A poor unmanly melancholy, sprung 410 The world's large tongue 27-iv. 3. Proclaims you for a man replete with works; 411 Art thou a man? thy form cries out thou art; Unseemly woman, in a seeming man! Or ill-beseeming beast, in seeming both! I thought thy disposition better temper'de 412 8-v. 2. 35-iii. 3. O, sir, we quarrel in print, by the book; as you have books for good manners: I will name you the degrees. The first, the Retort courteous; the second, the Quip modest; the third, the Reply churlish; the fourth, the Reproof valiant; the fifth, the Countercheck quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with circumstance; the seventh, the Lie direct. All these you may avoid, but the lie direct; and you may avoid that too, with an If. I knew when seven justices could not take up a quarrel; but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an If, as If you said so, then I said so; and they shook hands, and swore brothers. Your If is the only peace-maker; much virtue in If. 10-v. 4. 413 O knowledge ill-inhabited! worse than Jove in a thatched house. 414 This is a slight unmeritable man, 10-iii. 2. And though we lay these honours on this man, 415 29-iv. 1. A very superficial, ignorant, unweighing fellow. 416 He ambled up and down With shallow jesters, and rash bavin wits, 5-iii. 2. Had his great name profaned with their scorns; That, being daily swallow'd by men's eyes, To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof a little 417 18-iii. 2. I leave my duty a little unthought of, and speak out of my injury. 418 4-v. 1. He hath bought a pair of cast lips of Diana: a nun of winter's sisterhood kisses not more religiously; the very ice of chastity is in them. 10-iii. 4. 419 My friends-they praise me, and make an ass of me; now, my foes tell me plainly I am an ass: so that by my foes, sir, I profit in the knowledge of myself; and by my friends I am abused: so that, conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives make your two affirmatives, why, then the worse for my friends, and the better for my foes. 420 Hence shall we see, If power change purpose, what our seemers be. 421 Why art thou old, and want'st experience? 4-v. 1. 5-i. 4. 22-v. 1. 422 I am a feather for each wind that blows. 13-ii. 3. 423 Thou should'st not have been old, before thou had'st been wise. 424 Well, whiles I am a beggar I will rail, 425 Since I am crept in favour with myself, 426 34-i. 5. 16-ii. 2. These old fellows 24-i. 2. Have their ingratitude in them hereditary : 427 27-ii. 2. Your speech is passion, But, pray you, stir no embers up. 30-ii. 2. 428 Anger's my meat; I sup upon myself, 429 28-iv. 2. 'Tis the infirmity of his age: yet he hath ever but slenderly known himself.. The best and soundest of his time hath been but rash; then must we look to receive from his age, not alone the imperfections of long-engrafted condition, but, therewithal, the unruly way wardness, that infirm and choleric years bring with them. 430 His discontents are unremovably 34-i. 1. Coupled to nature. 431 27-v. 2. I see no more in you, than in the ordinary 432 A man, whose blood Is very snow-broth; one who never feels 10-iii. 5. The wanton stings and motions of the sense. 5—i. 5. 433 How green are you, and fresh in this old world! 434 16-iii. 4. Things small as nothing, for request's sake only, He in commotion rages, And batters down himself: What should I say? 26-ii. 3. 435 No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Was to be so unwise, to be so kind. What shall be done? He will not hear, till feel. 436 27-ii. 2. Alas, he is shot through the ear with a love-song; the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt-shaft.* 437 35-ii. 4. There should be small love 'mongst these sweet knaves, And all this court'sy! The strain of man's bred out Into baboon and monkey.t 438 You smell this business with a sense as cold As is a dead man's nose. 439 He would make his will 27—i. 1. 13-ii. 1. Lord of his reason. 440 30-iii. 11. Your wisdom is consumed in confidence. 29-ii. 2. 441 What would you have me? go to the wars, would you? where a man may serve seven years for the loss of a leg, and have not money enough in the end to buy him a wooden one. 33-iv. 6. 442 They should be good men; their affairs as righteous: But all hoods make not monks. * Arrow. 25-iii. 1. † Man is degenerated; his strain or lineage is worn down to a monkey. + Professions. As, i. e. are. |
