WHifCOMB & CO- Book Printers, Lynn, Masit Electrotyperst Boston, Mass. — iri — i— n— r -it 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. Iago's advice to Eoderigo, "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." — A. 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 effect 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, Rolfe, 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 therefore 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 Rev. 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.

It grieves many : The gentleman is learn'd, and a most rare speaker, To nature none more bound; his training such, 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 complete, Who was enroll'd 'mongst wonders, and when we, Almost with ravish'd list'ning, could not find His hour of speech a minute ; he, my lady, Hath into monstrous habits put the graces That once were his, and is become as black As if besmear'd in hell. //.

O me, with what strict patience have I sat, To see a king transformed to a gnat ! To see great Hercules whipping a gig, And profound Solomon tuning a jig, And Nestor play at push-pin with the boys, And critic Timon laugh at idle toys ! L. L., IV: 3. 288. — Poor Proof of Love. Cleo. Nay, pray you, seek no colour for your going, But bid farewell, and go : when you sued staying, Then was the time for words : No going then ; — Eternity was in our lips, and eyes ; Bliss in our brows' bent ; none our parts so poor, But was a race of heaven : They are so still, Or thou, the greatest soldier of the world, Art turn'd the greatest liar.

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 Richmond, 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 Richmond should be king, When Richmond 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. Richmond ! — When last I was at Exeter, The mayor in courtesy show'd me the castle, And call'd it — Rouge-mont : at which name, I started ; Because a bard of Ireland told me once, I should not live long after I saw Richmond. 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. R. 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, how 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? — O, pardon me, that I descend so low, To show the line, and the predicament, Wherein you range under this 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 ycu, God pardon it ! have done, — To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose, And plant this thorn, this canker, Boling- broke? And shall it, in more shame, be further spoken, That you are fool'd, discarded, and shook off By him, for whom these shames ye under- went ? No ; yet time serves, wherein you may re- deem Your banish'd honours, and restore your- selves Into the good thoughts of the world again : Revenge the jeering, and disdain'd contempt, Of this proud king ; who studies, day and . night, To answer all the debt he owes to you, Even with the bloody payment of your deaths. H. IT., 1 pt., 1 : 3. 732. 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 child of fancy, that Armado hight, For interim to our studies, shall relate, In high-born words, the worth of many a knight From 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. L.Z.,1: 1. 273. — Rare, Grouped. Agam. * * When rank Thersites opes his mastiff jaws, We shall hear music, wit, and oracle. T. C, I: 3. 1108. ACCUSATION. — Doubtful. Hor. Alas, my lord, hang me, if ever I spake the words. 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. H. YL, 2 pt., 1 : 3. 913. — False, Its Effect. Claud. O Hero ! what a Hero hadst thou been, If half thy outward graces had been plac'd About thy thoughts, and counsels of thy heart : But, fare thee well ! most foul, most fair, farewell ! Thou pure impiety, and impious purity ; For 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. Leo. Hath no man's dagger here a point for me? Beat. Why, how now, cousin? where- fore sink you down? D. John. Come, let us go : these things, come thus to light, Smother her spirits up. M. A., IV : 1. 245. — Resented, as Though False. Aum. Princes, and noble lords, What answer shall I make to this base man? Shall I so much dishonour my fair stars, On equal terms to give him chastisement? Either I must, or have mine honour soil'd With the attainder of his sland'rous lips. — There is my gage, the manual seal of death, That marks thee out for hell : I say, thou liest, ACCUSATION. ACCUSED. And will maintain, what thou hast said, is false, In thy heart-blood, though being all too base To stain the temper of my knightly sword. B. II., TV : 1. 707. — Self, Intemperate.

ACCUSATIONS.— Against the Great Per. * * The blind mole casts Copp'd hills towards heaven, to tell, the earth is wrong'd By man's oppression ; and the poor worm doth die for 't.

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.

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 younier 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 !

Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head ; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the tongue : but if you mouth it, as many of your 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 ADVICE. 12 AFFECTION. allowance, o'erweigh a whole theatre of others. O, there be players, that I have seen play, — and heard others praise, and that highly, — not to speak 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. H., Ill : 2. 1412. — Polonius' to his Son. Pol. * * Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportional 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 the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell ; my blessing season this in thee ! II., I: 3. 1397. ADVISERS.— Bad, Reproached. Boling. 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 fell'd my forest woods, From mine own windows torn my household coat, Baz'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. R. II., Ill : 1. 700. AFFECTATION. — Forsworn.

Thou hid'st a thousand daggers in thy thoughts ; 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 hour? Then get thee gone ; and dig my grave thy- self; And bid the merry bells ring to thine ear, That thou art crowned, not that I am dead.

Why, Petrucio is coming, in a new- hat and an old jerkin ; a pair 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 armou^, 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 lampass, 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-shotten ; ne'er legged before ; and with a half-cheeked bit, and a head-stall of sheep's leather, w r hich, 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, which hath two letters for her name, fairly set down in studs, and here and there piec'd with packthread.

O, sir, his lackey, for all the world caparisoh'd like the horse ; with a linen stock on one leg, and a kersey boot-hose on the other, gartered with a red and blue list ; an old hat, and "The humour of forty fancies " pricked in 't for a feather : a mon- ster, a very monster in apparel.

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 offended you? what cause Hath my behaviour given to your displeas- ure, That thus you should proceed to put me off, A.nd 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 your countenance ; glad, or sorry As I saw it inclin'd. When was the hour, I ever contradicted your desire, 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 was 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.

In religion, What damned error, but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with 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 Avisest. Therefore, thou gau- dy gold, Hard food for Midas, I will none of thee : Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge 'Tweeii man and man. But thou, thou meagre lead, Which rather threat'nest than dost promise aught, Thy paleness moves me more than elo- quence. J/. F.,III: 2. 377. APPETITE. — A Wolf.

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.

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? 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?

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 knoAvs, and you know,) in his rages, and his furies, and his wraths, 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. Gorv. 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 forget his name.

