save base authority from others' books. 
 These earthly godfathers of heaven's lights, 
 
 That give a name to every fixed star, 
 Have no more profit of their shining nights 
 Than those that walk, and wot not what 
 they are. 
 Too much to know, is to know nought but 
 
 fame ; 
 And every godfather can give a name. 
 King. How well he's read, to reason 
 
 against reading !

 Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me. 
 Pet. I say it is the moon.

 But sun it is not, when you say it is not ;

 Good morrow, gentle mistress : Where

 Tell me, sweet Kate, and tell me truly too. 
 Hast thou beheld a fresher gentlewoman? 
 Such war of white and red within her

 What stars do spangle heaven with such 
 
 beauty, 
 As those two eyes become that heavenly 
 
 face? 
 Fair lovely maid, once more good day to

 Sweet Kate, embrace her for her beauty's

 Whither away? or where is thy abode? 
 Happy the parents of so fair a child ; 
 Happier the man, whom favorable stars 
 Allot thee for his lovely bedfellow ! 
 
 Pet. Why, how now Kate ! I hope thou 
 
 art not mad : 
 This is a man, old, wrinkled, faded, with-

 And not a maiden, as thou say'st he is. 
 Kath. Pardon, old father, my mistaking

 Pardon, I pray thee, for my mad mistak-

 I shall have glory by this losing day, 
 More than Octavius, and Mark Antony,

 So, fare you well at once ; for Brutus'

 — Things better than. 
 
 Tago. It is merely a lust of the blood, 
 and a permission of the will. Come, be a 
 man ; Drown tlij'self? drown cats, and blind 
 puppies. I have professed me thy friend, 
 and I confess me knit to thy deserving with 
 cables of perdurable toughness ; I could 
 never better stead thee than now. Put 
 money in tliy purse ; follow tliese wars ; de- 
 feat thy favour with an usurped beard; I 
 say, put money in thy purse. It cannot be, 
 that Desdemona should long continue her 
 love to the Moor, — put money in thy 
 purse ; — nor he las to her : it was a violent 
 commencement, and thou shalt see an an- 
 swerable sequestration; — put but money 
 in thy purse. — These Moors are change- 
 
 able in their wills; — fill thy purse with 
 money : tiie food that to him now is as 
 luscious as locusts, shall be to him shortly 
 as bitter as coloquintida. She must change 
 for youth : wlien she is sated with his body, 
 she will find the error of her choice. She 
 must have change, she must : therefore put 
 money in thy purse. If thou wilt needs 
 damn thyself, do it a more delicate way 
 than drowning. Make all the money thou 
 canst : If sanctimony and a frail vow, be- 
 twixt an erring barbarian and a supersubtle 
 Venetian, be not too hard for my wits, and 
 all the tribe of hell, thou shalt enjoy her; 
 therefore make money. A pox of drowning 
 thyself! it is clean out of the way: seek 
 thou rather to be hanged in compassing thy 
 joy, than to be drowned and go without 
 her.

 Or feed on nourishing dishes, or keep you

 Or sue to you to do peculiar profit 
 To your own person : Nay, when I have a

 Wherein I mean to touch your love indeed. 
 It shall be full of poize and difliculty, 
 And fearful to be granted.

 To leave me but a little to myself.

 SUITORS. — Variety in. 
 
 For. I pray thee, overname them ; and 
 as thou naniest them, I will describe them; 
 and according to my description, level at 
 my affection. 
 
 Ner. First, there is the Neapolitan 
 prince. 
 
 For. Ay, that 's a colt, indeed, for he 
 doth nothing but talk of iiis horse ; and he 
 makes it a great appropriation to his own 
 good parts that he can slioe him himself. 
 * * 
 
 Aer. Then is there the county Palatine. 
 
 For. He doth nothing but - frown ; as 
 who should say, "An you will not have 
 me, choose." He hears merry tales, and 
 smiles not: I fear he will prove the weep- 
 ing pliilosopher when he grows old, being 
 so full of unmannerly sadness in his youth. 
 I had rather to be married to a death's head

 with a bone in his moutli, than to either of 
 these. God defend rae from these two ! 
 
 Ner. How say you by the French lord, 
 monsieur le Bon? 
 
 For. God made him, and therefore let 
 him pass for a man. In truth, I know it is 
 a sin to be a mocker. But he ! why, he 
 hath a horse better than the Neapolitan's ; a 
 better bad habit of frowning than the count 
 Palatine : he is every man in no man : if a 
 throstle sing, he falls straight a cap 'ring; 
 he will fence with his own shadow. If I 
 should marry him I should marry twenty 
 husbands : If he would despise me I would 
 forgive him ; for if he love me to madness I 
 shall never requite him. 
 
 Ner. What say you then to Faulcon- 
 bridge, the young baron of England? 
 
 For. You know I say nothing to him ; 
 for he understands not me, nor I him : he 
 hath neither Latin, French, nor Italian; 
 and you will come into the court and swear 
 that I have a poor pennyworth in the En- 
 glish. He is a proper man's picture. But, 
 alas ! who can converse with a dumb show? 
 How oddly lie is suited ! I think he bought 
 his doublet in Italy, his round hose in 
 France, his bonnet in Germany, and his be- 
 haviour everywhere. 
 
 Ner. What think you of the Scottish 
 lord, his neighbour? 
 
 For. That he hath a neighbourly charity 
 in him ; for he borrowed a box of the ear of 
 the Englishman, and swore he would pay 
 him again when he was able. I think the 
 Frenchman became his surety, and sealed 
 under for another. 
 
 Ner. How like you the young German, 
 the duke of Saxony's nephew! 
 
 For. "Very vilely in the morning, when 
 he is sober ; and most vilely in the after- 
 noon, when he is drunk : when he is best, 
 he is a little worse than a man ; and when 
 lie is worst, he is little better than a beast. 
 An the worst fall that ever fell, I hope I 
 shall make shift to go without him.

 Anticipating time with starting courage. 
 Give with thy trumpet a loud note to Troy,

 May pierce the head of the great combatant, 
 And hale him hither. 
 
 Ajax. Thou, trumpet, there 's my purse. 
 Now crack thy lungs, and split thy brazen 
 pipe: 
 
 Blow, villain, till thy sphered bias cheek 
 Out-swell the cholic of puflTd Aquilon : 
 Come, stretch thy chest, and let thy eyes

 With mine own hands I give away my crown. 
 With mine own tongue deny my sacred state. 
 With mine own breath release all duteous

 God pardon all oaths, that are broke to me !

