ship shall know by this honest old man; and, though I say it, though old man, yet, poor man, my father.

As I am mad, I do:

If you'll be patient,
That cures us both.

Merchant of Venice Act 2 Scene 2.

Cloten.

Do you call me fool?

Imogen.

I'll no more be mad;

I am much sorry, sir,

You put me to forget a lady's manners,

By being so verbal: and learn now, for all,
That I, which know my heart, do here pronounce,
By the very truth of it, I care not for you;

And am so near the lack of charity,

(To accuse myself,) I hate you: which I had rather
You felt, than make 't my boast.

Grunio.

Tell thou the tale: But hadst thou not crossed me, thou shouldst have heard how her horse fell, and she under her horse; thou shouldst have heard, in how miry a place: how she was bemoiled; how he left her with the horse upon her; how he beat me, because her horse stumbled; how she waded through the dirt, to pluck him off me; how we swore; how she prayed that never pray'd before; how I cried; how the horses ran away; how her bridle was burst; how I lost my crupper; with many things of worthy memory; which now shall die in oblivion, and thou return unexperienced to thy grave. Taming the Shrew Act 4 Scene 1.

King Henry the Eighth and Queen Katherine, his loving, godly, and lawful wife, your Highness lawful father and mother, cannot but think ourselves most bounden, both by our duty of allegiance to your Majesty, and of conscience towards God, to shew unto your Highness, first, how that the same matrimony, being contracted, solemnized and consummated, by the agreement and assent of both their most noble parents, by the counsel and advice of the most wise and gravest men of both their realms,

F. Peter.

Come, I have found you out a stand most fit,

Where you may have such vantage on the duke,

He shall not pass you: Twice have the trumpets sounded;
The generous and gravest citizens

Have hent the gates, and very near upon

The duke is ent'ring; therefore hence, away.

Measure For Measure Act 4 Scene 6.

1. Cit.

So stood the state, when Henry the Sixth
Was crown'd in Paris but at nine months old.

3. Cit.

Stood the state so? no, no, good friends, God wot;
For then this land was famously enrich'd
With politic grave counsel; then the king
Had virtuous uncles to protect his grace.

Richard III. Act 2 Scene 3.

by the deliberate and mature consideration and consent of the best and most notable men in learning, in those days, of Christendom, did even so continue by the space of twenty years and more between them, to the pleasure of Almighty God and satisfaction of the world, the joy and comfort of all the subjects of this realm, and to their own repose and good contentment, God giving for a sure token and testimony of his good acceptation of the same,

How did this offer seem received, my lord?

In which said two acts (25. Henry VIII. cap. 22 and 28. Henry VIII. cap. 7) was contained the illegitimations of your most noble person, which your said most noble person being born in so solemn a marriage, so openly approved in the world, and with so good faith both first contrated, and also by so

Reg.

I am made of that self metal as my sister,
And prize me at her worth. In my true heart
I find, she names my very deed of love;

Only she comes too short,

that I profess

Myself an enemy to all other joys,

Which the most precious square of sense possesses;
And find, I am alone felicitate

In your dear highness' love.

Bassianus.

Believe me, queen, your swarth Cimmerian
Doth make your honour of his body's hue,
Spotted, detested, and abominable.

Titus Andronicus Act 2 Scene 3.

Othello.

Minion, your dear lies dead,

And your fate hies apace: Strumpet, I come:
Forth of my heart those charms, thine eyes are blotted;
Thy bed, lust-stain'd, shall with lust's blood be spotted.

Lysander.

Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head,

Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena,

Act 3 Scene 3.

And won her soul; and she, sweet lady, dotes,
Devoutly dotes, dotes in idolatry,

Upon this spotted and inconstant man.

Midsummer Night's Dream Act 1 Scene 1.

2. Senator.

March, noble lord,

Into our city with thy banners spread:

By decimation, and a tithed death,

(If thy revenges hunger for that food,

Which nature loathes,) take thou the destined tenth;

And by the bazard of the spotted die,

Let die the spotted.

Timon of Athens Act 5 Scene 5.

Leontes.

Make 't thy question, and go rot!

Dost think, I am so muddy, so unsettled,
To appoint myself in this vexation? sully
The purity and whiteness of my sheets,

Which to preserve, is sleep; which being spotted,
Is goads, thorns, nettles, tails or wasps?

Winter's Tale Act 1 Scene 2.

King Richard.

O villains, vipers, damn'd without redemption!

Dogs, easily won to fawn on any man!

Snakes in my heart-blood warm'd, that sting my heart!
Three Judases, each one thrice worse than Judas!

Would they make peace? terrible hell make war
Upon their spotted souls for this offence!

Richard II. Act 3 Scene 2.

And now we your Highness said most loving, faithful, and obedient subjects, of a godly heart and true meaning, freely and frankly, without fear, fancy,

Desdemona.

My lord, what is your will?

Othello.

Pray, chuck, come hither.

What is your pleasure?

Othello.

Let me see your eyes;

Look in my face.

Desdemona.

What horrible fancy's this?

or any other corrupt motion or sensual affection,

Jago.

If the balance of our lives had not one scale of reason to poise another of sensuality, the blood and baseness of our natures would conduct us to most preposterous conclusions: But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts; whereof I take this, that you call love, to be a sect, or scion. Othello Act 1 Scene 3.

-

considering that this foresaid marriage had his beginning of God, and by him was continued, and therefore was ever, and is

to be taken for a most true, just, lawful and to all respects, a sincere and perfect marriage, nor could, ne ought by any man's power, authority, or jurisdiction be dissolved, broken, or separated, (for whom God joineth, no man can, ne ought to put asunder), and considering also, how during, the same marriage in godly concord, the realm in all degrees flourished, to the glory of God, the honour of the prince, and the great reputation of the subjects of the same, and on the other side understanding manifestly, that the ground of the said device and practice for the said divorce proceeded first of malice and vain glory, and afterward was prosecuted and followed of fond affection and sensual fantasie

Song.

Fye on sinful fantasy!

Fye on lust and luxury!

Lust is but a bloody fire,

Kindled with unchaste desire,

Fed in heart; whose flames aspire,

As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher.
Pinch him, fairies, mutually;

Pinch him for his villainy;

Pinch him, and burn him, and turn him about,

Till candles, and star-light, and moonshine be out.

Merry Wives Act 5 Scene 5.

Have done thy carm, thou hateful wither'd hag.

Queen Margaret.

And leave out thee? stay, dog, for thou shalt hear me.
If Heaven have any grievous plague in store,

Exceeding those that I can wish upon thee,

O let them keep it, till thy sins be ripe,