A r ., 1 : 1. 321. — Anxiety of His Sons. Tal. O young John Talbot ! I did send for thee, To tutor thee in stratagems of war ; That Talbot's name might be in thee reviv'd, When sapless age, and weak unable limbs, FATHER. 2IO FATNESS. Should bring thy father to his drooping chair. But, — malignant and ill-boding stars! — Now thou art come unto a feast of death, A terrible and unavoided danger : Therefore, dear boy, mount on my swiftest horse, And I '11 direct thee how thou shalt escape By sudden flight : come, dally not, begone. II. VI, 1 pt., IV : 5. 888. — Curse of a. Shep. * * Wilt thou not stoop? Now cursed be the time Of thy nativity ! I would, the milk Thy mother gave thee, when thou suck'dst her breast, Had been a little ratsbane for thy sake ! Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs-a- field, I wish some ravenous wolf had eaten thee ! Dost thou deny thy father, cursed drab? O, burn her, burn her ; hanging is too good. //. VI, lpt., V: 4. 895. — Disowned. Shep. Ah, Joan ! this kills thy father's heart outright ! Have I sought every country far and near, And, now it is my chance to find thee out, Must I behold thy timeless cruel death? Ah, Joan ! sweet daughter Joan, I '11 die with thee ! Puc. Decrepit miser ! base ignoble wretch ! I am descended of a gentler blood ; Thou art no father, nor no friend, of mine. * * Shep. Fie, Joan ! that thou wilt be so obstacle ! God knows, thou art a collop of my flesh; And for thy sake have I shed many a tear : Deny me not, I pr'ythee, gentle Joan. Puc. Peasant, avaunt! — You have sub- orn'd this man, Of purpose to obscure my noble birth. H. IV., 1 pt., V : 4. 895. —The Care of. Cor. * * I know you what you are ; And, like a sister, am most loath to call Your faults, as they are nam'd. Use well our father : To your professed bosoms I commit him : But yet, alas ! stood I within his grace. K.L.,1: 1. 1446. — The most Honored Guest. Pol. Methinks, a father Is, at the nuptial of his son, a guest That best becomes the table. * * The father (all whose joy is nothing else But fair posterity) should hold some counsel In such a business. W. T.,1V: 3. 605. FATNESS. — Admired. Her. * * Cram 's with praise, and make 's As fat as tame things. W. T.,1: 2. 582. Coes. Let me have men about me that are fat ; Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights : Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look ; He thinks too much : such men are danger- ous. J. C, 1 : 2. 1325. — Cannot Rob Death. P. Hen. * * What ! old acquaintance ! could not all this flesh Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell ! I could have better spared a better man. O, I should have a heavy miss of thee, If I were much in love with vanity. Death hath not struck so fat a deer to-day, Though many dearer, in this bloody fray : — Embowell'd will I see thee by and by ; Till then, in blood by noble Percy lie. II. IV.,1 pt., V: 4. 761. — In a Kitchen Wench. Dro. S. Marry, sir, she 's the kitchen- wench, and all grease ; and I know not what use to put her to, but to make a lamp of her, and run from her by her own light. I war- rant, her rags, and the tallow in them, will burn a Poland winter : if she lives till dooms- day, she '11 burn a week longer than the Avhole world. C. E., Ill : 2. 202. — Lards the Earth. P. Hen. * * Falstaff sweats to death, And lards the lean earth as he walks along. H. IV., 1 pt., II : 2. 736. FAULT. 211 FEAR. FAULT.— Men Moulded out of. Mart. Isabel, Sweet Isabel ! do yet but kneel by me ; Hold up your bands, say nothing, I '11 speak all. They say best men are moulded out of faults ; And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad: so may my husband. M. M., V : 1. 175. FAULTS.— Abstract of All. Caes. You may see, Lepidus, and hence- forth know, It is not Caesar's natural vice to hate One great competitor : From Alexandria This is the news : He fishes, drinks, and wastes The lamps of night in revel : is not more manlike Than Cleopatra ; nor the queen of Ptolemy More womanly than he : hardly gave au- dience, or Vouchsaf d to think he had partners : You shall find there A man, who is the abstract of all faults That all men follow. A. C, 1 : 4. 1545. — Freedom from. lago. * * I confess, it is my nature's plague To spy into abuses; and, oft, my jealousy Shapes faults that are not. 0., Ill: 3. 1511. Duke. That we were all, as some would seem to be, From our faults, as faults from seeming, free! 3f. Jf., Ill: 2. 160. — Hereditary. Lep. I must not think, there are Evils enough to darken all his goodness : His faults, in him, seem as the spots of heaven, More fiery by night's blackness ; hereditary, Rather than purchaVd ; what he cannot change, Than what he chooses. A. C, I: 4.1545. — Increased by Mending. Pern. When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetous- ness : And, oftentimes, excusing of a fault, Doth make the fault the worse by the ex- cuse ; As patches, set upon a little breach, Discredit more in hiding of the fault, Than did the fault before it was so patch'd. K. J., IV : 2. 666. — Lead to Shame. Cor. Time shall unfold what plaited cun- ning hides ; Who cover faults, at last shame them de- rides. K.L.,I\ 1. 1446. FAWNING.— Fatal with the Noble. Jlfet. Most high, most mighty, and most puissant Caesar, Metellus Cimber throws before thy seat An humble heart : — Coes. 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 Caasar bears such rebel blood, That will be thaw'd from the true quality With that which melteth fools ; I mean, sweet Avords, 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 spurn thee like a cur out of my way. J. C, III : 1. 1335. FEAR. — A Fat Man's. P. Hen. Got with much ease. ISiow 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. Falstaff sweats to death, FEAR. 212 FEAR. And lards the lean earth as he walks along : Wer 't not for laughing, I should pity him. H. /F.,l.pt.,II: 2. 736. —A Hell. lack. * * I lodge in fear ; Though this a heavenly angel, hell is here. Cym.,ll: 2. 1599. —A Violent Sea. Rosse. * * I 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. M., IV : 2. 1377. — An Accursed Passion. Bur. I trust, the ghost of Talbot is not there ; Now he is gone, my lord, you need not fear. Puc. Of all base passions, fear is most accurs'd. //. VI., lpt., V: 2. 892. — Betrays Itself. 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. O, 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. M., Ill : 4. 1372. — Buried in Death. Exton. Great king, within this coffin I present Thy buried fear ; herein all breathless lies The mightiest of thy greatest enemies. R. 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. R. II., Ill : 2. 702. — Cowardly . Macb. Go, prick thy face, and over-red thy fear, Thou lily-liver'd boy. What soldiers, patch ? Death of thy soul ! those linen cheeks of thine Are counsellors to fear. What soldiers, whey-face? M., 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 : The mind I sway by, and the heart I bear, Shall never sag with doubt, nor shake with fear. M., V: 3. 1382. — Disowned. Cess. * * I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd, Than what I fear, for always I am Caesar. J. C.,l: 2. 1325. —Distills to Jelly. 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. 213 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 dumh, and speak not to him. //., 1 : 2. 1395. — Fed by Rumors. 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. K. J., IV : 2. 667. -How to Inspire. Con. This becomes the great. Sorry am I, his numbers are so few, His soldiers sick, and famish'd in their march ; 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. //. F., Ill: 5. 835. — Inseparable from Wrong. Dion. Be one of those, that think The petty wrens of Tharsus will fly hence, And open this to Pericles. I do shame To think of what a noble strain you are, And of how cow'd a spirit. P., IV: 4. 1662. — Inspiration in Flight. Tro. * * Who marvels then, when Helenus beholds A Grecian and his sword, if he do set The very wings of reason to his heels ; And fly like chidden Mercury from Jove, Or like a star dis-orb'd? T. C, II : 2. 1114. — Its Blanching Power. K. Hen. * * Why, how now, gentle- men, What see you in those papers, that you lose So much complexion? — look ye, how they change ! Their cheeks are paper. — Why, what read you there, That hath so cowarded and chas'd your blood Out of appearance? H. F., II : 2. 827. — Its Blinding Power. Tro. Fears make devils cherubims ; they never see truly. Ores. 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. Char. Tempt him not so too far : I wish, forbear ; In time we hate that which we often fear. A. C, 1 : 3. 1543. — Its Rooting Power. Wal. * * If we shall stand still, In fear our motion will be mock'd or carp'd at, We should take root here where we sit, or sit State statues only. H. VIir.,I: 2. 1060. — Its Sign. Queen. * * Your bedded hair, like life in excrements, Starts up, and stands on end. H., Ill : 4. 1419. — Kills with its Look. Sir To. * * This will so fright them both, that they will kill one another by the look, like cockatrices. T. N., Ill : 4. 560. — Makes the Heart Beat. Tro. * * My heart beats thicker than a feverous pulse ; And all my powers do their bestowing lose, Like vassalage at unawares encount'ring The eye of majesty. T. C., III : 2. 1121. —Of Death. Her. * * Tell me what blessings I have here alive, That I should fear to die? W. T., Ill : 2. 594. FEAR. 214 FEARS. — Of the Reputed Brave. lied. * * There is no lady of more softer bowels, More spungy to suck in the sense of fear, More ready to cry out — "Who knows what follows?" Than Hector is. T. C, II : 2. 1113. — Reads Results in the Eyes. North. * * He, that but fears the thins? he would not know, Hath,, by instinct, knowledge from others' eyes, That what he fear'd is chanced. H. IV., 2 pt., 1 : 1. 774. — Some never Inspire it. Bot. * * Ladies, or fair ladies, I would wish you, or I would request you, or I would entreat you, not to fear, not to tremble : my life for yours. It you think I come hither as a lion, it were pity of my life : No, I am no such thing ; I am a man as other men are : and there, indeed, let him name his name, and tell them plainly he is Snug the joiner. M. N., III: 1. 330. — Transient. K. Rich. * * This ague-fit of fear is over-blown ; An easy task it is, to win our own. Say, Scroop, where lies our uncle with his power? Speak sweetly, man, although thy looks be sour. R. II, Ill : 2. 702. — Troops Defeated by. 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 stench, Are from their hives, and houses, driven away. //. VI, 1 pt., 1 : 5. 871. Unkingly. Bast. * * Be great in act, as you have been in thought ; Let not the world see fear and sad distrust. Govern the motion of a kingly eye. K. J., V : I. 671. — Unknown in Scotland. Doug. As heart can think : there is not such a word Spoke of in Scotland, as this term of fear. H. IV., 1 pt., IV : 1. 753. FEARLESSNESS.— Unconquerable. Aar. * * Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things, As willingly as one would kill a fly ; And nothing grieves me heartily indeed, But that I cannot do ten thousand more. Tit. And., V: 2. 1227. 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. J/., 1 : 3. 1360. —Traitors to Us. Bel. Stand, stand ! We have the advan- tage of the ground ; The lane is guarded : nothing routs us, but ' The villany of our fears. Cym., V : 2. 1622. L. Macd. What had he done to make him fly the land? Rosse. You must have patience, madam. L. Macd. He had none : His flight was madness : when our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors. M., IV : 2. 1376. FEAST. 215 FEUDS. FEAST. — A Costly one. Eno. Upon her landing, Antony sent to her, Invited her to supper : she replied, It should be better, he became her guest ; Which she entreated : Our courteous An- tony, Whom ne'er the word of "No" woman heard speak, Being barber 'd ten times o'er, goes to the feast ; And, for his ordinary, pays his heart, For what his eyes eat' only. A. C, II : 2. 1550. FEIGNING. — An Actor's, Perfect. Glo. Come, cousin, canst thou quake, and change thy colour? Murder thy breath in middle of a word, — And then again begin, and stop again, As if thou wert distraught, and mad with terror? Buck. Tut, I can counterfeit the deep tragedian ; Speak, and look back, and pry on every 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. R. III., Ill : 5. 1025. FELLOW.— Somethings Have no. Lov. * * A French song, and a fiddle, has no fellow. //. VIII., 1 : 3. 1063. FEROCITY.— Woman's, in War. West. My liege, this haste was hot in question, And many limits of the charge set down But yesternight : when, all athwart, there came A post from Wales, loaden 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 thousand 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. //.