 Because some tell me, that thou art a king. 
 Blunt. They tell thee true.

 Thy likeness ; for, instead of thee, king 
 
 Harry, 
 This sword hath ended him : so shall it thee,

 Fill. I peseech j-ou heartily, scurvy, 
 lousy knave, at my desires, and my requests, 
 and my petitions, to eat, look you, this leek ; 
 because, look you, you do not love it, nor 
 your affections, and your appetites, and 
 your digestions, does not agree with it, I 
 would desire you to eat it. 
 
 Pist. Not for Cadwallader, and all his 
 goats. 
 
 Flu. There is one goat for you. Will 
 you be so goot, scald knave, as eat it? 
 
 Pist. Base Trojan, thou shalt die. 
 
 Flu. You say very true, scald knave, 
 when Got's will is : I will desire you to live 
 in the mean time, and eat your victuals ; 
 come, there is sauce for it. You called me 
 yesterday, mountain - squire ; but I will 
 make you to-day a squire of low degree. I 
 pray you, fall to : if you can mock a leek, 
 you can eat a leek. 
 
 Oow. Enough, captain; you have as- 
 tonish'd him. 
 
 Flu. I say, I will make him eat some 
 part of my leek, or I will peat his pate four 
 days : — Pite, I pray you ; it is goot for 
 your green wound, and your ploody cox- 
 comb. 
 
 Pist. Must I bite? 
 
 Flu. Yes, certainly ; and out of doubt, 
 and out of questions too, and ambiguities. 
 
 Pist. By this leek, I M'ill most horribly 
 revenge; I eat, and eke I swear — 
 
 Flu. Eat, I pray you : Will you have 
 some more sauce to your leek? there is not 
 enough leek to swear by. 
 
 Pist. Quiet thy cudgel ; thou dost see, 
 I eat.

 The surge most swoln that met him; his 
 
 bold head 
 'Bove the contentious waves he kept, and 
 
 oar'd 
 Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke 
 To the shore, that o'er his wave-worn basis 
 
 bowed. 
 As stooping to relieve him ; I not doubt, 
 He came alive to land.

 Most provident in peril, bind himself 
 (Courage and hope both teaching him the

 Subdues and properties to his love and

 All sorts of hearts ; yea, from the glass-

 When every thing is ended, then you come : 
 
 These tardy tricks of yours will, on my life, 
 
 One time or other break some gallows' back. 
 
 Fal. I would be sorry, my lord, but it 
 should be thus ; I never knew yet, but re- 
 buke and check was the reward of valour. 
 Do you think me a swallow, an arrow, or a 
 bullet? have I, in my poor and old motion, 
 the expedition of thought? I have speeded 
 hitlier with the very extremest inch of pos- 
 sibility ; I have foundered nine-score and 
 odd posts : and here, travel-tainted as I am, 
 have, in my pure and immaculate valour, 
 taken sir John Colevile of the dale, a most 
 furious knight, and valourous enemy : But 
 what of that? he saw me, and yielded; that 
 I may justly say with the hook-nosed fellow

 sists of ancients, corporals, lieutenants, gen- 
 tlemen of companies, slaves as ragged as 
 Lazarus in the painted cloth, where the 
 glutton's dogs licked his sores : and such as, 
 indeed, were never soldiers ; but discarded 
 unjust serving men, younger sons to young- 
 er brothers, revolted tapsters, and ostlers 
 trade-fallen ; the cankers of a calm world, 
 and a long peace ; ten times more dishon- 
 ourable ragged than an old faced ancient : 
 and such have I, to fill up the rooms of them 
 that have bought out their services, that 
 you would think, that I had a hundred 
 and fifty tattered prodigals, lately come 
 
 from swine-keeping, from eating draff and 
 husks. A mad fellow met me on the way, 
 and told me, I had unloaded all the gibbets, 
 and pressed the dead bodies. No eye hath 
 seen such scare-crows. I '11 not march 
 through Coventry with them, that 's flat : — 
 Nay, and the villains march wide betwixt 
 the legs, as if they had gyves on; for, in- 
 deed, I had the most of them out of prison. 
 There 's but a shirt and a half in all my 
 company : and the half shirt is two napkins, 
 tacked together, and thrown over the shoul- 
 ders like a herald's coat without sleeves; 
 and the shirt, to say the trutli, stolen from 
 my host at Saint Albans, or the red-nose 
 inkeeper of Daintry. But that 's all one ; 
 they '11 find linen enough on every hedge.

 The flattering index of a direful pageant. 
 One heav'd a high, to be liurl'd down below : 
 A mother only mock'd with two fair babes ; 
 A dream of what thou wast; a garish flag. 
 To be the aim of every dangerous shot ; 
 A sign of dignity, a breath, a bubble ; 
 A queen in jest, only to fill the scene.

 Where be thy two sons? wherein dost thou

 Where be the thronging troops that follow 'd

 Decline all this, and see what now thou art. 
 For happy wife, a most distressed widow ; 
 For joyful mother, one that wails the name : 
 For one being sued to, one that humbly 
 
 sues ! 
 For queen, a very caitiff crown'd with care : 
 For one that scorn'd at me, now scorn'd of

 For one being fear'd of all, now fearing one ; 
 For one commanding all, obey'd of none.

 The sea 's a thief, whose liquid surge re-

 Ros. Marry, he trots hard with a young 
 maid, between the contract of her marriage 
 and the day it is soleniniz'd : if the interim 
 
 be but a se'nnight, Time's pace is so hard 
 that it seems the length of seven year. 
 
 Orl. Who ambles Time withal? 
 
 Ros. "With a priest that lacks Latin, and 
 a rich man that hath not the gout : for the 
 one sleeps easily, because he cannot study ; 
 the other lives merrily, because he feels no 
 pain : the one lacking the burthen of lean 
 and wasteful learning; the other knowing 
 no burthen of heavy tedious penury : These 
 Time ambles withal. 
 
 Orl. Who doth he gallop withal? 
 
 Ros. With a thief to the gallows : for 
 though he go as softly as foot can fall, he 
 thinks himself too soon there. 
 
 Orl. Who stays it still withal? 
 
 Ros. With lawyers in the vacation : for 
 they sleep between term and terra, and then 
 they perceive not how time moves.

