340 What need'st thou run so many miles about, When thou mayst tell thy tale the nearest way?

24-iv. 4. 341

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.

8-v. 2. 342

You have got a humour there,
Does not become a man ; 'tis much to blame :-
They say, that ira furor brevis est,
But yond' man's ever angry.

343 I would give a thousand pound, I could run as fast as thou canst. You are straight enough in the shoulders, you care not who sees your back.

345 The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.

When he walks, he moves like an engine, and the ground shrinks before the treading. He is able to pierce a corslet with his eye; talks like a knell, and his hum is a battery. He sits in his state,* as a thing madet for Alexander. What he bids be done, is finished with his bidding.

346 Contemplation makes a rare turkey-cock of him; how he jets* under his advanced plumes. 4-ii. 5.

347
The patch is kind enough: but a huge feeder,
Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day
More than the wild cat.

348 I am known to be a humorous patrician, and one that loves a cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tybers in't; said to be something imperfect, in favouring the first complaint: hasty, and tinder-like, upon too trivial motion : one that converses more with the buttock of the night, than with the forehead of the morning. What I think, I utter; and spend my malice in my breath.

349 In our last conflict four of his five wits went halting off, and now is the whole man governed with one : so that if he have wit enough to keep himself warm, let him bear it for a difference between himself and his horse ; for it is all the wealth that he hath left, to be known a reasonable creature.

Get thee glass eyes ;
And, like a scurvy politician, seem
To see the things thou dost not.

353 I would your spirit were easier for advice, Or stronger for your need.

354 Wilt thou show the whole wealth of thy wit in an instant?

9-iii. 5.

355 I am not fat enough to become the function well; nor lean enough to be thought a good student: but to be said, an honest man, and a good housekeeper, goes as fairly, as to say a careful man, and a great scholar.

4-iv. 2.

356 This man hath robbed many beasts of their particular additions ;* he is as valiant as the lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant: a man, into whom nature hath so crowded humours, that his valour is crushed into folly, his folly sauced with discretion : there is no man hath a virtue, that he hath not a glimpse of; nor any man an attaint, but he carries some strain of it: He is melancholy without cause, and merry against the hair :f He hath the joints of every thing ; but every thing so out of joint, that he is a gouty Briareus, many hands and no use; or purblind Argus, all eyes and no sight.

364 Hath not the world one man, but he will wear his cap with suspicion ?* Shall I never see a bachelor of three-score again? Go to, i'faith : an thou wilt needs thrust thy neck into a yoke, wear the print of it, and sigh away Sundays.

6-i. 1. 365

You shall find there
A man, who is the abstract of all faults
That all men follow.

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 purchased;t what he cannot change,
Than what he chooses.

366 Manhood is melted into courtesies,f valour into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones too: he is now as valiant as Hercules, that only tells a lie, and swears it.

368 I have forsworn his company hourly any time this two-and-twenty years; and yet I am bewitched with the rogue's company. If the rascal have not given me medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged; it could not be else ; I have drunk medicines.