Prin. * * Three civil broils, bred of an airy word, By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets ; And made Verona's ancient citizens 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, Your 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- place. Once more, on pain of death, all men depart. R.J.,I: l. 1242. — International, Healed. K. Hen. * * Give me your daughter. Fr. King. Take her, fair son ; and from her blood raise up Issue to me : that the contending kingdoms Of France and England, whose very shores look pale With envy of each other's happiness, May cease their hatred ; and this dear con- junction Plant neighbourhood and christian-like ac- cord In their sweet bosoms, that never war ad- vance His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France.

Holy Saint Francis ! what a change is here ! 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 Maria! 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 in men. R.J., II: 3. 1254. Pro. * * O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day ; Which now shows all the beauty of the sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away ! T.

Wol. I do profess, That for your highness' good I ever labour'd More than mine own ; that am, have, and will be. Though all the world should crack their duty to you, And throw it from their soul ; though perils did Abound, as thick as thought could make them, and Appear in forms more horrid ; yet my duty, As doth a rock against the chiding flood, Should the approach of this wild river break, And stand unshaken yours. H. VIII., Ill: 2. 1079. — Conjugal. Bru. You are my true and honourable wife ; As dear to me, as are the ruddy drops That visit my sad heart. J. C., II: 1. 1332. — Has Memory.

H. IV., 2 pt., II : 3. 785. — In Misfortune. K. Rich. Thanks, noble peer, The cheapest of us is ten groats too dear. What art thou ? and how comest thou hither, Where no man never comes, but that sad dog That brings me food, to make misfortune live? Groom. I was a poor groom of thy sta- ble, king, When thou wert king; who, travelling to- wards York, With much ado, at length have gotten leave To look upon my sometime master's face. O, how it yern'd my heart, when I beheld, In London streets, that coronation day, When Bolingbroke rode on roan Barbary !

J. C III : 1. 1336. — Invoked. Cor.

Thy flatterers yet wear silk, drink wine, lie soft; Hug there diseas'd perfumes, and have for- got That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, By putting on the cunning of a carper, Be thou a flatterer now, and seek to thrive 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 ; had'st thou wealth again, Rascals should have 't.

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 uone : 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. H.

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 waiting-gentlewoman, Of guns, and drums, and wounds, (God save the mark!) And telling me, the sovereign'st thing on earth Was parmaciti, 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 would himself have been a soldier.