 And there die strangled ere my Romeo

 Or, if I live, is it not very like, 
 The horrible conceit of death and night. 
 Together with the terror of the place, — 
 As in a vault, an ancient receptacle, 
 Where, for these many hundred years, the 
 
 bones 
 Of all my buried ancestors are pack'd ; 
 Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in

 Lies fest'ring in his shroud ; where, as they 
 
 say, 
 At some hours in the night spirits resort; — 
 Alack, alack ! is it not like, that I, 
 So early waking, — what with loathsome 
 
 smells ; 
 And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the 
 
 earth. 
 That living mortals hearing them, run mad ; 
 O ! If I wake, shall I not be distraught, 
 Environed with all these hideous fears? 
 And madly play with my forefathers' joints? 
 And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his 
 
 shroud? 
 And, in this rage, with some great kins-

 As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?

 Fan. He wonder 'd that your lordship 
 Would suffer him to spend his youth at 
 
 home ; 
 While other men, of slender reputation, 
 Put forth their sons to seek perferment out : 
 Some, to the wars, to try their fortune 
 
 there ; 
 Some, to discover islands far away; 
 Some, to the studious universities. 
 For any, or for all these exercises, 
 He said that Proteus, your son, was meet: 
 And did request me to importune you, 
 To let him spend his time no more at home. 
 Which would be great impeachment to his 
 
 age. 
 In having known no travel in his youth.

 Do botch and bungle up damnation 
 With patches, colours, and with forms be-

 But he, that temper'd thee, bade thee stand

 Gave thee no instance why thou should'st

 Unless to dub thee with the name of traitor. 
 If that same daemon that hath gull'd thee

 Upon the naked shore at Ravenspurg ; 
 And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform 
 Some certain edicts, and some strait decrees, 
 Tliatlietoo heavy on the commonwealth: 
 Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep 
 Over his country's wrongs : and, by this face, 
 This seeming brow of justice, did he win 
 The heart of all that he did angle for. 
 Proceeded further ; cut me off the heads 
 Of all the favourites, that the absent king 
 In deputation left behmd him here. 
 When he was personal in the Irish war. 
 My father gave him welcome to the shore : 
 And, — when he heard him swear, and vow 
 
 to God, 
 He came but to be duke of Lancaster, 
 To sue his livery, and beg his peace ; 
 With tears of innocency, and terms of zeal. 
 My father, in kind heart and pity mov'd. 
 
 Swore him assistance, and perform'd it too. 
 Now, when the lords, and barons of the 
 
 realm, 
 Perceiv'd Northumberland did lean to him. 
 The more and less came in with cap and 
 
 knee; 
 Met him in boroughs, cities, villages ; 
 Attended him on bridges, stood in lanes. 
 Laid gifts before him, proflFer'd him their 
 
 oaths, 
 Gave him their heirs ; as pages follow'd him. 
 Even at the heels, in golden multitudes. 
 He presently, — as greatness knows itself, — 
 Steps me a little higher than his vow 
 Made to my father, while his blood was poor 
 Disgrac'd me in my happy victories ; 
 Sought to entrap me by intelligence ; 
 Rated my uncle from the council-board ; 
 In rage dismiss'd my father from the court; 
 Broke oath on oath, committed wrong on 
 
 wrong : 
 And, in conclusion, drove us to seek out 
 This head of safety ; and, withal to pry 
 Into his title, the which we find 
 Too indirect for long continuance.

 By what by-paths, and indirect crook 'd ways,

 How troublesome it sat upon my head : 
 To thee it shall descend with better quiet. 
 Better opinion, better confirmation ; 
 For all the soil of the achievement goes 
 With me into the earth. It seem'd in me, 
 But as an honour snatch'd with boisterous 
 
 hand ; 
 And I had many living, to upbraid 
 My gain of it by their assistances ; 
 Which daily grew to quarrel, and to blood- 
 shed, 
 Wounding supposed peace : all these bold 
 
 fears. 
 Thou see'st, with peril I have answered : 
 For all my reign hath been but as a scene 
 Acting that argument ; and now my death 
 Changes the mode : for what in me was pur- 
 
 chas'd 
 Falls upon thee in a more fairer sort; 
 So thou the garland wear'st successively.

 I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear

 He hates our sacred nation ; and he rails, 
 Even there where merchants most do con-

 This royal hand and mine are newly knit, 
 And the conjunction of our inward souls 
 Married in league, coupled and link'd to- 
 gether 
 With all religious strength of sacred vows ; 
 The latest breath that gave the sound of 
 
 words 
 Was deep-sworn faith, peace, amity, true 
 
 love. 
 Between our kingdoms, and our royal 
 
 selves ; 
 And even before this truce, but new before, 
 No longer than we well could wash our 
 
 hands. 
 
 To clap this royal bargain up of peace, 
 
 Heaven knows, they were besmear'd and 
 
 over-stain'd 
 With slaughter's pencil ! where revenge did 
 
 paint 
 The fearful difference of incensed kings ; 
 And shall these hands, so lately purg'd of 
 
 blood. 
 So newly join'd in love, so strong in both. 
 Unyoke this seizure, and this kind regreet 
 Play fast and loose with faith? so jest with 
 
 heaven 
 Make such unconstant children of ourselves. 
 As now again to snatch our palm from palm ; 
 Unswear faith sworn ; and on the marriage 
 
 bed 
 Of smiling peace to march a bloody host. 
 And make a riot on the gentle brow 
 Of true sincerity? O holy sir, 
 My reverend father, let it not be so : 
 Out of your grace, devise, ordain, impose 
 Some gentle order ; and then we shall be 
 
 bless'd 
 To do your pleasure, and continue friends.

 And, in the very pangs of death, he cried, — 
 Like to a dismal clangor heard from far, — 
 "Warwick, revenge! brother, revenge my

 So underneath the belly of their steeds. 
 That stained their fetlocks in his smoking

 Here on my knee I vow to God above, 
 I'll never pause again, ncA'er stand still, 
 Till either death hath clos'd these eyes of 
 
 mine, 
 Or fortune given me measure of revenge. 
 Edw. O Warw^ick, I do bend my knee

