Can vengeance be pursued farther than death? 506 A noble resolve. 35-v. 3. Had I a dozen sons,-each in my love alike,-I had rather had eleven die nobly for their country, than one voluptuously surfeit out of action. 507 Sorrows eased by being imparted. Why should calamity be full of words? Windy attorneys to their client woes, Poor breathing orators of miseries! 28-i. 3. Let them have scope; though what they do impart Help nothing else, yet do they ease the heart. 508 Flattery. He that's once denied, will hardly speed. This 24-iv. 4.

Then was I as a tree, Whose boughs did bend with fruit: but in one night, Shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my leaves, This gate 31-iii. 3. Instructs you how to adore the heavens; and bows you To morning's holy office: The gates of monarchs 515 Town and country life contrasted. 31-iii. 3. * Root is received by all the commentators, but evidently wrong; if fruit be taken, then the metaphor throughout is complete.-In confirmation of this, it may be observed that frosts do not nip the roots of trees and plants; they are so deep in the earth as to be protected from the influence of frosts. And it is therefore not to be thought that Shakspeare, who was so minute and accurate an observer of nature, should have written root. ↑ Strut, walk proudly. Scaly-winged. Than is the full-wing'd eagle. O, this life* Did you but know the city's usuries, And felt them knowingly; the art o' the court, The fear's as bad as falling; the toil of the war, A pain that only seems to seek out danger I' the name of fame, and honour; which dies i' the And hath as oft a slanderous epitaph, As record of fair act; nay, many times, [search; 31-iiį. 3. Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, 516 Secrecy. Affairs, that walk at midnight, have In them a wilder nature, than the business 517 Death terrible to the wicked. 25-v. 1.

The soul and body rive* not more in parting, Than greatness going off. 30-iv. 11. When clouds are seen, wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall, then winter is at hand; When the sun sets, who doth not look for night? Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. Before the days of change, still is it so : The water swelled before a boist'rous storm, An habitation giddy and unsure Hath he, that buildeth on the vulgar heart. 24-ii. 3. 24-ii. 3.

The effects of care on age and youth. Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie; But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain. Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign. 35-ii. 3. 524 Impartiality to be shown in judging. He, who the sword of Heaven shall bear, Should be as holy as severe : Pattern in himself to know, Grace to stand, and virtue go; More nor less to others paying, 525 Suspicion. 5-iii. 2. Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect That modesty may more betray our sense 527 Life. Hold the world but as the world, 9-i. 3. 5-ii. 2. A stage, where every man must play a part. 9-i. 1. In our own natures frail; and capable 529 Ambition. Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, 25-v. 2. Till, by broad spreading, it disperse to nought. 530 Pleasure, preferred to knowledge. 21-i. 2. Who, being mature in knowledge, Pawn their experience to their present pleasure, And so rebel to judgment. 531 30-i. 4. Mind uncultivated. "Tis an unweeded garden, That grows to seed; things rank, and gross in nature, Possess it merely.* 532 Opportunity personified. Unruly blasts wait on the tender spring; 36-i. 2. Unwholesome weeds take root with precious flowers; The adder hisses where the sweet birds sing; * Entirely. |