Const. * * And, father cardinal, I have heard you say, That we shall see and know our friends in heaven : If that be true, I shall see my boy again ; For, since the birth of Cain, the first male child, To him that did but yesterday suspire, There was not such a gracious creature born. But now will canker sorrow eat my bud, And chase the native beauty from his cheek, And he will look as hollow as a ghost ; As dim and meagre as an ague's fit ; And so he '11 die ; and, rising so again, When I shall meet him in the court of heaven I shall not know him : therefore never, never Must I behold my pretty Arthur more. K. J.,\ll: 4. 662. FRIENDSHIP.— Continuance Desired. 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. A. C, II : 2. 1549. — Covetous. Stan. * * Farewell : The leisure and the fearful time Cuts off the ceremonious vows of love, And ample interchange of sweet discourse, Which so long sunder'd friends should dwell upon; God give us leisure for these rites of love ! Once more, adieu : — Be valiant, and speed well! R. TIL, V : 3. 1043. — Dependent on Fortune. P. King. * * 'T is a question left us yet to prove, 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. H., in: 2. 1414. — Disinterested, a Dream. Flav. * * 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. FRIENDSHIP. 2 3 8 FRIENDSHIP. My dearest lord, — bless 'd, to be most ac- curs'd, Rich, only to be wretched ; thy great foi*- 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. T. A., IV : 2. 1305. — Flatters. Con.

Thus honest fools lay out their wealth on court'sies. T. A., 1 : 2. 1293. — Impotent. 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 Would 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? Men. 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 virginial palms of your 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. C, V : 2. 1187. — Inconstant in Matters of Love. Claud. * * The prince woes for him- self; Friendship is constant in all other things, Save in the office and affairs of love : Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues ; Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent : for beauty is a witch, Against whose charms faith melteth into blood. Jf.A.,11: 1. 231. — Of two Girls. Bel. * * O, and is all forgot? All school-days' friendship, childhood inno- cence? We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, Have with our needles created both one flower, Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, Both w r arbling 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? M. 2?., Ill : 2. 334. FRIENDSHIP. 239 FROLICSOMENESS. — Requires a Pledge. Stan. Most mighty sovereign, You have no cause to hold my friendship doubtful ; I never was, nor never will be false. K. Rich. Well, go, muster men. But, hear you, leave behind Your son, George Stanley ; look your heart be firm, Or else his head's assurance is but frail. Stan. So deal with him, as I prove true to you. R.

Antonio, I am married to a wife, Which is as dear to me as life itself; But life itself, my wife, and all the world, Are not with me esteem'd above thy life ; I would lose all, ay, sacrifice them all - Here to this devil, to deliver you. M. V., IV : 1. 385. — True, its Wisdom. Cor. ' * * Thou old and true Menenius, Thy tears are salter than a younger man's, And venomous to thine eyes. — My some- time general, I have seen thee stern, and thou hast oft be- held Heart-hard'ning spectacles ; tell these sad women, 'T is fond to wail inevitable strokes, As 't is to laugh at them. C, IV : 1. 1177. — True, unselfish. OH. O, you are sick of self-love, Malvo- lio, and taste with a distemper'd appetite. To be generous, guiltless, and of free dis- position, is to take those things for bird- bolts that you deem cannon-bullets. There is no slander in an allow'd fool, though he do nothing but rail; nor no railing in a known discreet man, though he do nothing but reprove. T. jr.. I: 5. 544. — Unlocks all Resources. Ant.

I cannot read them now. — gentlemen, the time of life is short ; To spend that shortness basely, were' too long, If life did ride upon a dial's point, Still ending at the arrival of an hour.

You were called — lusty Shallow, then, cousin. Shal. By the mass, I was called any thing; and I would have done any thing, 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 them all at commandment. Then was 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 gate, when he was a crack, not thus high : and the very same day did I fight with one Sampson Stockfish, a fruiterer, behind FROWNING. 24O FUTURE.

FUTURE.— Interpreted by the Past. War. There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceas'd : The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life ; which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured. Such things become the hatch and brood of time : And, by the necessary form of this, King Richard might create a perfect guess, That great Northumberland, then false to him, Would, of that seed, grow to a greater false- ness, Which should not find a ground to root upon, Unless on you.

This fellow picks up wit, as pigeons peas, And utters it again when Jove doth please. He is wit's peddler, and retails his wares At wakes, and wassails, meetings, markets, fairs : And we that sell by gross, the Lord doth know, Hath not the grace to grace it with such show. This gallant pins the wenches on his sleeve ; Had he been Adam, he had tempted Eve : He can carve too, and lisp : Why, this is he, That kiss'd away his hand in courtesy ; This is the ape of form, Monsieur the Nice, That, when he plays at tables, chides the dice In honourable terms ; nay, he can sing A mean most meanly ; and, in ushering, Mend him who can : the ladies call him, sweet ; The stairs, as he treads on them, kiss his feet; This is the flower that smiles on every one, To show his teeth as white as whales' bone : And consciences, that will not die in debt, Pay him the due of honey-tongued Boyet.

When first this order was ordain'd, my lords, Knights of the garter were of noble birth ; Valiant, and virtuous, full of haughty cour- age, Such as were grown to credit by the wars ; Not fearing death, nor shrinking for dis- tress, But always resolute in worst extremes. He then, that is not furnish 'd in this sort, Doth but usurp the sacred name of knight, Profaning this most honourable order ; And should (if I were worthy to be judge,) Be quite degraded, like a hedge-born swain That doth presume to boast of gentle blood. H. VI, lpt., IV: 1. 884. GAUNTNESS.— Bred of Watching. Gaunt. O, how that name befits my composition ! Old Gaunt, indeed ; and gaunt in being old : Within me grief hath kept a tedious fast ; And who abstains from meat, that is not gaunt? For sleeping England long time have I watch 'd; Watching breeds leanness, leanness is all gaunt ; The pleasure, that some fathers feed upon, Is my strict fast, I mean — my children's looks ; And, therein fasting, hast thou made me gaunt : Gaunt am I for the grave, gaunt as a grave, Whose hollow womb inherits nought but bones.

Well, 'would I were gently put out of office, Before I were forc'd out! Happier is he that has no friend to feed, Than such as do even enemies exceed. I bleed inwardly for my lord. T.

Give me the lie ; do ; and try whether I am not now a gentleman born. Aut. I know you are now, sir, a gentle- man born. Clo. Ay, and have been so any time these four hours. Shep. And so have I, boy. Clo. So you have : — but I was a gentle- man born before my father : for the king's son took me by the hand, and call'd me, brother : and then the two kings call'd my father, brother; and then the prince, my brother, and the princess, my sister, call'd my father, father; and so we wept: and there was the first gentlemanlike tears that ever we shed.

His pupil age Man-enterd 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.

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.

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 follow'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.

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. * * Emit.

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.

But, Clifford, tell me, didst thou never hear, — That things ill got had ever bad success? And happy always was it for that son, Whose father for his hoarding went to hell. I '11 leave my son my virtuous deeds behind ; And 'would, my father had left me no more ! HEREDITY. 275 HEROES. For all the rest is held at such a rate, As brings a thousand-fold more care to keep, Than in possession any jot of pleasure. H. F/.,3pt., II: 2. 965. — When not Answerable. Leon. No, in good earnest. — How sometimes nature will betray its folly, Its tenderness, and makes itself a pastime To harder bosoms ! Looking on the lines Of my boy's face, my thoughts I did recoil Twenty-three years ; and saw myself un- breech'd In my green velvet coat ; my dagger muz- zled, Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, As ornaments oft do, too dangerous. How like, methought, I then was to this kernel, This squash, this gentleman : — Mine honest friend, Will you take eggs for money? Mam. No, my lord, I '11 fight. W. T., I : 2. 582.