 And, in this vow, do chain my soul to thine. 
 And, ere my knee rise from the earth's 
 
 cold face, 
 I throw my hands, mine eyes, my heart to 
 
 Thee, 
 Thou setter up and plucker down of kings ! 
 Beseeching Thee, — if with Thy will it 
 
 stands, 
 That to my foes this body must be prey, — 
 Yet that Thy brazen gates of heaven may

 ships are but boards, sailors but men : tliere

 Salar. My wind, cooling my broth, 
 
 Would blow me to an ague, Avhen I thought 
 What harm a wind too great might do at sea. 
 I should not see the sandy hour-glass run, 
 But I should think of shallows and of flats, 
 And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand, 
 Vailing her high-top lower than her ribs, 
 To kiss her burial. Should I go to church. 
 And see the holy edifice of stone, 
 And not bethink me straight of dangerous 
 
 rocks. 
 Which, touching but my gentle vessel's side. 
 Would scatter all her spices on the stream ; 
 Enrobe the roaring waters with my sillcs ; 
 And, in a word, but even now worth this, 
 And now worth nothing? Shall I have the 
 
 thought 
 To think on this, and shall I lack the thought 
 That such a thing, bechanc'd, would make 
 
 me sad? 
 But tell not me ; I know Antonio 
 Is sad, to tliink upon his merchandise. 
 Ant. Believe me, no : I thank my fort- 
 une for it. 
 My ventures are not in one bottom trusted, 
 Nor to one place ; nor is my whole estate 
 Upon the fortune of this present year : 
 Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad. 
 Salar. Why, then you are in love. 
 Ant. Fie, fie !

 that lived in purple ; for tliere he is in his

 Avay given to virtue, I would swear by thy

 thou art altogether given over; andwertin- 
 deed, but for the light in thy face, the son 
 of utter darkness. When thou ran'st up 
 Gads-hill in the night to catch my horse, if 
 I did not think thou hadst been an ignis fat- 
 uiis, or a ball of M'ildfire, there 's no pur- 
 chase in money. 0, thou art a perpetual 
 triumph, an everlasting bonfire-light! 
 Thou hast saved me a thousand marks in 
 links and torches, walking with thee in the 
 night betwixt tavern and tavern : but the 
 
 sack that thou hast drunk me, would have 
 bought me lights as good cheap, at the 
 dearest chandler's in Europe. I have main-

 Look by and by to have thy sons with 
 
 thee : — 
 Their heads, I mean. — O, how this vil-

 Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it ! 
 Let fools do good, and fair men call for

 — Wordy, not popular. 
 
 Buck. * * Withal, I did infer your 
 
 lineaments, — 
 Being the right idea of your father, 
 Both in your form and nobleness of mind : 
 Laid open all your victories in Scotland, 
 Your discipline in war, wisdom in peace, 
 Your bounty, virtue, fair humility ; 
 Indeed, left nothing, fitting for your pur- 
 pose, 
 Untouch'd, or slightly handled, in discourse. 
 And, Avhen my oratory grew to an end, 
 I bade them, that did love their country's 
 
 good. 
 Cry — " God save Richard, England's royal 
 
 king ! " 
 Olo. And did they so ? 
 Buck. No, so God help me, they spake 
 
 not a word ; 
 But, like dumb statues, or breathless stones, 
 Star'd on each other, and look'd deadly pale. 
 Which when I saw, I reprehended them ; 
 And ask'd the mayor, what meant thisAvilful 
 
 silence : 
 His answer was, — the people were not us'd 
 To be spoke to, but by the recorder. 
 Then he was urg'd to tell my tale again ; — 
 "Thus said the duke, thus hath the duke 
 
 inferr'd; " 
 But nothing spoke in warrant from himself. 
 When he had done, some followers of mine 
 
 own, 
 At lower end o' the hall, hurl'd up their caps. 
 And some ten voices cried, " God save king 
 
 Richard! " 
 And thus I took the vantage of those few, 
 "Thanks, gentle citizens, and friends," 
 
 quoth I ; 
 " This general applause, and cheerful shout, 
 Argues your Avisdom, and your love to 
 
 Richard : " 
 And even here brake off, and came aAvay. 
 Glo. What tongueless blocks Avere they ! 
 
 Would they not speak ?

 Q. Mar. * * 
 What ! was it you, that would be England's 
 
 king? 
 Was 't you that revell'd in our parlia- 
 ment, 
 And made a preachment of your high de- 
 scent? 
 Where are your mess of sons to back you 
 
 now? 
 The wanton Edward, and the lusty George? 
 And where 's that valiant crook-back prod- 
 igy, 
 Dicky your boy, that, with his grumbling 
 
 Yoice, 
 Was wont to cheer his dad in mutinies? 
 Or, with the rest, where is your darling 
 
 Eutland? 
 Look, York ; I stain'd.this napkin with the 
 
 blood 
 That valiant Clifford, with his rapier's 
 
 point, 
 Made issue from the bosom of the boy : 
 And, if thine eyes can water for his death, 
 I give thee this to dry thy cheeks withal. 
 Alas, poor York! but that I hate thee 
 
 deadly, 
 I should lament thy miserable state. 
 I pr'ythee, grieve, to make me merry, 
 
 York; 
 Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and 
 
 dance. 
 What, hath thy fiery heart so parch'd thine 
 
 entrails. 
 That not a tear can fall for Rutland's death? 
 Why art thou patient, then? thou should'st 
 
 be mad ; 
 And I, to make thee mad, do mock thee 
 
 thus. 
 Thou would'st be fee'd, I see, to make me 
 
 sport ; 
 York cannot speak, unless he wear a 
 
 crown. 
 A crown for York; — and, lords, bow low 
 
 to him. 
 Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on. 
 Ay, marry, sir, now looks he like a king ! 
 Ay, this is he that took king Henry's chair ; 
 And this is he was his adopted heir. — 
 But how is it that great Plantagenet 
 Is crown'd so soon, and broke his solemn 
 
 oath? 
 
 As I bethink me, you should not be king, 
 Till our king Henry had shook hands with 
 
 death. 
 And will you pale your head in Henry's 
 
 glory, 
 And rob his temples of the diadem, 
 Now in his life, against your holy oath? 
 O, 't is a fault, too, too unpardonable ! — 
 Off with the crown ; and, with the crown, 
 
 his head ; 
 And, whilst we breathe, take time to do him 
 
 dead.

 VIRAGO.— A desperate. 
 
 • Bene. * * I would not marry her, 
 though she were endowed with all that 
 Adam had left him before he transgressed : 
 she would have made Hercules have turn'd 
 spit ; yea, and have cleft his club to make 
 the fire too. Come, talk not of her : you 
 shall find her the infernal Ate in good ap- 
 parel. I would to God some scholar would 
 conjure her ; for, certainly, while she is 
 here, a man may live as quiet in hell as in 
 a sanctuary.