Lady P. * * By his light, Did all the chivalry of England move To do brave acts ; he was, indeed, the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress them- selves. He had no legs, thatpractis'd not his gait : And speaking thick, which nature made his blemish, Became the accents of the valiant ; For those that could speak low, and tardily, Would turn their own perfection to abuse, To seem like him : So that, in speech, in gait, In diet, in affections of delight, In military rules, humours of blood, He was the mark and glass, copy and book, That fashion'd others. If. IV., 2 pt., II : 3. 784. — A powerful Leader. Com. If! He is their god ; he leads them like a thing Made by some other deity than nature, That shapes man better : and they follow him, Against us brats, with no less confidence, Than boys pursuing summer butterflies, Or butchers killing flies. C, IV : 6. 1184. HEROES. — Compliment each Other. Hect. Let me embrace thee, good old chronicle, That hast so long walk'd hand in hand with time : — Most reverend Nestor, I am glad to clasp thee.

Well, welcome, welcome ! I have seen the time — Ulyss. I wonder now how yonder city stands, When Ave have here her base and pillar by us. Hect. I know your favour, lord Ulysses, well. Ah, sir, there 's many a Greek and Trojan dead, Since first I saw yourself and Diomed In Ilion, on your Greekish embassy. Ulyss. Sir, I foretold you then what would ensue : My prophecy is but half his journey yet ; For yonder walls, that pertly front your town, Yon towers whose wanton tops do buss the clouds, Must kiss their own feet. T. a, IV : 5. 1134 — Contemptible in Appearance. Count. Is this the scourge of France? Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad, That with his name the mothers still their babes?

Is Talbot slain; the Frenchmen's only scourge, Your kingdom's terror and black Nemesis? It were enough to fright the realm of France : Were but his picture left among you here, It would amaze the proudest of you all. Give me their bodies ; that I may bear them hence, And give them burial as beseems their worth. Puc. I think, this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, He speaks with such a proud commanding spirit. For God's sake, let him have 'em ; to keep them here, They would but stink, and putrefy the air. Char. Go, take their bodies hence. Lucy. I '11 bear them hence : But from their ashes shall be rear'd A phoenix that shall make all France afeard. Char. So we be rid of them, do with 'em what thou wilt. And now to Paris, in this conquering vein ; All will be ours, now bloody Talbot 's slain. H. VI, 1 pt., IV : 7. 891. HESITATION.— On the Verge of Crime. Macb. We will, proceed no further in this business : He hath honour'd me of late ; and I have bought Golden opinions from all sorts of people, . Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, Not cast aside so soon. Lady M. Was the hope drunk, Wherein you dress'd yourself? hath it slept since, And wakes it now, to look so green and pale At what it did so freely? From this time, Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard To~be the same in thine own act and valour, As thou art in desire? Would'st thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem; Letting "I dare not " wait upon "I would," Like the poor cat i' the adage? J/., 1 : 7. 1362. HINTS.— Incite to Crime. Exton. Didst thou not mark the king, what words "he spake? " Have I no friend will rid me of this living fear?" Was it not so? Serv. Those were his very words. Exton. "Have I no friend? " quoth he : he spake it twice, And urg'd it twice together; did he not? Serv. He did. Exton. And, speaking it, he wistfully look'd on me ! As who should say, — I would, thou wert the man That would divorce this terror from my heart ; Meaning, the king at Pomfret. Come, let 's go; I am the king's friend, and will rid his foe.

You cannot make gross sins look clear ; To revenge is no valour, but to bear. Alcib. * * 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. T. A., Ill : 5. 1301. — Innocent.

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, Andfmay diseases lick up their false bloods ! And so, farewell, and thrive. T. A., IV: 3. 1311. — Independent. Touch. * * Rich honesty dwells like a miser, sir, in a poor house ; as your pearl in your foul ovster. A. Y.,V: 4. 436.

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 Erom off the rock Tarpeian, never more To enter our Rome gates : I' the people's name, 1 say, it shall be so.

Would you not have me honest? Touch. No, truly, unless thou wert hard- favour 'd : for honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey a sauce to sugar. A. Y., Ill: 3. 425. HONOR. — Argument in a Straw. 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 bloody, or be nothing worth ! H.,IV: 2. 1423. — Deserved. 1 Off. That 's a brave fellow ; but he 's vengeance proud, and loves not the common pecple. * * 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 man. C, II: 2. 1163. Drives away Shame Jul. Upon his brow shame is asham'd to sit ; HONOR. 279 HONOR. For 't is a throne where honour may be crown'd Sole monarch of the universal earth. R.J., ill: 2. 1261. — Due to Greatness. Ccbs. * * The wife of Antony Should have an army for an usher, and The neighs of horse to tell of her approach, Long ere she did appear ; the trees by the way, Should have borne men; and expectation fainted, Longing for what it had not. A. C, III: 6. 1561. — Easily Attained. 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.

II. V., IV : C. 844. — Hard to Keep. K. Hen. * * Why, thou unconfutable 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 your blunderbuss oaths", under the shelter of your honour ! M. W., II : 2. 97. — Independent of Habiliments. Pet. Well, 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? 0, no, good Kate; neither art thou the worse For this poor furniture and mean array. T. S.,1V: 3. 477. —Its Train.

Bru. * * 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 other, 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, I: 2. 1324. — More precious than Life. Hect. Hold you still, I say ; Mine honour keeps the weather of my fate : Life every man holds dear ; but the dear man Holds honour far more precious-dear than life. T.

(And so am I, whether I smack, or no ;) And not alone in habit and device, Exterior form, outward accoutrement ; But from the inward motion to deliver Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth : Which, though I will not practise to deceive, Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn ; For it shall strew the footsteps of my rising. K. vs at hand : My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne ; And, all this day, an unaccustom'd spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts. I dreamt, my lady came and found me dead ; (Strange dream! that gives a dead man leave to think,) And breath'd such life with kisses in my lips, That I reviv'd, and was an emperor. Ah, me! how sweet is love itself possess'd, When but love's shadows are so rich in joy? R. J., V : 1. 1273. — Its Treasures. Val. Not for the world : why, man, she is mine own; And I as rich in having such a jewel, As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold. T. G.,U: 4. 56. — Justifies Disguise. 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. 7V G., V : 4. 72. — Longings of a mutual.

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 his brains dash'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. —Misplaced.

That strain again ; — it had a dying fall : O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing, and giving odour. T. JT.,1: 1. 540. — Natural, its Declaration.

W. T., IV : 3. 602. — Never Quenched. Jul. 0, know'st thou not, his looks are my soul's food? Pity the dearth that I have pined in, By longing for that food so long a time.

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 oh the sheets, his hair, you see, is sticking ; His Avell-proportion'd beard made rougli and rugged, Like to the summer's corn by tempest lodu'd.

'Zounds, I will speak of him; and let my soul Want mercy, if I do not join with him : Yea, on his part, I '11 empty all these veins, And shed my dear blood drop by drop i' the dust, But I will lift the down-trod Mortimer As high i' the air as this unthankful king, As this ingrate and canker'd Bolingbroke.

When we for recompense have prais'd the vile, It stains the glory in that happy verse Which aptly sings the good. T. A., I: 1. 1286. RECOVERY. — From Insanity. Phys. Be comforted, good madam : the great rage, You see, is cur'd in him : and yet it is dan- ger To make him even o'er the time he has lost. Desire him to go in; trouble him no more, Till further settling. K. L., IV: 7. 1479. RECREATION. Abb. * * .Sweet recreation barr'd, what doth ensue But moody and dull melancholy, Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, And, at her heels, a huge infectious troop Of pale distemperatures, and foes to life? C. E„ V : 1. 210. 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. R. III., II : 1. 1014 REDRESS.— Not Sought of the Devil. Duke. Relate your wrongs : In what? By whom? Be brief; Here is Lord Angelo shall give you justice ! Reveal yourself to him. Tsab. O, worthy duke, Yci I i 1 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. 170. 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 A r iolet, 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. K.J.,IV: 2. 665. REFINEMENT. — Simulated. Mai. * * I will be proud, I will read politic authors, I will baffle Sir Toby, I will wash off gross acquaintance, I will be point device, the very man. T.

H. /F.,lpt.,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. H. 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.

Leon. 0, my brother, (Good gentleman !) the wrongs I have done thee stir Afresh within me ; and these thy offices, So rarely kind, are as interpreters Of my behind-hand slackness. W.

I have done ill ; Of which I do accuse myself so sorely, 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 wish 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. REIN. — Giving the, Safe. Ant. * * When she will take the rein, I let her run ; But she '11 not stumble. W. T., II : 3. 591. RELATIONSHIP. — Adopted. Isab. Adoptedly; as school-maids change their names, By vain, though apt, affection. M. 3f., I: 4. 147. RELENTING. — A Sign of Cowardice. Clar. Relent, 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. 1 Murd. Take that, and that ; if all this 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 rny 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 dull-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. M.

Shy. Hates any man the thing he Avould not kill? Bass. Every offence is not a hate at first. Shy. What, wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice? Ant. I pray you, think you question with the Jew, You may as well go stand upon the beach, And bid the main flood bate his usual height ; RELENTLESSNESS. 462 REMORSE. You may as well use question with the wolf, Why he hath made the ewe bleat for the lamb ! 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 heaven ; You may as well do anything most hard, As seek to soften that (than which what's harder?) M. V., IV: l. 383. RELIABILITY. —Immovable. Mar. Dumain is mine, as sure as bark on tree. L. L., V : 2. 297. RELIANCE. — Self. Cleo. My resolution, and my hands, I '11 trust ; None about Caesar. A. C, IV: 13. 1575. REMEDIES — Have those We Seek. Hel. 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. t 1 : 1. 497. REMEDY. — Should Follow Knowl- edge. Agam. The nature of the sickness found, Ulysses, What is the remedy? T. C, 1 : 3. 1109. — Suited to Disease. 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 Murd. 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. R. III., 1 : 4. 1012. REMORSE— A Murderer's. Exton. As full of valour, as of royal blood : Both have I spilt ; O, would the deed were good ! Tor 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 here. R. II, V : 5. 717. REMORSE. 4 6 3 REMORSE. — Growth of.

I have done the deed : — Didst thou not hear a noise? Lady M. I heard the owl scream, and the crickets cry. Did not you speak? Macb. When? Lady M. Now. Macb. As I descended? Lady M. Ay. Macb. Hark! — Who lies i' the second chamber? Lady M. Donalbain. Macb. This is a sorry sight. Lady M. A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight. Macb. 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. Macb. 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. Macb. But wherefore could not I pro- nounce, amen? I had most need of blessing, and amen Stuck in my throat. Macb. I '11 go no more : I am afraid to think what I have done ; Look on 't again, I dare not. M., II : 2. 1364. — Othello's bitter. Oth. * * Be not afraid, though you do see me weap- on'd; Here is my journey's end, here is my butt, And very sea-mark of my utmost sail. Do you go back dismay'd? 't is a lost fear ; 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 heaven, And fiends will snatch at it. Cold, cold, my girl? Even like thy chastity. — 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 ! — O Desdemona ! Desdemona! dead? Dead? 0! O! O! 0., V:2. 1532. REMORSE. 464 REPENTANCE. — Unavailing. 2 Murd. A bloody deed, and desperately despatched !

O, that 's the Latin word for three farthings : three farthings — remuner- ation. — What's the price of this inkle? a penny : — No, I '11 give you a remuneration : why, it carries it. —Remuneration! — why, it is a fairer name than a French crown. I will never buy and sell outofthis word. Biron. O, my good knave Costard ! ex- ceedingly well met. Cost. Pray jou, sir, how much carnation ribbon may a man buy for a remuneration? Biron. What is a remuneration? Cost. Marry, sir, half-penny farthing. Biron. O, why then, three-farthings-worth of silk. Cost. I thank your worship : God be with you ! L. L. t III : 1. 281. RENOWN.— Sought.

I cannot bid you bid my daughter live ; 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. M.A., V: 1. 252. REPARTEE. — Sharp. 1 Lord. Hang thyself. Apem. No, I will do nothing at thy bid- ding ; make thy requests to thy friend. 2 Lord. Away, unpeaceable dog, or I '11 spurn thee hence. Apem. I will fly, like a dog, the heels of the ass. T. A., 1 : 1. 1289. 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 cudgelFd, 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- fall'n as a dried pear. I never prosper 'd since I forswore myself at primero. Well, if my wind were but long enough to say my prayers, I would repent. M. W.,IV: 5.115. — A sorrowful.

Fal. * * Well, I '11 repent, and that suddenly, while I am in some liking; I shall be out of heart shortly, and then I shall have no strength to repent. An I have not forgotten what the inside of a church is made of, I am a pepper-corn, a brewer's horse : the inside of a church ! Company, villanous company, hath been the spoil of me.

A brother's murder ! ; — Pray can I not, Though inclination be as sharp as will : My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent : 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, Were thicker than itself with brother's blood? Is there not rain enough in the sweet heav- ens, To wash it white as snow ! H., Ill : 3. 1417. — Leads to obedience.

Ah me, I see the ruin of my house ! 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- cre, I see, as in a map, the end of all. R.

Open your ears ; For which of you will stop 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, Stuffing 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, swoll'n with some other grief, Is thought with 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. H. IV., 2 pt., Ind. : 773. SACRIFICES. — Ad manes fratrum. Luc. Give us the proudest prisoner of the Goths, That we may hew his limbs, and, on a pile, Ad manes 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. Tit. And., 1 : 2. 1202 — Honored of the gods. Lear. Upon such sacrifices, my Corde- lia, The gods themselves throw incense. K. L., V : 3. 1481. SADNESS. — Indefinable. Ant. In sooth, I know not why I am so sad : It wearies me ; you say 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 I have much ado to know myself. M. V., 1 : 1. 361. — Real and affected. Arth. Mercy on me ! Methlnks, 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. K. J., IV : 1. 664. — Respects not Promise. Bushy. Madam, your majesty is too much sad : You promis'd, when you parted with the king, To lay aside life-harming heaviness, And entertain a cheerful disposition. R. II., II : 2. 695. SAFETY.