 And yet no day without a deed to crown it. 
 'Would I had known no more ! but she 
 
 must die, 
 (She must, the saints must have her;) yet a 
 
 virgin, 
 A most unspotted lily shall she pass 
 To the ground, and all the world shall 
 
 mourn her.

 VIRGINITY.— Lacks Adaptation. 
 
 Par. * * Virginity, like an old court-

 Tor ever the society of men. 
 
 Therefore, fair Hermia, question your de- 
 sires. 
 
 Know of your youth, examine well your 
 blood. 
 
 Whether, if you yield not to your father's 
 choice, 
 
 You can endure the livery of a nun ; 
 
 For aye to be in shady cloister mew'd, 
 
 To live a barren sister all your life. 
 
 Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless 
 moon. 
 
 Thrice blessed they that master so their 
 blood, 
 
 To undergo such maiden pilgrimage : 
 
 But earthlier happy is the rose distill'd, 
 
 Than that which, withering on the virgin 
 thorn. 
 
 Grows, lives, and dies, in single blessedness.

 Count. This young gentlewoman had a 
 father, (O, that had! how sad a passage 't

 honesty ; had it stretch'd so far, would have 
 made nature immortal, and death should 
 have play for lack of work.

 Thou might'st be freed? 
 
 Claud. 0, heavens ! it cannot be. 
 
 Isah. Yes, he would give 't thee, from

 So to offend him still. This night 's the time

 Or else thou diest to-morrow.

 You must lay down the treasures of your

 What would you do? 
 
 Isah. As much for my poor brother as 
 
 myself: 
 That is, were I under the terms of death, 
 Th' impression of keen whips I 'd wear as 
 
 rubies, 
 And strip myself to death, as to a bed 
 That long I have been sick for, ere I 'd

 I am as woful as Virginius was : 
 And have a thousand times more cause than

 To do this outrage; — and it is now done. 
 Sat. What, was she ravish'd? tell, who

 Tit. Will 't please you eat? will 't please

 Tarn. Why hast thou slain thine only 
 
 daughter thus? 
 Tit. NotI; 'twas Chiron, and Demetrius : 
 They ravish'd her, and cut away her tongue. 
 And they, 't was they, that did her all this 
 wrong. 
 Sat. Go, fetch them hither to us pres- 
 ently. 
 Tit. Why, there they are both, baked in 
 that pie ; 
 Whereof their mother daintily hath fed. 
 Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. 
 'T is true, 'tis true; witness my knife's 
 sharp point.

 As if we had them not. Spirits are not fine-

 her. 
 Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cu-

 With diverse-colour'd fans, whose wind did 
 
 seem 
 To glow the delicate cheeks which they did 
 
 cool. 
 And what they undid, did. 
 * * From the barge 
 
 A strange invisible perfume hits the sense 
 Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast 
 Her people out upon her ; And Antony, 
 Enthron'd in the market-place, did sit alone, 
 Whistling to the air ; which, but for vacancy. 
 Had gone to gaze on Cleopatra too, 
 And made a gap in nature.

 vow 
 First made to heaven, first be to heaven 
 
 perform'd ; 
 That is, to be the champion of our church ! 
 What since thou swor'st, is sworn against 
 
 thyself, 
 And may not be performed by thyself: 
 For that, which thou hast sworn to do amiss. 
 Is not amiss when it is truly done ; 
 And being not done, where doing tends to 
 
 ill, 
 The truth is then most done not doing it; 
 The better act of purposes mistook 
 Is, to mistake again ; though indirect, 
 Yet indirection thereby grows direct. 
 And falsehood falsehood cures ; as fire cools 
 
 fire. 
 Within the scorched veins of one new 
 
 burn'd. 
 It is religion, that doth make vows kept ; 
 But thou hast sworn against religion ; 
 By what thou swear'st, against the thing 
 
 thou swear'st; 
 And mak'st an oath the surety for thy truth 
 Against an oath : The truth thou art unsure 
 To swear, swear only not to be forsworn ; 
 Else, what a mockery should it be to swear? 
 But thou dost swear only to be forsworn ; 
 And most forsworn, to keep what thou dost 
 
 swear.

 WALL. — A speaking. 
 
 Wall. In this same interlude, it doth befall, 
 That I, one Snout by name, present a wall : 
 And such a wall as I would have you think, 
 That had in it a cranny'd hole, or chink. 
 Through which the lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, 
 Did whisper often very secretly. 
 This loam, this rough-cast, and this stone doth show 
 That I am that same wall ; the truth is so : 
 And this the cranny is, right and sinister, 
 Through which the fearful lovers are to whisper.

 The bounteous housewife, nature, on each

 Lays her full mess before you. Want? why

 And three or four more of their growth,

 Like urchins, ouphes, and fairies, green and

 With rounds of waxen tapers on their heads,

 And ask him, why, that hour of fairy revel. 
 In their so sacred paths he dares to tread, 
 In shape profane.

 Let the supposed fairies pinch him sound.

 Into the air ; our eyes do weep, till lungs 
 Fetch breath that may proclaim them

 If heaven slumber, while tlieir creatures

 Blown with the windy tempest of my heart, 
 Upon thy wounds, that kill mine eye and

 Divided, in their dire division. —

 And let their heirs, (God, if thy will be so,) 
 Enrich the time to come with smooth-fac'd

 With smiling plenty, and fair prosperous

 Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, 
 That would reduce these bloody days again. 
 And make poor England weep in streams of

 Let them not live to taste this land's increase 
 That would with treason wound this fair

 What time the shepherd, blowing of his nails, 
 Can neither call it perfect day, nor 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 the fury of the wind; 
 Sometime, 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 poise of this fell M^ar. 
 Here on this molehill will I sit me down. 
 To whom God will, there be the victory.

 With that same weak wind which enkindled

 You taught me how to know the face of

 Acquainted me with interest to this land, 
 
 Yea, thrust this enterprise into my heart ; 
 And come you now to tell me, John hath 
 
 made 
 His peace with Rome? What is that peace

 I, by the honour of my marriage-bed. 
 After young Arthur, claim this land for 
 
 mine; 
 And, now it is half-conquer'd, must I back, 
 Because that John hath made his peace with 
 
 Rome? 
 Am I Rome's slave? What penny hath 
 
 Rome borne. 
 What men provided, what munition sent, 
 To underprop this action? is 't not I,

 And such as to my claim are liable,

 Dogb. Why, then take no note of him, 
 but let him go ; and presently call the rest 
 of the watch together, and thank God you 
 are rid of a knave. 
 
 Verg. If he will not stand when he is 
 bidden, he is none of the prince's subjects. 
 
 Dogh. True, and they are to meddle 
 with none but the prince's subjects : — You 
 shall also make no noise in the streets ; for, 
 for the watch to babble and talk, is most 
 tolerable and not to be endured. 
 
 2 Watch. We will rather sleep than talk ; 
 we know what belongs to a watch. 
 
 Dogh. Why, you speak like an ancient 
 and most quiet watchman ; for I cannot see 
 how sleeping should offend : only have a 
 care that your bills be not stol'n : — Well, 
 you are to call at all the ale-houses, and bid 
 them that are drunk get them to bed. 
 
 2 Watch. How if they will not? 
 
 Dogb. Why, then let them alone till 
 they are sober; if they make you not then 
 the better answer, you may say they are not 
 the men j'ou took them for. 
 
 2 Watch. Well, sir. 
 
 Dogb. If you meet a thief, you may sus- 
 pect him, by virtue of your office, to be no 
 true man ; and, for such kind of men, the 
 less you meddle or make with them, why, 
 the more is for your honesty.

 Dogh. Truly, by your office, you may ; 
 but I think they that touch pitch will be 
 defil'd : the most peaceable way for you, it 
 you do take a thief, is to let him show him- 
 self what he is, and steal out of your com- 
 pany.

 Dogb. Truly, I would not hang a dog

 any honesty in him. 
 
 Verg. If you hear a child cry in the 
 night, you must call to the nurse, and bid 
 her still it.

 and will not hear us? 
 
 Dogb. Why, then depart in peace, and 
 let the cliild wake her with crying : for the 
 ewe that will not hear her lamb when it 
 baes, will never answer a calf when it bleats. 
 
 Verg. 'T is very true.

 — Relation to her Husband. 
 
 Kath. * * 
 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 labour, both by sea and land : 
 To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, 
 While thou li'st warm at home, secure and 
 
 safe ; 
 And craves no other tribute at thy hands. 
 But love, fair looks, and true obedience, — 
 Too little payment for so great a debt. 
 Such duty as the subject owes the prince, 
 Even such a woman oweth to her husband : 
 And when she is froward, peevish, sullen, 
 
 sour, 
 And not obedient to his honest will. 
 What is she, but a foul contending rebel, 
 And graceless traitor to her loving lord? 
 I am asham'd, that women are so simple 
 To offer war, when they should kneel for 
 
 peace ; 
 Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway. 
 When they are bound to serve, love and obey. 
 Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and 
 
 smooth, 
 Unapt to toil, and trouble in the world. 
 But that our soft conditions, and our hearts. 
 Should well agree with our external parts? 
 Come, come, you froward and unable worms ! 
 My mind hath been as big as one of yours. 
 My heart as great ; my reason, haply, more, 
 To bandy word for word, and frown for 
 
 frown ; 
 But now, I see our lances are but straws : 
 Our strength as weak, our weakness past 
 
 compare, — 
 That seeming to be most, which we indeed 
 
 least are. 
 Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot, 
 And place your hands below your husband's 
 
 foot; 
 In token of which duty, if he please, 
 My hand is ready, may it do him ease.

 A buzzing, of a separation 
 Between the king and Katharine? 
 
 1 Gent. Yes, but it held not ; 
 For when the king once heard it, out of 
 
 anger 
 He sent command to the lord mayor, straight 
 To stop the rumour, and allay those tongues 
 That durst disperse it. 
 
 2 Gent. But that slander, sir, 
 Is found a truth now : for it grows again 
 Freslier than e'er it was ; and held for cer- 
 tain, 
 
 The king will venture at it. Either the car- 
 dinal. 
 
 Or some about him near, have, out of

 tliere are members to make new. If there 
 were no more women but Fulvia, then had 
 you indeetl a cut, and the case to be lament-

 Bur. They are then excused, my lord, 
 when they see not what they do. 
 
 K. Hen. Then, good my lord, teach your 
 cousin to consent to winking. 
 
 Bur. I will wink on her to consent, my 
 lord, if you will teach her to know my 
 meaning.

 WINTER.— Mid, its Signs. 
 
 Arm. * * 
 
 When icicles hang lay the wall, 
 
 And Dick the shepherd hlows his nail, 
 And Tom hears logs into the hall, 
 
 And milk comes frozen home in pail, 
 When blood is nipp'd, and ways be foul, 
 Then nightly sings the staring owl, 
 
 To-who ; 
 Tu-whit, to-who, a merry note, 
 While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. 
 
 When all aloud the wind doth blow, 
 And coughing drowns the parson's saw. 
 
 And birds sit brooding in the snow, 
 And Marian's nose looks red and raw; 
 
 When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl, 
 
 Then nightly sings the staring owl, 
 To-who; 
 
 Tii-whit, to-who, a merry note. 
 
 While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

 ■WISDOM.- Begotten by Antiquity. 
 
 Ulyss. Instructed by the antiquary times ; 
 He must, he is, he cannot but be wise. 
 
 T. C, II: 3. 1118.

 Ulyss. * * J -^yfj nQ^ praise thy wis-

 Which, like a bourn, a pale, a shore, con- 
 fines 
 Thy spacious and dilated parts. 
 
 T. Cn-.Z. 1118. 
 
 — Disguised, the brightest. 
 
 Ang. Thus wisdom wishes to appear 
 most bright, 
 When it does tax itself: as these black 
 
 masks 
 Proclaim an enshield beauty ten times 
 
 louder 
 Than beauty could, displayed. 
 
 M. If., II : 4. 155. 
 
 WISH. — A dubious one. 
 
 lago. He is that he is : I may not breathe 
 my censure. 
 What he might be, — if, what he might, he 
 
 is not, — 
 I would to heaven, he were. 
 
 0., IV : 1. 1521.

 Glend. * * His cheek looks pale ; and

 A rising sigh, he wisheth you in heaven. 
 Hot. And you in hell, as often as he

 The strong-wing'd Mercury should fetch

 WIT. 
 
 WISHES.— Good, well Expressed. 
 Count. Be thou blest, Bertram ! and 
 
 succeed thy father 
 In manners, as in shape ! thy blood, and 
 
 Tirtue, 
 Contend for empire in thee ; and thy good- 
 ness 
 Share with thy birthright ! Love all, trust 
 
 a few, 
 Do wrong to none : be able for thine enemy 
 Rather in power than use ; and keep thy 
 
 friend 
 Under thy own life's key : be check'd for 
 
 silence, 
 But never tax'd for speech. What Heaven 
 
 more will, 
 That thee may furnish, and my prayers 
 
 pluck down, 
 
 Fall on thy head ! 
 