There is none but he Whose being I do fear : and under him My genius is rebuk'd ; as, it is said, Mark Antony's was by Caesar. 3f., Ill : 1. 1369. — In Defence. Hast. 'T is better using France, than trusting France : L et us be backed with God, and with the seas, Which he hath given for fence impregna- ble ; And with their helps only defend ourselves; In them, and in ourselves, our safety lies. H. VI., 3pt., IV: 1. 979. SANCTION.— High, Given unworthily. West. When ever yet was your appeal denied? Wherein have you been galled by the king? What peer hath been suborn* d to grate on you? That you should seal this lawless bloody book Of forg'd rebellion with a seal divine, And consecrate commotion's bitter edge? H. IV., 2pt., IV: 1. 795. SANCTUARY.— None for Children. Buck. You are too senseless-obstinate, my lord, 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. R. J II., Ill: 1. 1020. —Right of, inviolate. Card. My lord of Buckingham, if my weak oratory Can from his mother win the duke of York, Anon expect him here : But if she be obdu- rate To mild entreaties, God in heaven forbid We should infringe the holy privilege Of blessed sanctuary ! not for all this land, Would I be guilty of so deep a sin.

How lush and lusty the grass looks ! how green ! Ant. The ground, indeed, is tawny. Seb. With an eye of green in 't. Ant. He misses not much. Seb. No ; he doth but mistake the truth totally. Gon.

And in this fashion, All our abilities, gifts, natures, shapes, Severals and generals of grace exact, Achievements, plots, orders, preventions, Excitements to the field, or speech for truce, Success or loss, what is, or is not, serves As stuff for these two to make paradoxes. T. C, 1 : 3. 1109. — Infamous. Beat. Why, he 's the prince's jester, — a very dull fool ; only his gift is in devising impossible slanders ; none but libertines de- light in him ; and the commendation is not in his wit, but in his villainy ; for he both pleaseth men and angers them, and then they laugh at him and beat him.

Take that : and He that doth the ravens feed, Yea, providently caters for the sparrow, Be comfort to my age ! Here is the gold ; All this I give you. A. Y., II: 3. 415. SCANDAL. — Inevitable. Duke.

Had it pleas'd heaven To try me with affliction; had he rain'd All kinds of sores, and shames, on my bare head ; 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 soul A drop of patience : but (alas I) to make me A fixed figure, for the time of scorn To point his slow unmoving finger at, — O!

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. Brn. Kneel not, gentle Portia. Por. 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 tlie suburbs Of your good pleasure?

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 now : 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 everything beside : I am for the air ; this night I '11 spend Unto a dismal and a fatal end.

For, sir, It is as sure as you are Roderigo, Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago.

Marry, he trots hard with a young maid, between the contract of her marriage and the day it is solemniz'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 : Tiiese Time ambies 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 term, and then they perceive not how time moves. A. Y., Ill : 2. 423. — Out of Joint.

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?

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.

Thou, that didst bear the key of all my counsels, That knew'st the very bottom of my soul, TREACHERY. 562 TREASON. That almost might'st have coin'd me into gold, Would' st thou have practis'd on me for thy use? May it be possible, that foreign hire Could out of thee extract one spark of evil, That might annoy my finger? 't is so strange, That, though the truth of it stands off as gross As black from white, my eye will scarcely see it, Treason, and murder, ever kept together, As two yoke-devils sworn to either's pur- pose, Working so grossly in a natural cause, That admiration did not whoop at them : But thou, 'gainst all proportion, didst bring in Wonder, to wait on treason, and on mur- der : And whatsoever cunning fiend it was, That wrought upon thee so preposterously, H' ath got the voice in hell for excellence : And other devils, that suggest by treasons, Do botch and bungle up damnation With patches, colours, and with forms be- ing fetch*d From glistering semblances of piety ; But he, that temper'd thee, bade thee stand up. Gave thee no instance why thou should'st do treason, Unless to dub thee with the name of traitor. If that same daemon that hath gull'd thee thus, Should with his lion gait walk the whole world, He might return to vasty Tartar back, And tell the legions — I can never win A soul so easy as that Englishman's.

Thou art a traitor, and a miscreant; Too good to be so, and too bad to live ; Since, the more fair and crystal is the sky, The uglier seem the clouds that in it fly. Once more, the more to aggravate the note, With a foul traitor's name stuff! thy throat; And wish, (so please my sovereign,) ere I move, What my tongue speaks, my right-drawn sword may prove. It.

In Ireland have I seen this stubborn Cade Oppose himself against a troop of Kernes ; And fought so long, till that his thighs with darts Were almost like a sharp-quill'd porcu- pine : And, in the end being rescued, I have seen him Caper upright like a wild Morisco, Shaking the bloody darts, as he his bells. Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty Kerne, Hath he conversed with the enemy ; And undiscovered come to me again, And given me notice of their villanies. //. VI., 2 pt,, III : 1. 926. — Mercenary.

Freedom ! and Liber- ty! Cas. Stoop then, and wash. — How many ages hence, Shall this our lofty scene be acted over, In states unborn, and accents yet unknown? Bru. How many times shall Caesar bleed in sport, That now on Pompey's basis lies along, No worthier than the dust? Cas.

Cym. Son, let your mother end. Clo. We have yet many among us can gripe as hard as Cassibelan : I do not say, I am one ; but I have a hand. — Why trib- ute? why should we pay tribute?

M. V., I: 3. 365. — Control our Thoughts. Salar. My wind, cooling my broth, Would blow me to an ague, when 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 silks ; 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 think 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 ! Salar. Not in love neither? Then let us say you are sad Because you are not merry : and 't were as easy For you to laugh, and leap, and say you are merry, Because you are not sad. 31. V., 1: 1. 361. — Some, safe.