 A. W.,1: 1. 496. 
 
 WISHING.— Powerless. 
 
 Ilel. That wishing well had not a body 
 
 in 't. 
 Which might be felt : that we, the poorer 
 
 born, 
 Whose baser stars do shut us up in wishes. 
 Might with effects of them follow our friends. 
 And show what we alone must tliink ; wliich 
 
 never 
 
 Returns us thanks. 
 
 A. W.,1: 1.497. 
 
 WIT. — A foolish. 
 
 Clo. * * Those wits that think they 
 have thee do very oft prove fools ; and I, 
 that am sure I lack thee, may pass for a 
 wise man: For what says Quinapalus? 
 Better a witty fool than a foolish wit. 
 
 T. m, 1 : 5. 544. 
 
 — A voluble. 
 
 Ros. * * But a merrier man, 
 Within the limit of becoming mirth, 
 I never spent an hour's talk withal : 
 His eye begets occasion for his wit : 
 For every object that the one doth catch, 
 The other turns to a mirth-moving jest ; 
 Which his fair tongue (conceit's expositor) 
 Delivers in such apt and gracious words. 
 That aged ears play truant at his tales, 
 And younger hearings are quite ravished, 
 So sweet and voluble is his discourse. 
 
 Z.Z., II: 1. 277. 
 
 — Accommodating. 
 
 Mer. O, here 's a wit of cheverel, that 
 stretches from an inch narrow to an ell 
 broad ! 
 
 B. J., n : 4. 1255. 
 
 — Blunt. 
 
 Marg. And yours as blunt as the fencer's 
 foils, which hit, but hurt not. 
 
 M. A., V : 2. 253. 
 
 — Cause of in Others. 
 
 Fal. Men of all sorts take a pride to 
 gird at me : The brain of this foolish-com- 
 pounded clay, man, is not able to vent any 
 thing that tends to laughter, more than I 
 invent, or is invented on me : I am not 
 only witty in myself, but the cause that 
 wit is in other men. 
 
 iJ./F., lpt.,I; 2. 776. 
 
 — Good. 
 
 Clo. * * A sentence is but a cheveril 
 glove to a good wit. 
 
 T. jr., in : 1. 554. 
 
 — Ignorant. 
 Fri. * * 
 Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love. 
 Mis-shapen in the conduct of them both. 
 Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask, 
 Is set on fire by thine own ignorance. 
 And thou dismember'd with thine own de- 
 fence.

 That turn'd your wit the seamy side with-

 O., IV : 2. 1523. 
 
 — Lesser, Swallowed. 
 
 Biron. This jest is dry to me. Gentle 
 
 sweet. 
 Your wit makes wise things foolish ; when 
 
 we greet. 
 With eyes best seeing, heaven's fiery eye, 
 By light we lose liglit : Your capacity 
 Is of that nature, that to your huge store 
 Wise things seem foolish, and rich things 
 
 but poor.

 Prill. Good wits will be jangling; but,

 Bene. Thy wit is as quick as the grej'- 
 hound's mouth ; it catches. 
 
 M. A., V : 2. 253.

 it lies as coldly in him as fire in a flint,

 Seh. Look ; he 's winding up the watch 
 of his wit ; by and by it will strike. 
 
 T., 11 : 1. 15.

 Ther. Even so? — a great deal of your 
 wit too lies in your sinews, or else there be 
 liars. Hector shall have a great catch, if he 
 knock out either of your brains. 
 
 T. C, II : 1. 1113. 
 
 — True. 
 
 Arm. Now, by the salt wave of the 
 Mediterraneum, a sweet touch, a quick 
 veney of wit: snip, snap, quick, and home; 
 it rejoiceth my intellect : true wit. 
 
 L. L.,Y: 1. 292. 
 
 — Turned Fool, surely Caught. 
 Prin. None are so surely caught, when 
 they are catch'd. 
 As wit turn'd fool : folly, in wisdom hatch'd. 
 Hath wisdom's warrant, and the help of 
 
 school, 
 And wit's own grace to grace a learned fool. 
 
 Mar. Folly in fools bears not so strong 
 a note. 
 As fool'ry in the wise, when wit doth dote ; 
 Since all the power thereof it doth apply. 
 To prove, by wit, worth in simplicity. 
 
 L.L.,Y: 2.294. 
 
 — Women's Irrepressible. 
 
 Ros. Or else she could not have the wit 
 to do this : the wiser, the waywarder. 
 Make the doors iipon a woman's wit, and 
 it will out at the casement; shut that, and 
 't will out at the key-hole ; stop that, 't will 
 fly with the smoke out at the chimney.

 Uncle, my brother mocks both you and me ; 
 Because that I am little, like an ape. 
 He thinks that you should bear me on your

 To mitigate the scorn he gives his uncle, 
 He prettily and aptly taunts himself: 
 So cunning, and so young, is wonderful.

 WT:TCH.- Cruelty of a. 
 
 Pro. This blue-ey'd hag was hither 
 brought with child, 
 And here was left by the sailors : Thou, my 
 
 slave. 
 As thou report'st thyself, wast then her ser- 
 vant : 
 And, for thou wast a spirit too delicate 
 To act lier earthy and abborr'd commands, 
 Refusing her grand bests, she did confine 
 
 thee. 
 By help of her more potent ministers. 
 And in her most unmitigable rage. 
 Into a cloven pine ; within which rift 
 Imprison'd, thou didst painfully remain 
 A dozen years ; within which space she dy'd. 
 And left thee there ; where thou didst rent 
 
 thy groans. 
 As fast as mill-wheels strike. Then was 
 
 this island 
 (Save for tlie son that she did litter here, 
 A freckled whelp, hag-born) not honour'd 
 
 with 
 A human shape.

 Greater he shall not be ; if he serve God, 
 We '11 serve him too, and be his fellow so : 
 Revolt our subjects? that we cannot mend; 
 They break tlieir faitli to God, as well as us : 
 Cry, woe, destruction, ruin, loss, decay ; 
 The worst is death, and death will have his 
 
 day. 
 
 R. 11., Ill: 2. 701.

 K. Rich. So two, together weeping, make

 Weep thou for me in France, I for thee

 Better far off, than — near, be ne'er the

 Go, count thy way with sighs ; I, mine with

 Queen. So longest way shall have the

 K. Rich. Twice for one step I '11 groan,

 And piece the way out with a heavy heart. 
 
 Come, come, in wooing sorrow let 's be brief. 
 
 Since, wedding it, there is such length in

 Tit. Mark, Marcus, mark! I under-

 Had she a tongue to speak, now would she 
 
 say 
 That to her brother which I said to thee ; 
 His napkin, with his true tears all bewet. 
 Can do no service on her sorrowful cheeks. 
 Oh, what a sympathy of woe is this ! 
 As far from help as limbo is from bliss.

 This way to death my wretched sons are

 Here stands my other son, a banish'd man; 
 And here my brother, weeping at my woes ; 
 But that, which gives my soul the greatest 
 
 spurn. 
 Is dear Lavinia, dearer than my soul. — 
 Had I but seen thy picture in this plight, 
 It would have madded me : What shall I do 
 Now I behold thy lively body so? 
 Thou hast no hands, to wipe aAvay thy tears ; 
 Nor tongue, to tell me who hath martyr'd 
 
 thee : 
 
 Thy husband he is dead; and, for his death, 
 
 Thy brothers are condemned, and dead by 
 
 this.

 WOLSEY.— Griffith's Character of. 
 
 Grif. 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 persuad- 
 ing : 
 
 Lofty, and sour, to them thatlov'd him not; 
 
 But, to those men that sought him, sweet as 
 summer. 
 
 And though he were tinsatisfied in getting, 
 
 (Which was a sin,) yet in bestowing, 
 madam. 
 
 He was most princely : Ever witness for him 
 
 Those twins of learning, that he rais'd in 
 you, 
 
 Ipswich and Oxford ! one of which fell with 
 him, 
 
 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 : 
 And, to add greater honours to his age 
 The man could give him, he died, fearing 
 
 God.

 Kafh. So may he rest ; his faults lie gen-

 Yetthusfar, Griffith, give me leave to speak 
 him. 
 
 And yet with charity, — He was a man 
 
 Of an unbounded stomach, ever ranking 
 
 Himself with princes ; one, that by sug- 
 gestion 
 
 Ty'd all the kingdom : simony was fair 
 play; 
 
 His own opinion was his law : i' the pres- 
 ence 
 
 He would say untruths ; and be ever double, 
 
 Both in his words and meaning. He was 
 never, 
 
 But where he meant to ruin, pitiful : 
 
 His promises were, as he then was, mighty; 
 
 But his performance, as he is now, nothing. 
 
 Of his own body he was ill, and gave 
 
 The clergy ill example.

 As I am now unhappy ; which is more

 A moiety of the throne, a great king's

 And threw it towards thy land ; the sea re-

 And so, I wish'd, thy body might my heart : 
 And even with this, I lost fair England's

 And bid mine eyes be packing with my

 And call'd them blind and dusky specta-

 For losing ken of Albion's wished coast. 
 How often have I tempted Suffolk's tongue 
 (The agent of thy foul inconstancy,) 
 To sit and witch me, as Ascanius did.

 Val. A woman sometime scorns what 
 
 best contents her : 
 Send her another ; never give her o'er ; 
 For scorn at first makes after-love the 
 
 more. 
 If she do frown, 't is not in hate of you. 
 But rather to beget more love in you : 
 If she do chide, 't is not to have you 
 
 gone; 
 For why, the fools are mad, if left alone. 
 Take no repulse, whatever she doth say : 
 For "get you gone," she doth not mean 
 
 " away !" 
 Flatter, and praise, commend, extol their

 Though ne'er so black, say they have angels'

 Edw. A wisp of straw were worth a

 Helen of Greece was fairer far than thou, 
 Although thy husband may be Menelaus ; 
 And ne'er was Agamemnon's brother wrong'd 
 By that false woman, as this king by thee. 
 His father revell'd in the heart of France, 
 And tara'd the king, and made the Dauphin 
 
 stoop ; 
 And, had he match'd according to his state. 
 He might have kept that glory to this day : 
 But, when he took a beggar to his bed. 
 And grac'd thy poor sire with his bridal day ; 
 Even then that sunshine brew'd a shower 
 
 for him, 
 That wash'd his father's fortunes forth of 
 
 France, 
 And heap'd sedition on his crown at home. 
 
 For what hath broach'd this tumult, but thy 
 
 pride? 
 Hadst thou been meek, our title still had 
 
 slept.

 Crying, "Long live! hail, Caesar!"

 But for your words, they rob the Hybla

 What cannoneer begot this lusty blood? 
 
 He speaks plain cannon, fire, and smoke,

 He gives the bastinado with his tongue ; 
 
 Our ears are cudgel'd; not a word of his. 
 
 But buffets better than a fist of France :

 Thu. Sir, if you spend word for word

 Val. I know it well, sir : you have an

 So like a courtier : contempt nor bitterness 
 Were in his pride or sharpness ; if they

 His equal had awak'd them; and his hon-

 He us'd as creatures of another place ; 
 And bow'd liis eminent top to their low 
 
 ranks, 
 Making them proud of his humility, 
 In their poor praise lie humbled. Such a 
 
 man 
 Might be a copy to these younger times ; 
 Which, follow'd well, would demonstrate 
 
 them now 
 But goers backward.

 So, when this loose behaviour I throw off, 
 And pay the debt I never promised. 
 By how much better than my word I am, 
 By so much shall I falsify men's hopes ; 
 And, like bright metal on a sullen ground. 
 My reformation, glittering o'erxny fault, 
 Shall show more goodly, and attract more 
 
 eyes. 
 Than that which hath no foil to set it off. 
 I '11 so offend, to make offence a skill ; 
 Redeeming time, when men think least I 
 
 will.

 P. Hen. So please your majesty, 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 newsmon- 
 gers, 
 I may, for some things true, wlierein my 
 
 youth 
 Hath faulty wander'd and irregular, 
 Find pardon on my true submission.

 Clo. O mistress mine, where are you roaming, 
 O stay and hear; your true love 's coming, 
 
 That can sing hoth high and low : 
 Trip no further, pretty sweeting ; 
 Journeys end in lovers' meeting, 
 Every wise man's son doth know. 
 
 Sir And. Excellent good, i' faith. 
 Sir To. Good, good. 
 
 Clo. What is love? 'tis not hereafter; 
 Present mirth hath present laughter; 
 
 What 's to come is still unsure : 
 In delay there lies no plenty ; 
 Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty, 
 Youth 's a stuff will not endure.