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 To find the other forth ; and, by adventuring both, I oft found both. 31. V., I: 1. 362. VENUS. — Smiles not. Par. * * For Venus smiles not in a house of tears. Now, sir, her father counts it dangerous, That she doth give her sorrow so much sway, And, in his wisdom, hastes our marriage, To stop the inundation of her tears. R. J., IV: 1. 1268. VERBOSITY.— All Chaff. Bass. Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff; you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search. M. V., 1 : 1. 362. VETERAN. — Recognition by a. JYest. I have, thou gallant Trojan, seen thee oft, Labouring for destiny, make cruel way Through ranks of Greekish youth : and I have seen thee, As hot as Perseus, spur thy Phrygian steed, Despising many forfeits and subduements, When thou hast hung thy advanced sword i' the air, Not letting it decline on the declin'd ; That I have said to some my standers-by, " Lo, Jupiter is yonder, dealing life ! " And I have seen thee pause, and take thy breath, VETERAN. S82 VICE. When that a ring of Greeks have hemm'tl thee in, Like an Olympian wrestling : This have I seen; But this thy countenance, still lock'd in steel, I never saw till now. I knew thy grand- sire, And once fought with him : he was a soldier good; But, by great Mars, the captain of us all, Never like thee : Let an old man embrace thee; And, worthy warrior, welcome to our tents. T. C, IV : 5. 1133. VICE. — Destroys itself. Ant. You have been a boggier ever : — But when we in our viciousness grow hard, (O misery on 't!) the wise gods seel our eyes ; In our own filth drop our clear judgments ; make us Adore our errors ; laugh at us, while we strut To our confusion. A. C., Ill: 11. 1566. — Its Face of Fire. Fal. Do thou amend thy face, and I '11 amend my life : Thou art our admiral, thou bearest the lantern in the poop, — but 't is in the nose of thee; thou art the knight of the burning lamp. Bard. Why, sir John, my face does you no harm. Fal. No, I '11 be sworn ; I make as good use of it as many a man doth of a death's head, or a memento mori; I never see thy face, but I think upon hell-fire, and Dives that lived in purple ; for there he is in his robes, burning, burning. If thou wert any way given to virtue, I would swear by thy face; my oath should be, By this fire: but thou art altogether given over: and wert in- 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- uus, or a ball of wildfire, there 's no pur- chase in money. O, 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- tained that salamander of yours with fire, any time this two-and-thirty years : Heaven reward me for it ! Bard. 'Sblood, I would my face were in your belly ! Fal. God-a-mercy ! so should I be sure to be heart-burned. //. IV., lpt., Ill: 3. 749. — Its Fretences. P. Hen. Do thou stand for my father, and examine me upon the particulars of my life. Fal. Shall I? content: — This chair shall be my state, this dagger my sceptre, and this cushion my crown. P. Hen. Thy state is taken for a joint- stool, thy golden sceptre for a leaden dag- ger, and thy precious rich crown, for a piti- ful bald crown ! Fal. Well, an the fire of grace be not quite out of thee, now shalt thou be moved. — Give me a cup of sack, to make mine eyes look red, that it may be thought I have wept; for I must speak in passion, and I will do it in king Cambyses' vein.

H., I: 5. 1400. — Describing himself. Fal. A good portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent; of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye, and a most noble carriage ; and. as I think, his age some fifty, or, by'r-lady, in- clining to threescore ; and now I remember me, his name is Falstaff: if that man should be lewdly given, he deceiveth me ; for, Harry, I see virtue in his looks. If then the tree may be known by the fruit, as the fruit by the tree, then, peremptorily I speak it, there is virtue in that Falstaff: him keep with, the rest banish. H. IV., 1 pt., II : 4. 742.

Tit. And., V : 2. 1228. — Superlative. Aar.

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!" Glo. 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 looked deadly pale. Which when I saw, I reprehended them; And ask'd the mayor, what meant this wilful 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 wisdom, and your love to Richard : " And even here brake off, and came away. Glo. What tongueless blocks were they ! Would they not speak ? R. III., Ill: 7. 1027 VINDICTIVENESS. — Cruel.

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 voice, Was wont to cheer his dad in mutinies? Or, with the rest, where is your darling Rutland? 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, 1 hat 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, 'tis 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. H. VI., 3 pt., 1 : 4. 960. 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. M.A.,II: I. 232. VIRGIN.— Born, to Die a. Gran. She shall be, to the happiness of England, An aged princess ; many days shall see her, 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. H.

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. M. JT., 1 : 1. 322. — Self -destructive. Count. This young gentlewoman had a father, (0, that had! how sad a passage 't is!) whose skill was almost as great as his honesty ; had it streteh'd so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work. A. W., II : 1. 495. VIRTUE. — Dearer than Life. Isab. 0, 't is the cunning livery of hell, The damned'st body to invest and cover In princely guards !

Yes, he would give 't thee, from this rank offence, So to offend him still. This night 's the time That I should do what I abhor to name, Or else thou diest to-morrow. Claud. Thou shalt not do 't.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together : our virtues would be proud, if our faults whipp'd them not; and our crimes would despair, if they were not eherish'd by our virtues.

Admit no other way to save his life, (As I subscribe not that, nor any other, But in the case of question,) that you, his jsjister, VIRGINITY. 5 88 VIRTUES. Finding yourself desir'd of such a person, Whose credit with the judge, or own great place, Could fetch your brother from the manacles Of the all-binding law ; and that there were No earthly mean to save him, but that either You must lay down the treasures of your body To this supposed, or else to let him suffer ; What would you do? Isab. 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 yield My body up to shame.

What, was she ravish'd? tell, who did the deed. Tit. Will 't please you eat? will 't please your highness feed? Tarn. Why hast thou slain thine only daughter thus? Tit. Not I; '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. Sat. Die, frantic wretch, for this ac- cursed deed. Luc. Can the son's eye behold his father bleed? There 's meed for meed, death for a deadly deed. Tit. And., V : 3. 1230. — Public, remorseless. Com. I offer 'd to awaken his regard For his private friends : His answer to me was, He could not stay to pick them in a pile Of noisome, musty chaff: He said, 't was folly, For one poor grain or two, to leave un- burnt, And still to nose the offence.

O, let thy 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. K. J., Ill: 1. 659 — Hasty, may be broken. Pro. * * Unheedful vows may needfully be broken. T.

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. Dogb. 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. Dogb. 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 you 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. 2 Watch. If Ave know him to be a thief, shall we not lay hands on him? Dogb. 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. Verg. You have been always call'd a merciful man, partner. Dogb. Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will ; much more a man who hath 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. 2 Watch. How if the nurse be asleep, and will not hear us? Dogb. Why, then depart in peace, and let the child wake her with crying : for the ewe that will not hear her lamb when it baes, will never answer a calf Avhen it bleats. Verg. 'T is very true. Dogb. This is the end of the charge. M. A., Ill : 3. 240. WATER — Weak, but honest. Apem. * * Here 's that, which is too weak to be a sinner, Honest water, which ne'er left man i' the mire. T.A,l: 2. 1290.

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.

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.

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. />., V : 2. 294. — Women's Irrepressible. Ros. Or else she could not have the wit to do this : the wiser, the waywarder.

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 unsatisfied 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. H. VIII., IV : 2. 1085. — Katharine's Picture of. Kaih. So may he rest ; his faults lie gen- tly on him ! 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 pW; 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. //., VIII, IV : 2. 1084. WOMAN.— (See Wit.) A bad De- scribed. York.

O, tiger's heart, wrapp'd in a woman's hide ! How could'st thou drain the life-blood of the child To bid the father wipe his eyes withal, And yet be seen to bear a woman's face?

But that still use of grief makes wild grief tame, My tongue should to thy ears not name my boys, Till that my nails were anchor 'd in thine eyes; And I, in such a desperate bay of death, Like a poor bark, of sails and tackling reft, Rush all to pieces on thy rocky bosom.

Win her with gifts, if she respect not words ; Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, More than quick words, do move a woman's mind. Duke. But she did scorn a present that I sent her. 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 graces ; Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces. That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. T G., Ill : l. 60. — In Haste.
